St John's wort oil
St John's wort (Hypericum perforatum) infused in virgin olive oil.
The perennial St. John's wort plant is an oil-rich plant whose leaves are densely covered with oil glands and its branched, woody stems swathed with the plant's five-rayed golden yellow flowers.
The St. John’s wort oil contains a distinct characteristic: when the flowers are rubbed between the fingers, it stains them a blood red.
St John's wort oil has antibacterial and anti-inflammatory action, allowing the soothing and strengthening of the skin which can help speed the healing of wounds, bruises, varicose veins, sunburns, bee stings, and mild burns. Frequently used as a breast massage oil especially after radiation treatments.
