Origin Details:
Our St. John’s Wort Herb is sustainably wild-harvested or cultivated in clean fields across Eastern Europe and North America. The flowering tops are picked in full bloom—typically around midsummer, close to St. John’s Day—then gently dried to preserve their color and active compounds, including hypericin and flavonoids.
 
Note:
 
Caution: St. John’s Wort may interact with certain medications, including antidepressants, birth control pills, and blood thinners. Always consult a qualified healthcare provider before use.
