The use of St. John’s Wort dates back to Ancient Greece. It has been used for various medical purposes, such as skin care, hair care, and digestive health for centuries. One of its benefits is relieving inflammation and protecting the damaged tissues without impairing their vitality and with no fluid retention. Facilitates the recovery and healing of the epidermis, helping treat skin issues and irritations caused by psoriasis, wounds, acne scars, mild burns, blackheads, and bruises.

The rich compounds in St. John's wort oil nourish and soothe dry, irritated, or damaged skin, making it a traditional remedy for eczema and dermatitis. John's Wort oil is believed to help reduce symptoms of menopause, such as hot flashes, vaginal dryness, sleep disturbances, anxiety, and depression, which occur due to decreased estrogen production during this challenging period for women.

Dispersing vital energy and dissipating accumulated tension and stress, St. John’s wort oil is also an efficient antidepressant. This oil is mostly applied through massage, but it can be added to creams, ointments, moisturizers, and natural medicines.

Germacrene and Caryophyllene are in the composition of soothing oils such as lemon balm oil, for example. The terpene β-caryophyllene helps calm anxiety and depression.

Thanks to the active ingredient hypericin with a gentle antidepressant effect, the oil improves mood. Research has found that St. John’s wort’s antidepressant properties are due to inhibiting the reabsorption of serotonin, which is how most pharmaceutical antidepressants work.
