Hypericum perforatum
ST JOHN'S WORT
Hypericum perforatum (St John's Wort) is reknowned for its legendary magical properties.
The genus "Hypericum" is from the Greek hyper (above) and eikon (picture), which may have been given since the flowers were once placed above religious images and doorways to ward off evil.
In modern times however, St John's Wort is receiving serious attention and scientific substantiation for its usefulness in the relief of depression symptoms.
The small yellow flowers of St John's Wort release a healing, antioxidant-rich, red-pigmented essence when infused in various liquids, such as oil or alcohol.
