SCHWABE Hypericum perforatum 1X (The nerve healer)

DESCRIPTION :- 

Hypericum perforatum is a herbaceous perennial plant native to Europe, Central China, Western Himalayas, and Northern Africa.

It is a member of the Hypericaceae family.

The name Hypericum comes from the Greek words hyper meaning above and eikon meaning picture, as in olden days flowers were kept above pictures, images, and windows as it was thought that the evil spirits hated this plant and it would send them off.

Hypericum perforatum typically grows in dry sandy areas and prefers woods, and sunlight and the plant bears star-shaped yellow flowers during the summer season. Each flower has five petals, and they embody small pinpoint holes hence the name perforatum. And when the flowers are crushed or rubbed they leave the surface stained red which resembles blood.

Commonly known as St. John’s wort, God’s wonder plant, Witches Herb, Devil’s Scourge, goatweed or Klamath weed.

Action

The phytochemicals in flowers and leaves are hypericin and hyperforin. They are biologically active and are responsible for their effects and actions. Many studies prove that Hyperforin inhibits the synaptic reuptake of certain neurotransmitters like serotonin, noradrenaline, dopamine, and GABA. This mechanism is mainly responsible for its antidepressant and therapeutic activity. But pure hyperforin is a more potent antidementia agent than an antidepressant.
