St. John's wort is used, m.in, to alleviate the symptoms of depression, mood disorders, anxiety. When using St. John's wort preparations, solar radiation should be avoided, due to the possibility of increasing the risk of, for example, sunburn. St. John's wort reduces m.in the level of stress hormone in the blood, which can alleviate cardiovascular symptoms: https://www.gdziepolek.pl/substancje/dziurawiec-zwyczajny Numerous preparations containing St. John's wort extract are available in online and stationary pharmacies.
