Demon Chaser 🌼

Long before pharmacies and Prozac, monks in stone-walled monasteries tended a humble yellow flower in their gardens.

They called it fuga daemonum — Latin for “demon chaser.”

When villagers came burdened by despair, heavy moods, or what was thought to be possession, the monks brewed this blossom into tea. And something remarkable happened: the shadows lifted, spirits lightened.

They believed they were driving out evil.

In truth, they were easing depression.

That flower was St. John’s Wort.

For over two millennia, it’s been used to support mental and emotional health. Modern research confirms what the monks intuited: clinical trials show St. John’s Wort can be as effective as common antidepressants for mild to moderate depression — sometimes with fewer side effects.

But here’s the twist most people miss:

This “demon chaser” is powerful, and power comes with risk.

- It revs up liver enzymes, flushing certain medications before they can do their job.

- Birth control pills? Documented cases of reduced effectiveness.

- Antidepressants? Dangerous serotonin overload if combined.

- Blood thinners, heart meds, immunosuppressants — all can be disrupted.

The monks were right: St. John’s Wort can ease the darkness.

But modern wisdom reminds us: it must be used with care.
