Hypericum perforatum extract is an extract derived from St. John’s Wort, or Hypericum perforatum.
St. John’s Wort is one of the most famous medical herbs in history and is also one of the most researched. It contains many unique phytochemicals that, when combined in one plant, have an array of powerful effects on human health.
It is used for its anti-inflammatory and astringent effects in skincare and can help with wound healing. The oil extract of the plant has a characteristic red color caused by the active ingredient – hypericin, which may cause a sun-induced rash in sensitive individuals.
When taken orally in tea or capsules, St. John’s Wort Extract acts as a gentle, but powerful, antidepressant.
However, it comes with a catch – it interacts with other medications, sometimes causing life-threatening drops in the medication blood levels. Caution and consultations with a doctor are always recommended.
