Historical Background & Origin
The plant usually begins to flower around June 24, the feast day of St. John the Baptist. It contains many active ingredients that act on messenger substances in the brain that can regulate and positively influence mood.
Source of Hypericin
In simple terms, St. John's wort prevents the happiness hormone serotonin from being broken down. A high serotonin level in the brain is mood-enhancing and has a positive effect against depression. The active ingredient hypericin contained in St. John's wort is presumably responsible for this effect.
St. John's Wort
St. John's wort is not only mood-enhancing, but also has to do with the immune system, and because of the mood-enhancing effect already mentioned, it is obvious that taking St. John's wort helps with anxiety. In addition, St. John's wort can promote sleep by helping to regulate mood and increase the production of the body's own sleep hormone melatoni
