It is also beneficial for the respiratory and immune systems. Both of which are damaged by smoking.
It is often used to help improve the irritable, stressed disposition of individuals trying to break their addiction to tobacco and alcohol.
NSP offers Lobelia/St. John's Wort for smokers and Kudzu/St.John's Wort for drinkers.
St. John's Wort may cause photosensitization so be cautious of over exposure to sunshine. Studies have shown a St. John's Wort extract called "L1 160" to be beneficial in many cases of mild to moderate depression with fewer side effects than popular tricyclic antidepressants such as imipramine.
It may work by "blocking postsynaptic receptor sites for serotonin." This effect would raise scrotonin levels.

The most recent study using this herb involved 900 mg of a .3% hypercin content per day for at least four weeks.
