BOTANICAL NAME: Hypericum perforatum
-
Hypericum (also known as 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. Respected
physicians from the Middle Ages, treated patients with this
nerve-soothing and strengthening plant. A report from Germany states
that there are about three million prescriptions written annually for
hypericum, making it more popular than other conventional "anxiety"
drugs. It is one of nature's best herbs for the entire nervous system
and has received much medical attention and recognition in recent years.
