Description
St John’s Wort C/S, also known as Amber, Blessed, Devil’s Scourage, God’s Wonder Herb, Grace of God, Goatweed, Hypericum, and Klamath Weed.
The dried leaves and twigs from St John’s Wort C/S are widely used in drinkable teas for the benefit of stomach disorders, diarrhea, depression, bladder problems and to expel threadworms. When applied to the skin, it’s said that St. John’s Wort assists with the healing of burns, scar tissue and helps to shrink hemorrhoidal tissue. Since this herb is naturally anti-inflammatory, it can be worked into any formulation designed to combat skin inflammation such as bug bite creams, etc.
To make a drinkable “tea” or to infuse this herb for skin use, simply add 1 teaspoon of the dried plant matter to 1 cup of distilled water. Once it reaches boiling point, remove the pan immediately from the heat source and allow to simmer (covered), for 5 to 10 minutes. Strain off the juice and use it to replace your water content in healing lotions, medicinal sprays, or salves.
Caution! It may cause hypersensitivity to sunlight when used in beauty care products, so it’s not recommended to add to sunscreens or to wear in direct sunlight for prolonged amounts of time.
INCI: Hypericum perforatum (St. Johns Wort)
