Folklore:St. John's wort.:

This herb was named "hypericum" from the Greek meaning 'over an apparition' referring to the herb's ability to be so obnoxious that a mere whiff would cause evil spirits to flee. St. John's Wort is used in all pulmonary complaints, bladder trouble, dysentery, worms, diarrhea, depression, jaundice and cancer. It can be found in the herbals of Gerard (1597), Hill (1751), Withering (1796) and the Eclectics.

 A number of Hypericum species were used by Amerindian tribes. Records of the use of H. perforatum are known for the Cherokee, Iroquois and the Montagnais. All these tribes seemed to have used the plant as a febrifuge/cough medicine however, the Cherokee made very broad use of the plant.
