Stroke of Panic

Millions of people have suffered over the centuries with the debilitating effects caused by depression and other mental anxieties. The onset of both can affect all aspects of a person's life: Their family, career, and other important relationships. For these reasons (and many others not mentioned), those affected have sought relief. Many have found using the herb St. John’s Wort brings amazing relief.

The ancient Greeks recorded the use of St. John’s Wort over 2,000 years ago and gave the herb its name from an early Christian feast of St. John the Baptist. This feast takes place near the time when the plant blooms, in late June.

This star-shaped herb has been used with great success over the years in treating mild-to-moderate depression and mild anxiety.

Only in the last 20 years has the herb’s mood-altering affects been researched and identified, although it has been used as an anti-depressant for centuries.

A reddish-purple extract called Hypericin in the plant’s leaves and blooms is the active ingredient which gives the effects, calming symptoms of depression, mild anxiety and some sleep disorders.

Recent studies have proven the functionality and success rate of St. John’s Wort. In one case, the herb gave 250% greater results than a placebo given to over 100 persons with depression. Another study showed 80% of over 3,200 people experienced significant improvement in their depression symptoms over a four-week period.

In August of 1996, the British Medical Journal ran an article analyzing 25 different studies showing how St John’s Wort relieved symptoms just as much as many of the drugs without the normal side effects of those drugs like headache and vomiting.

Although specific studies have yet to be conducted to verify St Johns Wort side effects, it continues to have success not only as an anti-depressant, but also as a remedy for nervousness, fatigue, arthritis, leg sciatica, and congestion.

So no matter which of the above ailments you may be suffering from, it is important you get your herbs from a place that keep them fresh in order for you to enjoy their body balancing properties. The Bulk Herb Store has been providing quality herbs for years and have outstanding customer service as evidenced by the feedback on their website.
