St. Johns wort (Hypericum perforatum) is a perennial plant indigenous to Europe. It is named for its tendency to flower and be harvested around the 24th of June which is St. Johns day. Traditionally the plant was used to ward off evil - it was hung over religious icons round the house on St. Johns day. Whilst the St. Johns wort plant is seen by many as beautiful and graces many ornamental gardens, it is also viewed as a noxious weed that is toxic in pasture land in many countries where it has been introduced. St Johns wort is greatly cherished for its therapeutic benefits.
The oil is used to make the lesser known topical remedy of St. Johns wort Oil. Through painstaking research and cultivation, our gardeners identified a species of Hypericum high in active agents and resistant to disease. The oil is made from hand picked buds after the plant has finished flowering.
