Collected on the Summer Solstice, our beautiful deep red St. John’s Wort tincture is made from fresh flowers and represents a powerful plant ally. Traditionally, St. John’s Wort has been used as a mood boost, specifically for helping with depression and anxiety. In my opinion as a professional certified herbalist, it works best when used for Seasonal Affective Disorder, which is something that a lot of us suffer from here in the PNW, when the sun rarely makes an appearance during the long winter months. St. John’s Wort can also be extremely beneficial for painful neuralgia and other types of nerve pain.

Additionally, St. John’s Wort has potent antiviral properties, making it a great herb to use when dealing with painful viral diseases, like shingles and herpes, especially when it is combined with lemon balm.

Directions: take 30-60 drops in a glass of water, juice, or tea, as needed. Do not exceed 3 times per day.

Ingredients: pure grain alcohol, potato alcohol, aqua, fresh St. John’s Wort flowers

Contraindications: St. John’s Wort is not recommended if you taking hormonal birth control, antibiotics, anti-depressant, and anxiety medications. Since St. John’s Wort has interactions with lots of prescription medications, please look up any medications before taking them together. May cause photosensitivity in some individuals.
