Medicinal Use: St. John's Wort contains hypericin that inhibits monoamine

oxidase, a bodily chemical associated with depression. It appears that hypericin

does not act alone. Like many herbal medicines, St. John's Wort relies on the

complex interplay of many constituents for its antidepressant actions. Patients

suffering from depression received relief, increased appetite, more interest in life,

greater self-esteem and restoration of normal sleeping patterns.
St.John's Wort Extract is also used to cure birds flu by now in China.
