St. John's Wort is native to Europe but has been naturalized in most of the northern hemisphere. The name refers to the fact that it flowers around the feast of Saint John on June 24th, which is also close to the summer solstice. St. John's Wort is common to waste areas, roadsides, and fields. It has a rich and colorful tradition of usage dating back to ancient Greece. Gaius Plinius Secundas (Pliny the Elder) wrote about this plant in his 37 volume Natural History which served as the basis of scientific knowledge for centuries.*
In Greek it is called hypericon (above the icon) referring to its power “over the image,” and this idea was furthered through the years. The European peasants thought the plant protected them from evil spirits, witches, demons and lightning. The plant was used topically to support nerves damaged by trauma, and promote recovery from trauma to the skin like burns, wounds and bruises. It was also used internally in homeopathic preparations for nerve trauma. Modern demons like depression have been the focus of many pharmacological studies on this plant.*

Depressive Tendencies , Neural Calm , Stress , Trauma Adrenal , Central Nervous System , Nerve There have been hundreds of randomized controlled studies on St. Johnswort Extract many using the total Hamilton Depression Rating Scale (HAMD) and the Zerssen Depression scale (DS) while comparing the herbal extract to anti-depressant drugs. One double blind, randomized, placebo controlled trial conducted in France on 375 patients boasted a 50% reduction in the total Hamilton score.*
The most effective applications have involved mild to moderate depression as well as seasonal affective disorder cases. The flavonoids hypericin and hyperforin have been the most lauded chemicals contained in St. Johnswort that may be responsible for its pharmacological activity yet with all the research it is still unclear which chemicals if any are “responsible” for its activity. The flowers contain many antioxidants such as Rutin, Quercitin, and Lutein. One of the best reviews published in Phytomedicine in 2002 compiled results from 34 controlled, double blinded studies on over 3000 patients and found positive results when using between 300 and 1000 mg of extract per day. More research is needed to determine the exact mechanism of therapeutic action in this plant.*
Gaia Herbs St. Johnswort Liquid Phyto-Caps are a concentrate of fresh St. Johnswort flower buds using Gaia Herbs Wholeplant Standardization process which delivers 2.7 mg of hypericins and 540 mg of extract per dose. This is equivalent to 3.6 grams of crude powdered herb or close to 4 capsules. The difference is that Gaia Herbs patented delivery system offers the absorption and rapid response of a liquid with the convenience of a vegetarian capsule. Most of the positive research has been conducted on the extract of St. Johnswort . Gaia also offers a WholePlant standardized liquid extract delivering .25 mg of hypericin per 30 drops. Since Hypericin is known to degrade if not stabilized, Gaia Herbs Liquid Extract and Liquid Phyto-Caps are tested for Shelf Stability (as are all Gaia Herbs products), so that the dosage can be trusted until the "Best By" date provided on each label. Gaia Herbs captures the essence of Natures Vitality.*
Skullcap Herb is a member of the lamiaceae family, this plant has a long history of use in the western Naturopathic Tradition. It was used to support exhausted nerves resulting from mental and physical exhaustion, maintain normal balance in times of muscular tension, and support normal sleep patterns. Many Eclectic Medical texts mention its use to support the nerves during withdrawl from drugs. It is trophorestorative to the nervous system meaning it restores nutrition uptake to the nerves. Like most mints it is cooling yet has bitter principles and other complex chemicals making it a balanced choice as a gentle nervine.*
This plant is a nervine and contains numerous flavanoids and flavones including the flavanoid glycoside Scutellarin, essential oils, tannins, and iridoids. Scutellarin acts like quercitin in that it decreases mast cell activity. It should be noted that since Skullcap started to be used as a medicinal plant it has been prepared from the fresh plant. For further information on Skullcap consult this online resource; www.henriettesherbal.com and go to King’s American Dispensatory.*Skullcap which is harvested from its own farm and extracted in the adjacent certified organic manufacturing facility within hours of harvest. Gaia records the progress of this plant and all plants harvested from its farm from seed to finished product and could tell you the time of day it was harvested, exact field it came from, weather conditions on the day of harvest, right down to the level of chemical activity in the plant before harvest as verified by our in house analytical lab through HPLC and other highly accurate instrumentation. Few manufacturers go to such lengths but at Gaia Herbs we feel a responsibility to provide our customers with the best botanical medicine possible and continue giving them the results they deserve and have come to expect.*
