Today, St. John's wort is one of the most frequently used in mild-to-moderate depression in Germany, and it seems destined to become just as popular in the US.

Other studies have shown that extracts of schizandra are stimulating to the central nervous system and are cholinergic. There have been numerous reports on schizandra's ability to quicken reflexes, increase work efficiency, control anger and combat neurasthenias (headaches, insomnia, dizziness, palpitations).
