Johanniskraut Tee is an herbal tea that contains Hypericum perforatum. It is traditionally used to support mood balance and may be considered for mild to moderate depressive symptoms, seasonal affective disorder, and occasional mild anxiety in adults.

The appropriate dose of Johanniskraut Tee is determined by the prescribing healthcare professional based on the individual’s condition, age, and overall health. Patients should follow the specific instructions provided by their clinician or pharmacist.

How does Johanniskraut Tee compare with other mood‑supporting herbs?+

What are the most serious risks associated with Johanniskraut Tee?+
The most serious risks include the potential for serotonin syndrome when combined with serotonergic drugs, severe photosensitivity reactions, and significant drug‑interaction effects due to enzyme induction, which can reduce the efficacy of several prescription medicines.
