OIL OF HYPERICUM - ST. JOHNSWORT MASSAGE & BODY OIL

Lakon Herbals Oil of Hypericum is prepared from St. Johnswort, fLemon Balm, Lavender and essential oils of Lavender and Helichrysum.

Oil of Hypericum, also known as Oleum Hyperici (U.S. Pharmacopoeia, 1932) or Red Oil has been employed for decades as a treatment for bruises, sprains, nerve pain, and more.

Early documentation of St. Johnsworts healing properties can be found in Gerard's Herbal (1633) where the herb is recommended as a treatment for wounds, burns, and for alleviating pain in the coccyx. Later, the British Herbalist Maude Grieve wrote of St. Johnswort as a treatment for nervous depression, for peaceful sleep, as a general resolvent, and for liver and heart conditions (1931).

Lemon Balm

Lemon Balm
(Melissa Officinalis)

"There are some botanicals that have a greater influence when the whole plant is used. Lemon Balm (Melissa officinalis) is one of those miraculous plants. For decades the essential oil industry has tried to find an economical way to extract the extremely volatile essential oil from the Lemon Balm leaves. However, the end result remains economically prohibitive, out pricing even rose and St. Johnswort essential oils. To obtain the benefits of this wonderful plant we use the fresh leaves picked when the oil content is at its highest and infuse it directly into warm virgin olive oil.
