Chi Happiness
helps you get over the occasional blues. Its main ingredient is
hypericum (St.
John’s
Wort), which has been used for centuries in Traditional Chinese
Medicine.
Results of a
recent study published in the British Medical Journal,
revealed that St. John’s Wort (Hypericum perforatum) is
almost as effective as paroxetine, a popular antidepressant drug.
The study involved 251 patients who were given varying doses of
both the drug and St. John's Wort for 6 weeks. At the end of the
study, the hypericum group experienced a 56.6% drop in their
Hamilton score, a means of assessing depression scale. The
paroxetine group, however, experienced only a 44.8% decrease.
Significantly, there were fewer adverse effects reported among
those taking hypericum than those in the paroxetine group.
