St. John's Wort (Hypericum perforatum): a cosmopolitan perennial with a striking identity
St. John's Wort is a herbaceous perennial in the family Hypericaceae, with a natural range spanning Europe, central Asia, and northern Africa. Its bright yellow five-petalled flowers typically bloom around midsummer, traditionally around 24 June, the feast day of St. John the Baptist, which is where the common name comes from. Hold a leaf to the light and you'll see the small translucent perforations that give the species its Latin epithet, perforatum. The aerial parts, primarily the flowering tops and leaves, have a long history of traditional use across many cultures. This product contains 20g of dried herb.
Preparing St. John's Wort as an infusion
The dried herb is well suited to infusion. Add the herb to hot water and allow it to steep. The dried format keeps well and makes it straightforward to prepare a consistent cup. No specialist equipment is needed, a standard infuser or teapot works fine. If you're new to herbal infusions, start with a small amount and adjust from there.
Advisory Information
Not suitable for persons under 18. Insufficient data on use during pregnancy and breastfeeding. Consult a health professional when using medication, or if suffering from an illness or health complaint.
St. John's Wort has documented interactions with a wide range of prescription medicines, including antifungals, antivirals, chemotherapy agents, sedatives, and antidepressants. It may reduce or enhance the effect of these medicines. Use with caution alongside any prescription treatment. St. John's Wort may also increase sensitivity to sunlight, raising the risk of sunburn or skin damage. Reported adverse effects include dizziness, diarrhoea, and anxiety.
St. John's Wort takes 150 C, in the middle band of the vape herbs range. Passionflower runs slightly cooler at 145 C, and Wild Lettuce is the other traditional European leaf here, both worth reading up on before you use them.
