St John's Wort -
Wild-Grown Full-Spectrum Extract Sun-Infused in Extra-Virgin Olive Oil, 90 capsules, (Flora)
St. John’s wort is a yellow-flowering perennial plant that grows wild in many parts of the world. It was named after St. John the Baptist because it is usually in full bloom by the time of the Feast Day of St. John, June 24. “Wort” is the Old English word for "plant." Flora’s St. John’s wort supplements are wild-crafted from flowers grown exclusively in the mountains of southern Greece.
ASSISTS WITH:- Mild depression & stress
Fatigue
- Wound healing (topically)
For centuries, the Greeks have referred to the plant as “basalmo” or “healing balm.” In traditional herbalism, the use of the plant dates back at least 2,500 years. Hippocrates, the ancient Greek physician, is known to have recommended St. John’s wort for "nervous unrest." In the Western world, Hippocrates (460 B.C. – 370 B.C.) is considered the founder of the medical profession.
Throughout the history of folk medicine, St. John’s wort has been regarded as a mild anti-depressant. Among its many traditional applications, it has been used topically to treat injuries to the skin. Today, in many European countries, St. John’s wort is routinely prescribed by physicians for mild depression, fatigue and sleeplessness.
USEFUL FOR:- Alleviating mild depression and stress
- Relieving restlessness due to overwork, tiredness and fatigue
- Treating minor inflammation of the skin, blunt injuries, wounds and burns, when applied topically
Flora uses the time-honored natural methods of producing St. John’s wort extract, without chemicals or solvents. The mature golden flowers of wild St. John's Wort plants are harvested manually in the mornings, and are submersed that day in extra virgin olive oil, cold-pressed from certified organic olives. This mixture, sealed in glass jars, is then potentized in the intense Mediterranean sun for several weeks. It is this slow, painstaking process alone which maximizes the extraction into the oil of the full spectrum of active ingredients found in St. John's wort such as hypericin, hyperforin, rutin and quercetin, natural antioxidant.
SUGGESTED USAGE
Take 3 to 5 capsules per day with liquid, or as advised by a qualified health care practitioner.
CAUTIONS/CONTRAINDICATIONS: Keep out of the reach of children. St. John’s wort is not to be used by children unless recommended by a physician. It is not recommended for those with chronic immunodeficiency illnesses.
Women who are pregnant or currently lactating should not take this supplement. Also, patients that are bi-polar or manic-depressive should not view St. John’s wort as a possible remedy for their depression. It is advisable not to use alcoholic beverages while taking this product.
For some people, this plant may cause photosensitivity, so patients ingesting it should try to avoid direct sunlight, tanning beds or other strong UV lights.
