St. John's Wort Oil 

Also Known As – Hypericum perforatum, Perforated bush, Hypericum, and Klamath weed.

Origin - Elbe, Washington

Overview - St Johns Wort is a small plant with yellow flowers native to Europe. Its common name refers to St. John's Day, which is June 24 and the usual time of year when the flowers are ready for harvest. This herb has been introduced to many other places in the world, and has been labeled as a noxious weed in many places. It can cause severe side effects in livestock that eat it like photosensitization, depression of the central nervous system, spontaneous abortion and death. This herb is also grown commercially in Europe. Use of St. John's wort as medicine dates all the way back to ancient Greece. Historically, it has also been used as an abortifacient.

We prepare our St. John's Wort Oil from fresh (un-dried) flowering & budding tops of Hypericum perforatum plants, which are Sustainably Wild-crafted in their natural wild habitat along side of the Nisqually River at the Base of Mt.
