Isn't it supposed to be good for migraine or something?

No personal experience, however, don't dismiss herbal remedies - after all, that's what aspirin was until someone worked out that salicylic acid was the active ingredient in the willow bark that everyone used to fix headaches and stuff.

[sensible] One thing about it… it can be dangerous when mixed with other medications… you should rally check with your GP before taking it. [/sensible]

Step 1: Buy cheap ticket to Cyprus
Step 2: Have a week in the sun away from normal routine - you can still access the 'pub'.
Step 3: return home fully refreshed

St John's Wort works for some but MUST NOT be mixed with prescribed medications as the combo can lead to suicidal thoughts and actions. I have a mate who tried this and the results were not pleasant. Taken on its own St. J's W can be very helpful in some cases.

Didn't work for me, waste of time. And I do generally believe in the herbal stuff so it does normally work for me.
Plus I think I remember reading somewhere that it was in someway connected with cataracts or something eye related anyway. It also negates the contraceptive pill, but then that won't be something that is bothering you!
