Early this century St John’s wort (SJW) was challenging conventional drugs as a viable alternative in the management of mild to moderate major depression. Then concerns about herb-drug interactions, several of them concocted and/or spurious (see my Grumpy Old Herbalist video on this topic), caused interest in SJW to wane in this context.

So a recent analysis of the accumulated clinical data for SJW in depression is highly relevant, especially as serious concerns regarding the addictive nature of selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs) have recently been uncovered.

Fourteen clinical trials with a total of 2270 depression patients were included. All analysed papers were published between 2000 and 2022. Meta-analysis of the trial data demonstrated that treatment with SJW was superior to both placebo and SSRIs.

The authors concluded that their analysis supports the clinical use of SJW in mild to moderate depression, as it reduced the number of depressive patients and their depression scores, while having fewer risks and side effects than conventional medications.
