St Johns Wort (Hypericum perforatum) is a beautiful yellow sunny flower that offers us many medicinal properties and is well known for its antidepressant and mood-lifting properties.  According to Salvatore Battaglia, studies have shown that hypericin (The principal active constituent of St Johns Wort) is a potent anti-viral drug, especially against enveloped viruses. The oil is an anti-inflammatory and used topically for:

• Mild burns
• Bruises
• Hemorrhoids
• Varicose veins
• Wounds
• Sores and Ulcers

It has also been used traditionally for nerve pain such as neuralgia and sciatica.

Our St Johns Wort oil is a triple Infused Organic Olive Oil made from fresh flowering tops and buds resulting in a beautiful rich red color.

Hypericin has been associated with photosensitivity and should not be used if going out into the sun.
