Saint Johnswort is as acclaimed as Arnica for emotional trauma. It was adored by Greek master herbalists Hippocrates, Theophrastus, Dioscordes, Galen, and Swiss physician Paracelsus to serve the nerves.
It is a saintly topical tonic to address the duress of skin tone and texture. Synergize sesquiterpene rich Saint Johnswort into skin salves to soften the appearance of scars, blemishes, and imbalances.
Inhale this aroma and feel its penetrating pleasantry travel from your nose to your brain where these molecules will rain.
“The essential oil of Saint Johnswort is as gentle as the lore of this plant. The oil is deeply penetrating and more volatile than other essential oils. It is precious and rare.
