Saint John’s Wort Infused Oil

SJW is an excellent pain-relieving herb, especially where nerves or nerve damage is concerned. As an infused oil, use as a topical application to damaged or sensitive nerves, neuralgia, sciatica, scabies rash, herpes sores. It’s also really lovely to apply to sore and aching joints and muscles. Try it after a hot shower. So relaxing, it often puts you to sleep, it just feels so nourishing. Wonderfully soothing for burns and light to mildly sun burnt skin. This oil is also of particular benefit to infected wounds.

Collected at the peak of summer from dry hillsides scattered with kangaroos, these lovely little blooms are infused in raw local olive oil in the sun for 6 weeks. The warmth causes the flowers to release their lush goodness into the oil and the resulting red liquid is gorgeous, lovely and so calming.
