The human body is a complex and fascinating system, and the search for natural remedies has been a long-standing pursuit.

The authors provide a comprehensive overview of the available research on SJW, examining its potential benefits and risks.

The Promise of St. John's Wort

St. John's wort has long been used to treat a range of conditions, including depression, menopausal symptoms, and skin conditions. However, the authors note that the evidence for its effectiveness in treating male sexual and reproductive health issues is limited and inconclusive.
