Medicinal Weeds: St Johnswort, a treat during the long days of summer

You may know it as a remedy for depression, but it also is the herb to heal nerves. I put these flowers as they start to bloom in olive oil and leave them in the sun for 2 weeks. The oil should turn red. Use it to treat skin conditions like eczema or damaged nerves. I once knew someone who had lost his voice due to damage to the nerves connected to his vocal cords. A Doctor had told him he would never speak normally again. I had been studying the medicinal properties of herbs, but was finally in an herbal apprenticeship. I gave him St. Johnswort oil to rub on his neck and hypericum-homeopathic St Johnswort. Within 2 days his voice was better and within a week his problem was completely resolved.
