Modern Research of St. John's wort
St. John's wort, in use since the middle ages, is native to Europe but is now found throughout North America. Most modern research into the properties of St. John's wort has been conducted in Germany, where the use of this herb is widespread. In 1994, almost 66 million daily doses of standardized St. John's Wort extract were dispensed in Germany. Clinical interest in St. John's wort reached new heights in 1996, when the British Medical Journal published a summary of research findings, concluding that it had a beneficial effect on mental well-being.

The key constituents of St. John's wort include naphthodianthrones (hypericin and pseudohypericin), a broad spectrum of flavonoids, and phloroglucinols (especially hyperforin and adhyperforin).
