Customer question:
Can St. John's wort oil be used against joint pain? Anonymous customer.
Pharmacist's answer:
Although St. John's wort (scientifically known as Hypericum Perforatum) may be best known for its positive effects on mental well-being, it also offers many other valuable properties that can be used in herbal medicine to treat a variety of symptoms and conditions.
The use of St. John's wort dates back more than 3000 years and is well known for its effective medicinal properties. St. John's wort oil also works well for localized pain such as sprains and cramps, sciatica, muscle and joint inflammation such as tennis elbow, post-operative neuralgia, and tingling in the fingers or feet.
St. John's wort oil can be an additive in many DIY (do it yourself) external applications, such as massage oils, creams, or lotions. In addition, it can be used regularly together with various oils such as olive oil, calendula oil, arnica oil, or castor oil.
Use of St. John's wort oil for joint care
Organic St. John's wort essential oil should be diluted 50:50 in arnica or calendula vegetable oil and then applied to the desired body area (in this case, the joints) where the pain occurs. For a faster effect, dilute 30 drops of organic St. John's wort essential oil in 10 mL of calendula oil.
Never apply St. John's wort extract and oils to the mucous membrane surface.
