Hypericum perforatum also known as St. John’s wort had many components that have been proved to be biologically active. A double blind controlled experimental study tried to highlight the effect of Hypericum perforatum tea preparation on rat male sex hormones and testicular histology. Twenty-five male rats had been divided in to 3 experimental groups each group had 7 rats, exposed to 3 different dose concentration for each group. The control group was 4 rats that exposed to the same feeding and environmental conditions of the other groups. Hypericum perforatum tea was prepared and diluted to a dose of 3,6, and 9 cc/kg per day. Each dose was given to one experimental group for one month with water supply. There was a noticeable increment in testosterone, LH,FSH, and decrement in male estrogen, and thyroid function levels in comparism between experiment groups and control group, as well there was histological changes that could promise to use Hypericum perforatum in treatment of male infertility.
