Question:

Why does it say on the St John's Wort bottle that a person taking the herb should stay away from sunlight?

And, do they mean intense sunlight for long period of time, or a person taking the herb should stay away from sunlight as much as they can? What will happen if a person is exposed to lots of sunlight while taking St john's wart?


Answers:

It makes you sensitive to the sun, and you get sunburn. This also includes tanning beds, or other lighting units that are made to tan the skin. You can be severely burned in just a few minutes of tanning, care should definitely be taken.
