What is St. Johns Wort Herb?

St. Johns Wort Herb (Hypericum perforatum L.) from Herba Organica is a wild-collected, carefully dried herb, hand-packed to preserve its natural colour, texture, and structure. It consists of carefully collected above-ground parts of the plant. Historically used across Europe, St. John’s Wort has been incorporated into everyday household infusions and simple herbal blends. Its natural, mild character makes it an accessible and versatile ingredient for those looking to continue traditional European herbal practices at home.

St. Johns Wort in European Tradition

St. Johns Wort Herb has been valued in European folk herbalism for centuries. The herb was traditionally harvested during flowering, dried, and stored for use throughout the year. It was prepared as simple infusions or decoctions, often combined with other wild-collected herbs to create mild, aromatic beverages.

Rural communities appreciated St. John’s Wort for its practicality. The dried herb could be easily stored, measured for daily infusions, or incorporated into mixed herbal blends. Its use was largely practical, forming part of routine herbal preparations rather than ceremonial or specialist practices. Over time, it became a familiar and trusted component of household herbal routines and daily infusions.
