St. John's Wort Herb & Flower is helpful when we've soured on life, are joyless and find ourselves moving mechanically and unresponsively through our days. When our outlook is cold and dark, the bright yellow flowers of this herb can introduce a little sunshine in our lives by helping us move through our melancholy and into a better frame of mind. Particularly beneficial for those who grieve the loss of warmth and light during the Winter season.
This herb assists the liver in processing toxins; normalizes the acid level in the stomach; encourages appetite; and strengthens gut-level instincts when they are weak.
