Hilde Hemmes Herbals Hypericum (St. Johns Wort) 1800mg 60 Capsules

Hypericum (also known as St John's wort) has been used for centuries and is one of the best known medicinal plants for the treatment of nervous disorders. Paracelsus, a respected and well-known physician of the Middle Ages, used hypericum for its nervine-tonic action.
