Screw St. John's Wort Honestly - Tumblr Posts

⚠️TW!! SUI@IDAL THOUGHTS AND DEPRESSION MENTIONED!⚠️

St. John's Wort is something I have personal experience with. When I was 13-14, my parents gave it to me as a daily supplement, telling me it would prevent depression. Months later I was in a behavioral health facility for severe depression and suicidal ideation. It got to the point I nearly hung myself. Please, for the love of all that's good, BE CAREFUL WITH THINGS LIKE THAT! Just because it's a 'natural supplement' doesn't mean it's safe.

This is your friendly reminder that herbs aren't inherently safe.

Natural doesn't mean Safe.

Lightning is natural. Opium, therefore heroin and opiate drugs are derived from poppies. Cinnamon oil will burn your skin. Lilies are toxic to cats and will cause organ failure. Activated charcoal will neutralize your prescription medications and literally anything else in your system. St. John's Wort will destroy your serotonin production and mess with your happiness threshold if it DOESNT KILL YOU FIRST.

So anyway.

Do some damn good research every time you go to eat, breathe, bring around your pets, bathe in, or smoke something. Be safe please.
