Hello together
I once got a question. Always in the winter I get winter depression. I've heard that some people-helping St. John's wort extract, but have not tried myself. Has anyone experience that? How many takes as you? Greeting and thanks Sunflower |

Hello Sunflower
I myself have no experience with St. John's wort extract, because I suffer from depression. In a lecture of us was once briefly touched on the topic of St. John's wort. The "sticking point" at St. John's wort is that it is a natural product, where none of the actual drug (or drug combinations) knows that creates a mood brightening. This creates a mood-brightening effect is not guaranteed. A batch (capsules or droplets produced) in one day can act as very good, not the next again vary, simply because the concentrations at the crucial ingredient. St. John's wort should be used for a longer period, before shows a mood-brightening effect. But you can give it a try once. Damage does not do it ![]() If you are suffering from depression, but only in winter, it is perhaps even on the lack of light. There are some light bulbs produce light in a given wave spectrum. The help of pure winter depression usually best. The best you inform yourself time with your family doctor. Greeting Michael |

Light, or its absence, is definitely the catalyst for a so-called winter depression.
St. John's wort increases the sensitivity to light, what does that mood. Therefore, one should not take too long under the tanning bed or sunbathing, if you take St. John's wort. The fact is sunburn. Otherwise, it does help, definitely. But only against the "winter depression". Against "real" St. John's wort and depression can not do anything. Greeting Philip |

And care:
As far as I know John's wort may override the effect of the anti-birth control! |
