Hypericum (St John's wort) Flower Essence

$22.00

St John's Wort (Hypericum perforatum), sometimes known as St. Joan’s wort, is a herb that could be considered to have conquered almost every continent. A member of the Hypericaceae family, Hypericum is known for its distinctive yellow, five-petaled flowers that bloom around the Summer Solstice, and its perforated leaves dotted with oil glands that both produce an intense red colour with extraction. Australian environmentalists will know Hypericum to be highly invasive and a plant that they may have battled with when attempting to promote smaller native undergrowth.

Hypericum is renowned for assisting with the symptomatic ease of melancholia, low mood or Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD), wounds, musculoskeletal injuries, neuralgia, spasms, and viral flares (e.g., Herpes Simplex virus). It’s safe to say Hypericum is a protective and remedial herb for psychical and emotional wounds.

The botanical name, Hypericum, is derived from the Greek word hyperieum, meaning “over an apparition”, which could be interpreted to to represent the old belief that malicious entities were repulsed by this herb, leaving the plant and the wearer alone.

Hypericum is traditionally burned in Midsummer (Litha) festival bonfires, with the fresh flowers brought into the home on Midsummer Day to protect the house from malicious entities or energies, fires, and other misfortunes.

Hypericum’s perforated leaf is a symbolic signature for the ability to allow light to pass through, in turn bringing light into the shadow it may cast otherwise.

The flower essence of Hypericum is made through solar infusion where the flower’s vibration is imprinted within the water’s energetic matrix. This 15mL bottle is technically a stock bottle, meaning you can further dilute the stock essence to make dosage bottles [read more on Flower Essences, including their method of action, how to use them & how to make up a dosage bottle]. Each stock bottle contains 7 drops of the original mother essence of Hypericum.

The virtues of Hypericum can be obtained through ingesting the essence, anointing talismans and candles, and adding a few drops to a room spray or floor wash.

WHAT ARE FLOWER ESSENCES?

Flower essences are considered to be a form of vibrational medicine containing the energetic imprint of a flower within the matrix of water, as opposed to herbal extracts which contain active constituents that often have a potent effect on the physical body.

Flower essences are believed to have therapeutic properties that can support emotional and spiritual wellbeing. They are often used as a complementary therapy for support through trialling times in life, especially in cases of dis-ease which may or may not be presenting in the physical body yet are rooted in the spiritual & emotional psyche and your electromagnetic field, making them sometimes harder to shift with biologically acting interventions.

It is commonly thought that flower essences act in a similar way to homeopathic preparations. Whilst this is not entirely untrue, it is a complex topic to unravel. In short, a major difference is homeopathic preparations are prepared via more complex methods and are diluted and potentised 200-fold, meaning homeopathic preparations require more skill and attuned application compared to flower essences which can be safely self-chosen & self-administered without causing detrimental imbalances.

Each stock flower essence can be diluted further (instructions on making your Dosage Bottles are on your info-card included with your shipment), and you can adjust your dose amount & frequency however you see fit.

PLEASE NOTE: Our stock flower essences DO contain alcohol. When using in drop doses, the amount of alcohol is insignificant (less than is present in a ripe banana), however if you cannot tolerate the smell or are allergic to distilled grape alcohol please avoid use.
