St. John's Wort Tincture

St. John's Wort is commonly used to treat depression, anxiety, restlessness, and insomnia. It is especially effective for seasonal affective disorder (SAD), OCD, and reducing hormonal imbalances during menopause, including symptoms like depression and fatigue. The herb also helps with mild opiate withdrawal and supports those trying to quit smoking. It calms the nervous system, alleviates nerve and back muscle pain, and treats ulcers and gastric issues. Its anti-inflammatory properties aid in reducing inflammation, especially for hemorrhoids, and it speeds recovery by removing fluids and toxins through urination. St. John's Wort can also help children with bedwetting by preventing fluid buildup in the bladder. It has benefits for conditions like arthritis and gout and can clear chest congestion. For best results, it should be used daily. However, it can interact with certain medications, so it's essential to consult a doctor before use, particularly for individuals with bipolar disorder, as it may increase manic episodes.
