St. John's Wort, or Hypericum perforatum, is a flowering plant that is a member of the hypericaceae family, which has around 55 genera and over 1,000 species (1). Because the St. John's wort flower is thought to have a rich source of bioactive chemicals, including naphthoidiantrone, acylphloroglucinol, phenols, flavonoids, and essential oils, it has been used medicinally since ancient times. It has therefore gained popularity as a therapy for burns, wounds, anxiety, and depression. According to available research, this herb can effectively cure a variety of additional conditions, including cancer, bacterial and viral infections, inflammatory disorders, and kidney preservation in addition to acting as an antioxidant and vascular disease preventative (2, 3).
