St. John's Wort Tincture
St. John’s Wort is probably best known as being “for depression.” While this is not an untrue characterization, I think it’s a bit of a reductive explanation of this incredible plant’s capacity.
St. John’s is a distinctly solar herb. it’s not hard to see he has been historically associated with the Sun in folklore, herbalism, and astrology. The bright yellow of his flowers can only be described as “sunny.” This is how St. John’s acts on depression in the body, by bringing in sunlight to a gloomy and dark state of mind. This capacity obviously comes in very handy during the dark winter months, when many of us suffer from seasonal depression. Working consistently with St. John’s during the dark of winter can dispel this darkness and bring in the sunshine.
St. John’s Wort is also well-known as an herb to use caution around if you are already taking prescription medications. This is because of his incredible capacity to support healthy liver function. Many of us have sluggish, overburdened livers due to simply living in the toxicity of the modern world, and St. John’s helps our livers to work better to properly address this burden. But if you are taking prescription drugs that you don’t want your liver to process out quickly, you may want to consider other less stimulating herbs to support your liver, such as dandelion or burdock root.
Ingredients: Wildcrafted CT St. John’s Wort leaf and flower, vodka
