St John's Wort has been the subject of tremendous research since the confirmation of its anti-depressant properties. St John's Wort Hydrosol has also shown some uplifting qualities. It has shown to be very effective in cases of asthenia and seasonal affective disorder, (SAD), according to Suzanne Catty. Catty suggests keeping a glass of water with Saint John's Wort Hydrosol in it beside your bed. Drink it upon rising in the morning in the winter; by the time you've had your shower you'll feel great!
