Our St. John’s Wort tincture (Hypericum perforatum L.) is prepared from fresh wild tops with flower buds, hand-picked during midsummer bloom — the time when the plant’s vivid golden blossoms color the landscape with light. These flowering tops are carefully foraged from sun-exposed forest edges and wild clearings, where Hypericum naturally thrives. Extraction is carried out using high-purity food-grade alcohol and purified water, resulting in a full-strength mother tincture of approximately 60 % vol alcohol. This small-batch process preserves the rich, characteristic color, aroma, and natural complexity of the plant.

Hypericum perforatum, widely known as St. John’s Wort or Midsummer Herb, has been revered in European folk traditions for centuries. Across the Baltic and Nordic regions, it was often gathered during the summer solstice as a symbol of light, warmth, and protection. In folklore, its bright flowers represented the sun’s energy at its peak.

Within Traditional European and herbal philosophy, St. John’s Wort is viewed as a warming and uplifting plant, associated with harmony and balance. Its presence in midsummer rituals connects it deeply to renewal and inner strength.
