Each summer, we carefully wild-harvest St. John’s Wort right here in Colorado. We then sun-infuse the vibrant flowers in organic olive oil, creating a rich, red, healing oil that's great for all kinds of wounds, pain, and skin irritations.
These are a few things it can help with:
Burns (sunburns, radiation burns, cooking burns), insect bites, nerve pain, cuts, bruises, sprains, minor wounds and slow-healing wounds, ulcers, aching feet, muscle aches, joint pain, stiffness, and any kind of skin irritation like eczema, dermatitis, rashes, herpes lesions, low back pain, whiplash, and rheumatism. You can even apply it around the outer ear to ease infection pain.

Many of you may be familiar with taking St. John’s Wort internally for conditions like depression, anxiety, menopause, and ADHD. However, this powerful herb is also an incredibly healing oil when applied topically. St. John’s Wort oil is fantastic for a variety of skin issues. It’s anti-inflammatory, antimicrobial, antioxidant, antispasmodic, and antiviral, making it effective in healing wounds, preventing infection, and offering pain relief. It’s an excellent choice for massage, not only benefiting the skin but also helping massage therapists keep their hands healthy and not overly fatigued.
This oil soothes and protects the skin while promoting skin cell regeneration. It’s ideal for dry, damaged, irritated, or aging skin, as well as for dry, flaky acne or red, itchy areas. It also supports collagen regeneration, making it a great option for reducing the appearance of scars and stretch marks.
What sets St. John’s Wort apart from other herbal oils is its ability to alleviate nerve pain. While arnica oil is the go-to for general pain relief, St. John’s Wort is the top choice for nerve pain. It’s especially effective for conditions like sciatica, carpal tunnel, neuralgia, shooting nerve pain, numbness, tingling, pinched nerves, and shingles.
Unlike its internal use, the external application of St. John’s Wort has no contraindications, is gentle enough for sensitive skin, and is safe for everyone and all ages.
