CERES St. John's Wort mother tincture

CERES St. John's Wort mother tincture is a low-dose herbal medicinal product (phytopharmaceutical) developed by Ceres Heilmittel AG, derived from the fresh flowering tops of *Hypericum perforatum*. Unlike high-dose dry extracts, this mother tincture is prepared using a specialized pharmaceutical process that aims to preserve the plant's essential oils and complex biochemical profile. It is primarily indicated for the treatment of mild to moderate major depressive disorder, as well as associated symptoms like anxiety and restlessness. The drug's therapeutic effect is attributed to the synergistic action of its constituents, such as hypericin and hyperforin, which function as non-selective reuptake inhibitors of monoamine neurotransmitters, thereby increasing the synaptic availability of serotonin, norepinephrine, and dopamine.
