The medicinal use of St. John's wort dates back at least 2,400 years; known in the Middle Ages to ward off melancholy , St. John's wort was also called "St John's Wort". It is renowned as an anti-depressant but it is above all a mood stabilizer which will increase "the reuptake of serotonin, dopamine and norepinephrine", hormones of good humor. The flowering tops contain flavonoids or phenolic compounds including hyperforin, the main antidepressant active ingredient, and hypericin, a red pigment with anti-inflammatory, healing, analgesic and antiretroviral properties as well as quercetin, an antioxidant and anti-inflammatory used among other things to reduce the inflammatory reaction due to allergies. It is also an anti-inflammatory, antispasmodic, muscle relaxant and nerve tonic.
 
 • For depression, burnout, stress and chronic fatigue, mood swings, anxiety, etc.
 • Its anti-inflammatory, antispasmodic, muscle relaxant and nerve tonic action makes it an excellent ally for great athletes.
 • Antiviral specific to herpes, varicella and shingles viruses, considerably reduces the duration and pain of eruptions.

• Medicinal: Hypericum Perforatum (St. John's Wort) farm fresh flowers and tops 1:2.
• Non-medicinal: alcohol, spring water.
☞ The complete process for making tinctures is done by a certified herbalist, from harvest to bottling.

☞ All our tinctures are made from medicinal plants grown on our farm and carefully selected during our harvests, always done by hand. We harvest the St. John's Wort flowers when they are about to bloom, freshly picked the same day from our herbal medicine gardens, when they are at their full potential .

☞ The plants are then spread out on grids and inspected a second time before being infused in small batches for a long period of several weeks in an alcohol appropriate for the plant and stored in a cool, dark room. When the right moment is right, we double filter the plants, but we do not use a micro-filter, thus letting interesting but slightly larger molecules pass, such as resins, polysaccharides, etc. The result: a product full of active ingredients with a few small deposits!

☞ Behind every dye pot there is a lot of sunshine, clean and fresh air, irrigation from the sky or by human intervention as well as a passionate thunder team that puts a lot of energy from the first seed in the ground to the month of February, to the thousands of small seedlings transplanted in the greenhouse all spring, to the big harvests and the arduous weeding under the radiant sun of the summer months, until the gardens close during the cold autumn months to prepare them to be reborn again next spring, reminding us that everything has a cycle.
