Function: 1) Depression Earnest recent researches began in the early 1980s, when attention given to Hypericum focused primarily on its use in the treatment of mild to moderate depression. Anxiety, apathy, depression, insomnia, hypersomnia (excessive sleep), tension, irritability, feelings of worthlessness and menopausal neurosis may all be alleviated by Hypericum extract. Hypericum may increase levels of certain nerve impulse transmitters in the brain. These transmitters are responsible for maintaining emotional stability and mood. Other mechanisms, including the effect on the release of melatonin (the sleep regulating hormone) and interaction with light, have also been mentioned as possible influences on Hypericum's mode of action. A remarkable advantage is that Hypericum has none of the side-effects commonly associated with antidepressant drugs. 2) Alcoholism In animal studies, Hypericum perforatum substantially reduced the craving for and intake of alcohol. It is hypothesized that alcohol abuse may be a form of self-medication and that, by relieving depressive symptoms, Hypericum perforatum may reduce the perceived need for alcohol. 3) Bacterial infections In laboratory studies, Hypericum perforatum has demonstrated the ability to fight certain infections, including some bacteria that are resistant to the effects of antibiotics. More researches are needed in this area to understand if these test tube findings will prove useful for people. 4) Premenstrual syndrome (PMS) An early study suggests that Hypericum perforatum may be useful in relieving both physical and emotional symptoms of PMS including cramps, irritability, and food cravings. 5) Seasonal affective disorder (SAD) Hypericum perforatum can improve mood in those suffering from SAD (a form of depression that occurs during the winter months because of lack of sunlight). This condition is often treated with photo (light) therapy. Effects may prove to be even greater when the herb is used in combination with light therapy.
