St. John's Wort has been used as an herbal remedy for its anti-inflammatory and healing properties since the Middle Ages. Many ancient herbalists, including Hippocrates and Pliny, recorded the medicinal properties of St. John's wort. It was especially noted for its wound-healing. In 1633, Gerard's Herbal recorded the plant's use as a balm for burns. The oil of the plant also was popular during this time. An olive oil extract was used and applied externally to relieve inflammation and promote healing.
St. John's Wort Oil contains Hyperforin which is responsible for its therapeutic properties. It aids in healing and recovery by withstanding and inhibiting bacterial and viral growth. An infused oil is a carrier oil that is infused to one or more herbs with an oil such as olive oil. Once this infusion has taken place the oil now carries the therapeutic properties of the plant
