Legend has it that if this plant is hung on doors or windows on St. John's birthday, it will keep away ghosts and devils for a year. In the Middle Ages, the Crusaders used the famous red oil of St. John's Wort (Hypericum Perforatum) to heal their battle wounds.
Modern research has confirmed the antibacterial qualities of Hypericum Perforatum oil and found that it can be used to prevent age spots and to soften the skin.
Hypericum Perforatum is considered an antidepressant and astringent, so it has been used to treat insomnia, anemia, and nervous disorders, as well as to heal wounds, bruises, swellings, and skin irritations. It has also been boiled into a tea and drunk to help overcome bedwetting.
Hypericum Perforatum Flower/Leaf Extract is a light to medium amber liquid with a characteristic odor. St. John's Wort tops extract is used in creams, lotions, moisturizers, astringents, toners, after-sun products, skin ointments and treatment products, and bath care products.Synonyms
