SEASONAL PRODUCT - Harvested on the Summer Solstice

120ml - 4 oz

High quality pure St. John’s Wort Oil (Hypericum perforatum) is one of my favourite herbal oils. It is a rich ruby red oil that has so many amazing benefits. It is an amazing oil to help calm the nervous system, melt away stress, and relief tension held in the body.

It is helpful for aches and pains throughout the body and is a specific go to for painful nerve conditions such as sciatica, TMJ tension, and any injury that may be affecting the nerves.

It is also a powerful anti-viral plant when taken internally but externally as an oil it is a wonderful remedy for recurrent cold sores and shingles, both of which are viral infections that affect the nerve endings.

It is also an amazing vulnerary (wound/skin healing) herb. It can be used to heal cuts, scrapes, and bruises. It also as an amazing affinity for burns of all kinds, including sunburns. Applied topically throughout the summer it can help protect us from the harshness of the sun, however, it is not a substitute for sun screen.

St John’s Wort is a solar plant, blooming on the summer solstice. It invites the energy and warmth of the sun into our being and helps us integrate these teachings into our lives. It nourished the solar plexus and helps us to build inner strength that radiates outward, like the sun, helping us feel protected and stronger from the inside out.

I harvest St John’s Wort fresh on the Summer solstice when the energy is at its peak in the flowers tops of the plant. I make only a small batch of oil for the entire season, so supplies are limited until the following year. This is a high quality oil extraction which is shelf stable. I choose to use organic sunflower oil to match the solar energies of these plants. Sunflower oil is also a great carrier for plant extracts and is a relatively small oil molecule making it easier for the skin to absorb.
