Can you please send me any information you have on St. John's Wart regarding its uses and the amounts that you can take.
St. John's Wort, Hypericum perforatum has anti-depressant, anti-viral, anti-inflammatory and relaxing properties.
Internally, it is used in depression, anxiety and pain. The maximum daily dosage is 4 ml of tincture, or 4 grams of dried herb 3 three times a day.
Externally, an oil made by steeping the flowers in olive oil is effective in calming, cleansing and healing wounds and burns, and relieving joint and muscular pain.
