St Joan's Wort (2fl oz tincture)
This listing is for 2 fl oz of St Joan’s Wort tincture (larger bottle on the left in the first picture!)
A clinically-significant remedy for Seasonal Affective Disorder and general seasonal blues or low mood, St Joan’s is said to “let the light in” with the power of its cheerful sunny yellow flowers, while also offering support for anxiety and somatic tension. For depression, daily use for at least one month is recommended as it may be a slower, gradual effect. It is known by many indigenous peoples as “Klamath weed.”
SJW has been highly regarded as a supportive herbal option for those going through menopausal related changes, where irritability and anxiety may be clouding the system’s ability to think clearly and be grounded. It has a certain knack for “taking the edge off” and easing edginess or hypervigilance, without being overly sedative.
With moderately sedative analgesic effects, this friend is traditionally used internally for neuralgic, rheumatic, sciatic, and fibrositis-related pains, as well as sleep/insomnia support.
Actions: anti-inflammatory, astringent, vulnerary, sedative, analgesic
Dosage: take 1-3ml (full droppers) of the tincture, up to 3 times daily
St. John’s wort limits the effectiveness of many prescription medicines.
Combining St. John’s wort and certain antidepressants can lead to a potentially life-threatening increase in your body’s levels of serotonin, a chemical produced by nerve cells. It may be best to avoid taking SJW alongside prescription antidepressants or heavy sedatives (benzos, antipsychotics, etc.)
Don’t try to treat depression on your own. Depression can become severe if you don’t get effective, professional help. For some people, depression can increase the risk of suicide. Talk to your health care provider if you or someone you know may be depressed.
