Abstract
Hypericum L. is a medicinal plant which is commonly found on earth, has many varieties and the most frequently studied regarding its antimicrobial, antifungal and antiviral effects because of its biological and chemical content. The most recognizable genus of Hypericum is Hypericum perforatum (common St. John's Wort: SJW). The plants of that genus comprise several different chemical compounds.
