Size:16 Ounce Hepericum perforatum’, ” is one of many species known commonly
as St John’s Wort, and is the species most commonly associated with herbal
medicine. It is native to Europe but has since been naturalized to other
temperate climates around the world, with particular prominence in North
America. The plant is a creeping perennial, producing star-shaped yellow
flowers containing long, abundant stamens. St John’s Wort is traditionally
harvested near the beginning of the flowering cycle on St John’s Day, which
falls annually on June 24th. The flowers continue blooming throughout the
summer and may be freely harvested throughout the season.” , “Considered a
holy herb, St John’s Wort was employed for a number of folkloric uses during
the Middle Ages. It was once believed that the herb helped to protect people
from curses, demons, and lightning.” , “In contrast to its many uses, some
countries have identified St John’s Wort as an invasive species and noxious
weed. Though useful to humans, it can be dangerous to livestock, sprouting up
in pastures and causing photosensitivity to the grazing animals that feed upon
it. Ingestion of the plant may lead to health complications and even death.” ,
“St. John’s wort helps promotes a healthy mood and emotional balance.”
