St John’s Wort is a popular and well studied herb with great benefit, equivalent to anti-depressants without the side effects, for many people with mild to moderate depression and/or ‘melancholy’. I like the term melancholoy because many people don’t relate to the term “depression” but might relate to “melancholy” or “a bit down” or “a bit blue”, or they just don’t feel much joy and are just going through the motions in their life. Also, seasonal affective disorder can also be a mild or more severe sense of melancholy that can be benefitted with St John’s Wort…..
