Filtering an Olive Oil maceration of St. John's Wort, such an amazing plant to work with. So full of colour, depth in texture and medicinal properties, a must to have in the remedy collection.
Topically, St. John's Wort is traditionally used for its anti inflammatory and antibacterial properties.
I've seen incredible results when this macerated oil has been applied to minor burns and sun burn. Clients suffering with irritated skin and eczema have also had fast and lasting results.
I love using this in a massage oil mix for muscle and joint pain. One testimonial from an elderly gentleman using my mix was incredible, he was able to walk with out much pain in his legs after suffering from arthritis for such a long time! The same mix is also super popular with trekkers walking the GR10 path through The Pyrenees, they surely need a healing muscle massage oil!
St. John's Wort macerated oil is also known to have vulnerary properties, helping minor cuts and wound healing.
I regularly recommend this oil to massage sore areas caused by psoriasis.
I suggest using the oil in the evening, or just to stay away from direct intense sunshine, after immediate use, incase any issues of photosensitivity occur.
The flowers are collected in June, just in time for the summer equinox celebrations. Foraged from high mountain pastures, this oil is pure, high potency healing.
