St John’s Wort got its name because it flowers on June 24th, St John’s day. It has a long history, backed up by modern research, in the treatment of anxiety and depression. Hypericum, the herb contained within this cream is useful for treating bruises, burns, cuts and other wounds. It has also been used for bites and stings, and can be used for skin infections (if taking other medicines, inform your healthcare professional).  A good candidate for the holiday bag.
