St. John's Wort - Effect Herb
St. John’s Wort is a highly prized and well regarded mood enhancement and stabilization herb. It has been used to help combat mood swings caused by Seasonal Affective Disorder, minor depression, a change in life circumstance, or general irritability. St. John’s Wort contains two important chemicals, Hyperforin - thought to be useful for its antidepressant qualities, and Hypericin - which may increase dopamine levels. The effects of St. John’s Wort are not instant, and can only truly be realized with consistent use over time, taking up to two weeks to take full effect.
St. John’s Wort may be a natural herb but it can have side effects or other drug interactions. Talk to your doctor before adding St. John’s Wort to your daily regimen, especially if you take any prescription or OTC medication.

Effect Herbs These herbs are smoked for the way they make someone feel or the effect they may otherwise have on them. Effects are anecdotal, or of historical note, not a promise or a cure. Effect herbs can generally be smoked on their own if desired, but we recommend mixing them into a base herb, as the smoke may not be pleasant or hold an ember.
