- St John's wort
refers to the species Hypericum perforatum, also known as Tipton's Weed
or Klamath weed, but, with qualifiers, is used to refer to any species
of the genus Hypericum. Therefore, H. perforatum is sometimes called
Common St. John's wort to differentiate it.
- St. John’s Wort has
been used in folk medicine since the Middle Ages. It was used by mouth
to reduce inflammation, to ease stomach pain, to help sleeplessness,
as a diuretic, to ease nerve pain, for headaches, and to treat
anxiety. It was applied to the skin to treat bruises, muscle pain,
mild
burns, smooth white spots on the skin, and for hemorrhoids.
Recently, St. John’s Wort has been used to treat mild
depression.
- Pressurized solvent
extraction is a new technique that reduces solvent consumption and
sample preparation time.The fast PSE is an automated system which
processes six samples simultaneously. The parallel processing technology
of the fast PSE dramatically increases sample throughput compared to
Soxhlet and pressurized solvent extraction systems that employ serial
processing. In addition to rapid extraction times, significant reduction
in solvent consumption is achieved.
- The extracts of St.
John´s wort Hypericum perforatum L .ssp. angustifolium from the new
locality, Sobina, (the surroundings of Vranje, South Serbia, Yugoslavia)
obtained by high pressure extraction with CO2, exert antimicrobial
action, where the extract obtained under higher pressure exerted
stronger action
- St. Johnswort
(Hypericum perforatum L.) isutilized as a bulk raw material by the
herbal products industry, where fresh flowers and flowering tips are
manufactured into dried extract.
- The market for Saint
John’s Wort varies with world demand and production. Saint John’s Wort
cameinto the limelight in 1997 when it was featured onthe television
program 20/20. The commercial cropin Europe was less than projected and
the resulting effect was that prices soared to the $20.00/lb. (US)level
within one week. Saint John’s Wort continuesto be an important herb in
the North American andEuropean medicinal markets but prices swings
aremuch less than in 1997. Prices in 1999 varied from $5.00-13.00/US/lb.
for small lots and were as low as$1.50/lb. US for large lots. It is
imperative thatthorough market research be carried out and
potentialbuyers be located and communicated with prior toharvesting this
crop.
- In modern medicine,
standardized Hypericum extract (obtained from H. perforatum) is commonly
used as a treatment for depression and anxiety disorders
- The active
therapeutic ingredients in St. John's wort are hypericin,
pseudohypericin and xanthones, although other components may support the
action of these compounds. St. John's wort extract preparations are
standardized to 0.3 percent hypericin. The typical adult dosage is 300
milligrams taken three times a day, and that means that a person taking
St. John's wort gets 2.7 milligrams of hypericin a day.
- Traditionally,
extracts of St. Johns Wort (which contain hypericin) have been used as
an antidepressant, possibly by acting as a MAO inhibitor. The
psychotropic effects attributed to hypericin in St. Johns Wort extract
suggest that the pigment compound can cross the blood brain barrier
- In accordance with
the legend of wound healing during the Crusades, we find agreement in
modern times. St. Johns Wort today has been found to be very beneficial
in healing wounds and is especially good for dirty, septic wounds. St.
Johns Wort has been used in case of putrid leg ulcers, that noting
heals. Like the leach that was used not too many years ago for wound
cleansing it does not destroy the healthy tissues and healthy cells but
it cleans the dirt out of septic wounds.
