The Many Wonders of St. John’s Wort
You can be sure it’s summertime when you see these bright yellow St. John’s Wort flowers growing like weeds along the sidewalk, in sun-drenched meadows, and in gardens all around. The leaves and flowers of this plant are well-known for their use as a popular antidepressant when prepared as a tea or tincture and taken internally, but I get most excited about Saint John’s Wort for its topical uses.
When infused into oil or made into a salve, St. John’s Wort, Hypericum perforatum, is an anti-inflammatory and wound-healing agent, is wonderful for burns, and may even work as a sunscreen.
