Just be careful because it doesn't play well with a whole host of medications

And I mean it messes up everything from Blood Pressure Meds and Anti-Depressants to Birth Control Pills, so really check for possible interactions before trying this stuff

I have peripheral neuropathy. Don't like effects of Lyrica, or Gabapentin.

Historically, St. John's wort has been used for a variety of conditions, including kidney and lung ailments, insomnia, and depression, and to aid wound healing.

What is your problem that you need to treat.
