St. John's Wort Infused Oil

St. John's Wort is a plant with yellow flowers that is scientifically known as Hypericum perforatum. Initially found in Europe, this plant has spread to various regions across the globe, including the Americas, Asia, and the Middle East.

St. John's Wort has long been recognized for its mood-elevating properties and is a natural for dealing with situations of depression, Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD), and pre-menstrual syndrome (PMS). However, aside from these benefits, the infused oil of St. John's Wort has various other medicinal properties due to its high levels of antioxidants and strong anti-inflammatory benefits.

This versatile infused oil can be applied topically to aid in reducing redness and inflammation on sunburned skin. It can also help soothe discomfort on sensitive skin and aid in the relief of back pain by plumping up the intervertebral discs of the spine when applied to the lower back. Additionally, St. John's Wort is very effective in diminishing bruises and in wound care. It can be mixed with Helichrysum italicum to augment its beneficial properties, making it useful with skin contusions, sores, and varicose veins.

Our St. John's Wort infused oil is made by macerating fresh flowers in organic virgin olive oil. This process results in a dark red-colored oil with an herbaceous and slightly spicy aroma. The oil's aroma is similar to that of olive oil but with a sprinkling of fresh, fruity floral notes that help to round off the pleasantly scented oil. It is applicable to most blends and formulas, making it a versatile addition to any skincare routine.
