ST. JOHN'S WORT

Especially effective in healing wounds, it cleans the dirt out of septic wounds while not destroying the healthy tissue. It is also useful as an anti-depressant and eases painful menstruation and other chronic uterine problems. It can relieve pain and clear lung congestion. HOWEVER, this herb can cause an allergic reaction when those with light, fair skin are exposed to sunlight, sometimes resulting in DEATH. Luckily, there are always several herbs that are effective with any problem. If you must take St. John s Wort, stay out of strong sunlight as it will cause even dark skin to burn.
