Thanks so much, and I'm very glad for all this information and clarification of this plant. Sadly my mom was on several drugs for her mental disorders and she decided to self medicate with this plant and it ended very badly. Thankful she is still alive. but since then I've just considered this an herb to stay away from. I really wish I had this information sooner but sadly this happened to mom my quite a long time ago and information wasn't as easy to find. And she just listened to what some others said was working for them. Love you ch. And I love that you really help to inform us fully.

You'd need to key it out botanically using leaf structure. Flowers are often the best way to get a proper ID in most plants though.
Another lovely video! Thanks Rosalee 🙏🏼 I am wondering, when discussing photosynthesis and St. John’s wart… I use a sun lamp in the fall and winter, for seasonal depression. I have been wanting to use St. John’s wart for SAD too, but curious if this combination too would create photosynthesis? Also if using st. J for SAD would it be best to use tea or tincture? Thank you
@HerbsWithRosalee
3 жыл бұрын
It is rare that the whole herb causes problems but it is a good idea to be very cautious in trying this out. So if you take SJW then try the lamp, start out with just a minute or two on the lamp and slowly increase. Both the tea and tincture work well.

St. John's wort can cause photosensitivity and increase burns from the sun, so if you use it be cautious with your sunlamp.

Hi, can I take st John's wort with duromine Thanks 👍🏻

Thank you for the provacative info of the herb. I suffer with many nerve related issues which stem from various levels of "crimping" of my spinal cord inpingements due to stenosis and facet joint arthritis throughout the spine.and Fibromyalgia . I have been presribed Gabapentin which i take sparingly. Also, after seeing a neural psychologist for chronic pain and chronic anxiety, she referred me to psychiatrist who prescribed Prozac. I have " self weaned" off Prozac. Still need the gabapentin because restraining of it causes me to become irritable. God damn The Pusherman, accordi g to Steppin Wolf. I learned recently the GP is almost impossible to stop according to the neurologist who prescribed it!!! Gee tha ks Doc. I should have been made aware of that important issure. Dear Lady, can i take St. Johns Wort for what ails me ? Thx for you advice. PS.... I take many supplements, too numerous to mention here without a doctor's advice. Self researched.
does it help pimples and scars on face. and how to use on face.

Is it OK to take st johns wort with saffron extract and Rhubarb extract,..I want to take all 3 for my hot flashes.
In my State in Australia, Victoria, also NSW, St John’s Wort is not allowed (forbidden) to be imported as a plant from the State of Queensland where it is grown. Supposedly it is a toxic or noxious weed.
This was super informative, thank you. I've tried St. John's Wort a few times, the first time it actually caused me to start stuttering badly for some reason...with this brand it's made with the plant matter but not any hypericin or hyperforin extract and it started working well for my mood and social anxiety but my eyes felt sensitive to the sun. I've read articles online about it saying it can cause cataracts in a lot of people but I'm skeptical about that, considering big pharma would likely tailor propaganda against herbal remedies. As long as it's not a hypericin extract I should be fine right?

It grows abundantly nearby, so I put it in the bath or in water in a tub in the sun, and use that in my bath in the evening. I also love making an oil infusion, which I find very moisturizing and great for mild sunburns, and on days when it's grey outside! I make a tincture for blue moods. I add dried flowers and leaves to tea mixes. I have never had any adverse reactions. Thanks for the video -- good to be reminded of the other qualities, especially for the spine.
