What is LaDrome St. John's Wort Fresh Plant Extract used for?
St. John’s wort, or St. John’s herb, blooms at the summer solstice. The small, golden-yellow flowers leave a red stain on your fingers when squeezed and have a distinctive scent. The leaves appear to be perforated with “a thousand holes,” hence its Latin name. St. John’s Wort oil, obtained by macerating the flowers and flowering tops in a vegetable oil, has a beautiful red color and is known to soothe sunburn, moisturize the skin, and relieve back pain.
The main active ingredient in St. John’s wort is hypericin. Hypericin gives St. John’s wort a regulating and soothing effect on the nervous system and an antispasmodic effect on the intestines. LaDrome St. John’s Wort Fresh Plant Extracts 100 ml is recommended to combat low moods and mild depression, negative thoughts, and a lack of mental energy and motivation. It can also be used to soothe and relieve digestive spasms, cramps, and similar symptoms.

- Photosensitivity: St . John’s wort may make the skin more sensitive to the sun, leading to photosensitivity reactions such as redness, itching, and rashes. It is therefore strongly recommended to avoid prolonged sun exposure while using this product.
