St John’s Wort Oil
St. John’s Wort oil is an herbal oil that is made by steeping the flowers of the St John’s Wort plant (Hypericum perforatum) in a carrier oil, such as olive oil or sunflower oil.
The oil is believed to have anti-inflammatory and analgesic properties, and has been used traditionally to treat various skin conditions, including burns, wounds, bruises, and hemorrhoids.
St John’s Wort oil is typically made by filling a jar with freshly picked St. John’s Wort flowers and covering them with a carrier oil.
The jar is then left to steep in a warm, dark place for several weeks, during which time the oil absorbs the active compounds from the flowers.
After steeping, the oil is strained to remove the flowers and bottled for use.
It is important to note that St. John’s Wort oil can cause photosensitivity in some people, which means that it can make the skin more sensitive to sunlight.
For this reason, it is recommended to avoid using the oil on sunburned skin or before prolonged exposure to sunlight.
It is also important to consult with a healthcare professional before using St. John’s Wort oil, especially if you are taking medications or have a medical condition.
Directions for use:
Apply St John’s Wort Oil sparingly to the affected area.
For external use only. Avoid sunlight after application. Please seek medical advice if pregnant.
