St. John’s Wort Size: 4 oz Bag (Latin Name: Hypericum perforatum)(Also known as: Sun Herb, Wound Wort, The Light Bringer) Brief History & Origin St. John’s Wort is the Herb of Light, Protection, and Emotional Renewal, named for its traditional harvest time near the summer solstice and St. John’s Day (June 24th). For centuries, it has been used by European folk healers, Indigenous medicine keepers, and spiritual herbalists to chase away the darkness—both in the body and in the soul. In herbal medicine, St. John’s Wort is known for lifting depression, healing nerve pain, and soothing emotional wounds. Spiritually, it’s a solar herb, bringing the sun’s energy into the mind and heart, dissolving shadows of grief, sadness, and psychic attack. In rootwork, it has been burned and carried as a protection charm to ward off evil and invite spiritual light.
