Is there any evidence that St John's Wort works for anxiety?

Chris - I can quote meta-analyses of randomised control trials of St. John's Wort for major depression suggest that it is superior to placebo and it's similarly effective compared with conventional anti-depressant drugs and tends to have fewer side effects. St. John's Wort being a way of actually making your mood elevate. So it's a sort of natural anti-depressant. Although they do say in placebo control trials, trials from German speaking countries tend to report more favourable findings. So I guess the jury is out on that one.
