The Hypericum plant is part of traditional medicine because of its phytotherapeutic properties, particularly its antidepressant and antiviral properties.
The origins of its use as a medicinal herb are very ancient and can be found in writings from many centuries ago.
Let’s find out together its benefits and how to use it.
The Hypericum plant, also known as.
Hypericum Perforatum
, or also known as St. John’s Wort, is a perennial medicinal plant belonging to the Clusiaceae family and the genus Hypericum.
This type of plant prefers sparse and bright forests, however outdoors all year round, as it is not afraid of cold weather. Native to the British archipelago, it is now widespread in all regions ofItaly and the rest of the world and prefers sunny or semi-shady and dry locations, such as abandoned fields and ruderal environments.
The
Hypericum plant
is known to be one of the best natural antidepressants, useful for states of mild depression, relieving mood swings, promoting relaxation and sleep, and aiding digestion.
In a review of studies as of 2008 conducted by the
Cochrane Collaboration
, one of the world’s most authoritative scientific institutions, concluded that “current evidence suggests that hypericum extracts are superior to placebo in the treatment of major depression, with similar efficacy to classic antidepressant drugs but with significantly fewer side effects“
The main therapeutic properties of Hypericum are found in the flowering tops of the St. John’s Wort plant, which are rich in flavonoids and have an antidepressant and sedative action. These substances, hypericin, rutin, quercetin and hyperoside, have a marked antidepressant and sedative action and are obtained from the dry extract or the
Hypericum Mother Tincture
.
In the leaves of Hypericum we also find important compounds such as tannins, caffeic acid, and essential oils.
In addition to
soothing states of anxiety
, of nervousness and insomnia, the active ingredients contained within it are able to increase serum serotonin levels, similar to certain antidepressant drugs, rebalancing mood..
The phytocoplex present inSt. John’s Wort acts mainly on the central nervous system by inhibiting presynaptic reuptake of serotonin and other neurotransmitters including norepinephrine, dopamine, and GABA, increasing the receptors for these neurotransmitters over time.
The
mother tincture
is the most widely used St. John’s Wort remedy because it contains in itself all the active ingredients of the plant in the same concentration as they are before refining.
Mother tincture (TM) is a liquid preparation, obtained by extracting fresh drug by
percolation
o
maceration
with a suitable solvent. The solvent most used in mother tinctures is a hydroalcoholic solution (water + alcohol) with a variable alcohol content (most often between 60 ° and 80 °) depending on the solubility of the active ingredients to be extracted.
La mother tincture of Hypericum is an herbal preparation extracted from the leaves and fruits of the plant, which are macerated in a 1:10 ratio in a solution of water and Alcohol. It is an herbal remedy
believed to be useful
for its sedative and antidepressant properties due to its beneficial effects on the nervous system.
In recent years, Mother Tinctures extracted with the
Vegetable Glycerin
instead of Alcohol, making them better in several respects.
In addition, since Glycerin is a less potent type of solvent and therefore less extractive than Alcohol, innovative extraction techniques are used, such as the
Ultrasonic Extraction
.
Ultrasound Extraction is an innovative, clean, quick and easy extraction technique that allows the extraction of active ingredients from plants and medicinal plants in particular and the production of quality phytoextracts, taking advantage of the exclusively mechanical action exerted by the cavitation effect produced by sound waves.
The Alcohol-Free Mother Tincture of Hypericum is obtained by hydroglyceric maceration of Hypericumleaves and fruits , again at a ratio of 1:10, and is an innovative type of
Mother Tinctures
, which having been obtained by the ultrasonic process, makes it better from several points of view.
