Traditional Uses of St. John's Wort
St. John's Wort, a stalky perennial with golden yellow flowers, is native to
Europe but now found throughout NorthAmerica. Its petals are peppered with translucent
black dots, which will turn your fingers red if you rub them; it is this red
pigment that is believed to contain most of the beneficial constituents. St.
John's Wort is named for its deep red pigment, which was believed to represent
the blood of John the Baptist.
St. John's Wort, or Hypericum perforatum, has been valued by diverse cultures
as far back as the Middle Ages for its ability to support a positive outlook
and a sense of well-being. Now modern consumers are experiencing the same benefits
from this renowned herb.
