Saint John´s Wort is recognised as a traditional medicine used topically for the treatment of wounds, abrasions, burns, sunburns and inflammatory skin disorders. Its use in wound healing could be justified with its anti-inflammatory, antimicrobial and astringent effects.
The benefits can be attributed to its active compounds like hypericin and hyperforin. This herbal supplement has antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, anti-cancer, and antimicrobial properties that help treat several health conditions. The use of St. John’s Wort can help control menopausal symptoms, promote wound healing, treat attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), improve anxiety disorder, and treat atopic dermatitis.
