 St. John's wort (hypericum perforatum) enjoys a rich and ancient history as a natural tonic to support mood and mental wellbeing. The ancient Greeks, Hippocrates and Discorides, documented its many health giving uses. While St. John's wort and other herbs kept a low profile in the late 19th century, the herb and its supportive effect on emotional balance resurfaced when it was recognized and used in Europe for its mood enhancing properties. Since that time, St. John's wort has been studied in numerous trials in Europe and some here in the United States. It is presently being studied in trials sponsored by the National Institutes of Health (NIH). St. John's wort contains many beneficial substances, including hypericin, pseudohypericin, essential oils, glycosides, resins, rutin, flavonoids, and tannins. St. John's wort can cause skin sensitivity to sun for some people, but appears to be quite safe when taken as directed. The inositol and kelp contained in Standard Process' St. John’s Wort-IMT complement the herb's natural strength and ability to induce a calming effect and promote harmony among the different parts of the nervous system.*
- Maintains emotional balance
During the Middle Ages, St. John's wort was hung over doorways and tucked into cracks of walls and foundations to ward off evil spirits. Today, health care practitioners in many parts of the world use St. John's wort to stabilize mood. Inositol, in similar fashion, works to bring about greater emotional tranquility. Kelp, a rich source of B complex vitamins, helps support healthy brain tissue and supports the membranes surrounding the brain, spinal cord, and sensory nerves.*
- Reduces feelings of irritability
