Detailed information

Hypericum: Description and origin

Hypericum, or St. John’s Wort, (Hypericum perforatum L.) is a perennial herbaceous plant that belongs to the hypericaceae family. Its leaves contain multiple glands visible against the light and its flowers have five golden yellow petals with numerous prominent stamen1 that appear from May to August. It can grow up to one metre tall and mainly branches from the top of the stem; it has a woody, highly branched and fusiform root2.

Hypericum is native to temperate regions of Europe. It can be found in almost all European countries, as far as eastern Russia, and has acclimatised in many parts of the world, such as China, Australia, North Africa and America2.

Hypericum: History

Hypericum has been used for thousands of years: Hippocrates used this plant as an anti-inflammatory; Dioscorides cited it in his encyclopaedia, as did Galen and Pliny in their works3.

The name hypericum comes from the Greek hyperikon (“over images; over an apparition”), which, according to some, refers to hypericum’s ability to expel evil spirits; while for others the glands of its petals appeared to form images. Perforatum, meanwhile, refers to the fact that if the plant is observed against the light it has a perforated appearance due to the oil glands present in its leaves and sepals2.

In the Middle Ages it was believed that the scent of hypericum drove away evil spirits, and it was hung from roofs to prevent lightning and fire. It was also believed that to obtain these magical properties, it should be harvested in the early morning on St. John’s Day (24 June), the date on which St. John the Baptist was beheaded, which also coincides with the plant’s flowering3.

Hypericum: Composition

The flowering tops* of hypericum contain essential oil, coumarins (umbelliferone), phytosterols (beta-sitosterol), flavonoids, naphthodianthrones (hypericin, pseudohypericin, isohypericin and protohypericin) and prenylated phloroglucinol derivatives (hyperforin and adhyperforin). According to French Pharmacopoeia and Deutscher Arzneimittel-Codex, the extract must contain at least 0.04% of naphthodianthrones calculated as hypericin4.

*Flowering top: the top of a plant when in flower.

Hypericum: Benefits

The hyperician favors optimal relaxation1, because it helps maintain a healthy dream and positive humor1. It also contributes to emotional balance and general welfare1.
