Hypericum perforatum essential oil for medicinal use

Hypericum perforatum essential oil is derived from the dried flowers of the St. John's wort plant, known for its bright yellow color and distinctive dotted appearance.

This essential oil is widely used in herbalism for its potential antidepressant and anxiolytic properties, often supporting mood regulation and emotional well-being. It is typically diluted with a carrier oil before topical application or used in aromatherapy to promote relaxation and reduce stress. In traditional medicine, it has also been employed to address mild skin conditions and support nerve health.

However, it should be used with caution due to potential interactions with medications and its phototoxic nature.
