Description

St. John's Wort is a flowering plant that has been used medicinally since ancient Greece. It is best known for its use in treating mild to moderate depression, where clinical evidence supports its efficacy comparable to some conventional antidepressants. It is named for its traditional harvest on St. John's Day.

Stinging nettle is a nutrient-rich plant found throughout temperate regions worldwide. Despite its stinging hairs, it has been used medicinally for thousands of years across European and Native American traditions. The leaves, roots, and seeds each have distinct medicinal applications.
