Hypericum (Hypericum Perfomatum) – St. John’s Wort 20g

St. John’s wort, also called “hypericum” or “scacciadiavoli”, is a plant with yellow flowers that some people, at first glance, might mistake for a common wild weed. It is a plant that has been used for centuries as a mood-boosting herb.

ST. JOHN’S WORT

Hypericum or St. John’s wort (Hypericum perforatum) is a perennial plant. It takes its name from St. John the Baptist, due to its flowering around June 24, the day of the saint’s birth.

This plant grows naturally in every corner of the world. In agriculture, it is considered a boring weed. This is because it grows wild, dominates and replaces native vegetation and is also potentially toxic to livestock if ingested in large quantities.
