St. John’s Wort extract is effective as an anti-depr
essant in the management of mood disorders. The herb is called ‘Guan Ye Lian Qiao’ in Chinese. However, because St. John’s has an important side effect of increased photosensitivity, it may be best to consider it as a winter time remedy.
See research on the treatment of depression with St. John’s here.
St. John’s Wort is also potentially effective against MRSA (methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus) and other infections. In addition to using western remedies, St. John’s Wort can be used externally as a skin soak at the location of the infection. This is because St. John’s Wort works as an ‘anti-toxin’ remedy for infection. For skin flares, I like to make a tea with St. John’s Wort and soak the area in the liquid and/or make a compress with herbs. If the infection is not broken open, I like to use St. John’s Wort Oil externally on the skin. For links to research on the ability of these herb to treat MRSA, see related post here.
Note of Caution:
Internal use of St. John’s Wort can alter the metabolism of pharmaceuticals (like the BCP) that you might be taking concurrently, so in that regard it is safer to use externally rather than consuming it internally. Speak with your acupuncturist, herbalist or other health care practitioner before beginning internal use of St. John’s Wort to be certain it is right for you.
