Today it is used in Europe as a cure for treating mild to moderate forms of depression and toning agent for nerve anxiety. In a study with 20 random tests on ambulatory patients suffering from mild to moderate forms of depression, the results indicated that Hypericum perforatum proved more effective influence in comparison with placebo and show comparable efficacy to some standard antidepressants.
