Description
St Johns Wort oil is a member of the Hypericaceae family. This oil has a sweet, grassy aroma with floral notes. It is classed as a middle note and blends well with earthy, minty and woodsy oils.
St John's Wort calms inflamed skin concerns, alleviates nerve pain, and aids wound healing. As many ailments involving nerve pain are not easily treated allopathically, St Johns may be of possible use.
Essential oils can be applied topically once diluted with a carrier oil. They are widely used in cosmetic goods and handmade crafts.
