ARTEMIS St John's Wort Remedies: What makes them special

I admit it: there is hardly any other plant that can make my heart sing like St John's Wort. I just love the look of its cheerful yellow flowers smiling at the sun, its smell of happiness, its taste of vitality and of course it's wonderful warming and energising effect. So every year I organise a gathering party, where a group of herb loving people wander along the unpolluted areas of Central Otago and gather this little treasure for you. I couldnt think of a better way of spending a holiday!

At ARTEMIS Herbal Medicine, we harvest St John's Wort plants by hand at the right time of the season, when the flowers are at their peak potency. We pick the flower heads one by one so that we only gather the healthiest and strongest plants. We take great care to harvest these wildcrafted herbs in a sustainable manner: there are always enough plants left for propagation and the insects. For the traditional fresh-plant tincture and herb-infused oil that is made with St John's Wort, we process these little treasures straight away for maximum therapeutic potency. For our therapeutic herbal tea, also made purely from St John's Wort, we gently dry the harvested herbs in a natural way in order to preserve the therapeutic properties of the herb. This guarantees that you will enjoy a cup of ARTEMIS tea of unsurpassed quality and therapeutic effectiveness.

Internally taken as a tincture, St John's Wort forms an important part of the nerve and tissue mending properties of a tissue repairing tinture. Furthermore, St John's Wort processed into a luxurious oil is liquid sunshine indeed!
