Hypericum perforatum l. - Tradition, culture and ethopharmacological uses in Romania
Journal Title: Studia Universitatis "Vasile Goldis" Arad - Seria Stiinte Ingineresti si agro-turism - Year 2015, Vol 10, Issue 1
Abstract
Majority of the people still rely on traditional medicine for their everyday healthcare needs. Despite widespread use of plant resources in traditional medicines, bioassay analysis of very few plant species have been conducted to investigate their medicinal properties and to ascertain safety and eficacy of traditional remedies. Hypericum perforatum has remained a treatment used in the tradition of the Romanian people for anxiety, depression, cuts, burns and digestive diseases. Documented pharmacological activities, including antidepressant, antiviral, and antibacterial effects, provide supporting evidence for several of the traditional uses stated for St John's wort.
