Traditional Use
St. John's Wort oil has been valued for centuries in European herbalism as a versatile botanical oil.
Inner Balance and Digestion
Traditionally, St. John's Wort oil is used as a herbal supplement to support general well-being, harmonious digestion, and inner balance.
Especially during periods of tension or increased stress, St. John's Wort is associated with calmness and emotional equilibrium in historical plant lore.
Care for Sensitive and Stressed Skin
As Red Oil, St. John's Wort oil is traditionally used for intensive care of dry, irritated, or heavily stressed skin.
It is particularly suitable for:
- local care of dry skin areas
- soothing rubs
- regenerating care applications
- calming body massages
- care of sensitive skin and mucous membrane areas
Massage and Regeneration
In massages, the oil is traditionally used as a warming and relaxing care oil. It can be applied precisely to stressed areas of the body and massaged in slowly.
Modern Research
St. John's Wort contains various secondary plant compounds, including hypericin, hyperforin, flavonoids, and tannins. These compounds are scientifically investigated, among other things, in connection with antioxidant processes, skin care, and plant-based regulatory mechanisms.
When used externally, the nourishing and regenerating effect of the oily macerate is primarily in focus. However, no guaranteed treatment results can be derived from this for specific medical applications.
Recommended Use
For internal use:
Take 1 teaspoon 3 times daily before meals.
For external care:
Apply a small amount to the desired skin area and gently massage in.
For massages, the oil can be spread more generously and slowly worked into the skin.
Shake lightly before use.

St. John's Wort can increase the skin's sensitivity to light. Avoid direct and intense sun exposure after external application.
If regularly taking medication, professional advice should be sought before use, as St. John's Wort can cause interactions with medicines.
Use during pregnancy and breastfeeding only after consulting a doctor.
Do not use if there is a known hypersensitivity to St. John's Wort or any other ingredient.
