Hilde Hemmes Hypericum Extract St Johns Wort
Hypericum (also called St John's wort)
has been one of the most talked about herbs in the past 10 years, but has
actually been widely-used for centuries, for treating nervous conditions.
Paracelsus, a respected and well-known physician of the Middle Ages, treated
patients with this nerve-soothing and strengthening plant.
A recent report from Germany states that there are about three million
prescriptions written annually for hypericum, making it more popular than other
conventional "anxiety" drugs. Over the last 17 years there have been dozens of
clinical trials confirming its therapeutic value.
