Traditionally its petals were gathered in midsummer to be used in herbal medicine, and now the entire plant is used. When making tinctures or oils out of St. Johns Wort you will be surprised with a deeply rich, red colour that comes from one of its medicinally active compounds, hypericin. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: Georgia;\"\u003eThis plant has been used for centuries for its antidepressant action, and it is also considered antibacterial, anti-inflammatory, antiviral, anti parasitic, and has pain-relieving properties!
