Balsam is known as St. John's wort in Ancient Greece, while in modern Greece it is known as balsam grass or sword grass. Contains hypericin and pseudo-hypericin, flavonoids (16% in the leaves), xanthones, phenolic acids and essential oils (0.13% in the whole plant). St. John's wort has been used in medicine since antiquity: Galinos and Dioscorides refer to it as a diuretic, healing, emmenagogue, hemostatic. In the United States, after a program on ABC News in June 1997, St. John's wort became the most popular plant, the alternative "prosose" (Ladose), for mild to moderate depression. It is also used as an antispasmodic and sleep quality enhancer in insomnia. Externally it is used after extracting the fresh plant in olive oil for many days (40 to 50) as an excellent healer in wounds and first degree burns.
