Tip of the Week

Suffering from moderdate depression? Hyla Cass, M.D., psychiatrist & author of *St. Johnīs Wort: Natureīs Blues Buster,* recommends starting with 300 mg of St. Johnīs wort and increasing your dose by 300 mg every few days until you reach the full dose of 900 mg daily divided into 3 doses (300 mg) with each meal. Most people notice improvement within 7 to 10 days, first in improved sleep, followed by improvements in appetite, energy levels, and physical well-being, but in some people results can take up to 6 weeks.* This herb can cause increased sensitivity to sunlight AND can interact unfavorably with serotonin reuptake drugs (SSRIs), such as Prozac - so check with your doctor if youīre currently taking prescriptions drugs.
