The yellow flowers of Saint John’s Wort (Hypericum perforatum) grow wild in abundance.

There is only one species of Saint John’s Wort that has tiny, dark red spots underneath its small, pointy petals that will temporarily stain your fingers red if you touch them.

The beautiful red color will result when oil infused with St. John’s Wort is infused with these same small dots. Inflammations, sore muscles, and sore muscles respond well to the oil’s healing properties. In addition to general instructions on making infused oils, the topic includes specific instructions on making them.

A wide variety of meadows, forests, and sandy soil conditions are ideal for the growth of St. John’s Wort in the northern hemisphere. For depression, nervous distress, and nerve pain, you can cut, dry, grind, capsule, and take the top 6 inches or so of the flowers, stems, and leaves daily.

Tea made from the dried herb is also beneficial to nervous disorders when consumed three times a day. In northern U.S. climates, this herb blooms about two weeks after St. John’s Day, which occurs on June 24th in England and Scotland.

There can be a lot of growth with St. John’s Wort, which is often described as another pesky plant. In studies, St. John’s Wort is found to cause sun sensitivity in grazing cattle, but only when the herb is consumed in excessive amounts. Neither humans nor animals have shown this problem.

When mixed with certain pharmaceuticals, Saint John’s Wort can cause serious health issues, which is why caution should be taken when taking this medicine.

All of these herbs should be taken in consultation with your healthcare practitioner. Drug interactions will not occur when St. John’s Wort is applied externally, such as in infused oils applied directly to burns or applied to the skin as oil for pain relief.
