We prepare our St. John's Wort Oil from fresh (undried) flowering & budding tops of Hypericum perforatum plants, which are Sustainably Wildcrafted in their natural wild habitat. To assure optimal extraction of St. John's Wort's rich red pigments, the uppermost tops of the plants are hand-harvested, and then are extracted, while still fresh & succulent, into Certified Organically Grown, cold-pressed Olive Oil. FOR EXTERNAL USE ONLY.
