St John's wort: a prestigious 'weed'
Abstract:
St John's wort first came to my attention while reading about treatment for Premenstrual Syndrome (PMS). The possibility of a herb being used successfully by many women for mild depression immediately sparked my interest. Until that time the closest I had been to natural therapies was to use vitamins. I had been educated that evidence-based treatment was the only definitive guide to health care, therefore I decided that further investigation was warranted prior to consulting a Herbalist. This article reveals the findings of my investigation.
