St. John's Wort oil can be used to restore skin in cases of minor superficial wounds, abrasions, or irritated skin after sun exposure. It is a very ancient traditional medicine that supports blood circulation and relieves water retention. St. John's Wort oil may cause photosensitivity reactions. Do not expose treated skin to intense light, sunlight, or a tanning bed (for 24 hours after use). Directions for use: As a massage oil or cosmetic for facial and body use. Pure or with Physalis essential oils. This oil is also used for edible purposes.
