This colour comes from the pigment dianthrone, hypericine, found in the vacuoles located in petals and leaves. The oil, mentioned in the oldest herbalists’ texts, is traditionally used as a vulnerary and topical anti-inflammatory. Nicolas Culpeper (1616-1654) describes its use: « Outwardly, it is of great service in bruises, contusions, and wounds, especially in the nervous parts, (…) made into an ointment, it opens obstructions, dissolves swellings, and closes up the lips of wounds. »\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n      \u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cfont size=\"4\" face=\"Verdana\"\u003eAccording to many authors, the oil is also used for abrasions, inflammation, muscle pain, first-degree burns, hemorrhoids, vitiligo and neuralgia.\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n      \u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"4\" face=\"Verdana\"\u003eA. Vogel's St. John’s Wort Oil is prepared with the greatest care: the leaves and wilted flower heads are rejected and the time between harvest and extraction process is kept to a minimum. To prepare St. John’s Wort Oil, flower heads are macerated in sunflower oil for 6 weeks. The mixture is stirred once a week to make sure that the maximum amount of active ingredients (part used of the medicinal herb) is in contact with the solvent (sunflower oil). Finally, the mixture is pressed and filtered to obtain A.Vogel’s quality fine oil.\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n      \u003ch3\u003e\u003cfont face=\"Verdana\"\u003eActions and pharmacology\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\r\n      \u003cdiv class=\"accordionInnerBoxContent\"\u003e\r\n        \u003cp\u003e\u003cspan class=\"copytext\"\u003e\u003cfont size=\"4\" face=\"Verdana\"\u003eScientific literature confirms St. John’s Wort Oil’s topical vulnerary and anti-inflammatory effects. One study attributes these effects mostly to hypericin, pseudohypericin and hyperforin. This study also demonstrates an anti-inflammatory effect, which could be useful for inflammatory skin problems. In vitro, hyperforin has demonstrated an antifungal effect.\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n        \u003cp\u003e\u003cspan class=\"copytext\"\u003e\u003cfont size=\"4\" face=\"Verdana\"\u003eThe German Commission E acknowledges its benefits in cases of: treatment and post-therapy of acute and contused injuries, myalgia (muscle pain) and first-degree burns.\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n      \u003c\/div\u003e\r\n    \u003c\/div\u003e\r\n  \u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"A.VOGAL","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":34730570642,"sku":"4069","price":26.99,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0408\/7649\/files\/s4069.jpg?v=1699638814","url":"https:\/\/parisnaturalhealthfoods.ca\/products\/a-vogel-st-johns-wort-oil-100ml","provider":"Paris Natural Foods","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
