Hello friends, today I prepared a St. John's Wort infusion for 5 o'clock Tea with Jessica :
What is St. John's Wort and what is it used for?
This herb is widely used to make medicines using its flowers and leaves. St. John's Wort infusion originates in Europe, although it is also found in roadsides and dry forests in the United States and Canada. Australia produces 20% of the world's supply, even though this herb doesn't originate there and for many years they didn't consider it important.
St. John's wort has been used for health since the time of the Greeks, and was so named because it blooms around June 24, the birthday of John the Baptist.
How to prepare St. John's Wort infusion
To prepare an infusion, just one or two teaspoons of the herb are enough. Pour it into boiling water and let it steep for five to ten minutes. You can drink two to three cups of this infusion daily to treat mild to moderate depression.
What are the healing properties of St. John's Wort?
St. John's wort is one of the most important herbal antidepressants today, as it reduces anxiety and aids sleep, and has been proven to be as effective as medications for depression. Research has shown that it improves menopausal symptoms and aids wound healing.
Is St. John's Wort safe to use?
St. John's wort is safe for short-term use, and it's not a problem for children. However, it's not recommended for pregnant or breastfeeding women, people with fertility problems, or those trying to conceive, and especially people who are about to undergo surgery.
