St. John’s wort can relieve the pain and itch of shingles for some people.

St. Johns Wort is one herb to be careful with. Yes it can help with feelings of depression as a natural mood enhancer, but it can also have the opposite effect or no effect at all. Depression is hormone related and if it can be treated by herbs that is great however if you are not feeling any better then you need to seek medical attention. Shingles? You need to go to a doctor.

There are better herbs for “tonic’ effects. Often people do feel better on it–they may have had a low-grade depression and not realized it. others, who don’t need it, find it makes them more irritable. So, your choice!
