St. John's Wort Tea is an herbal tea made from the dried leaves, flowers, and stems of the Hypericum perforatum plant. This plant has been used for centuries for its potential health benefits, especially in supporting mental well-being.

 

Appearance & Flavor:
St. John's Wort tea has a golden-yellow color, often with a slightly greenish tint. The flavour is mild, earthy, and somewhat herbaceous, with a subtle bitterness and a hint of floral notes. Some people describe it as having a slightly astringent taste, especially when brewed strong.

 

Traditionally used for:

  • Mood Support: St. John's Wort is best known for its potential to alleviate symptoms of mild to moderate depression. The compounds in the herb, like hypericin and hyperforin, are believed to influence neurotransmitters such as serotonin and dopamine, which regulate mood and emotions.
  • Anxiety Relief: The tea may also help with anxiety and stress, providing a calming, soothing effect.
  • Antioxidant Properties: The tea contains antioxidants, which may help protect cells from damage caused by free radicals.
  • Anti-inflammatory Effects: St. John's Wort has mild anti-inflammatory properties, which may assist in reducing mild inflammation in the body.

 

Cautions:
While it is generally considered safe in moderate amounts, St. John's Wort can interact with certain medications, such as antidepressants, birth control pills, and anticoagulants. It is important to consult a healthcare provider before using St. John's Wort, especially if you are on prescription medication. Not suitable for pregnant or breastfeeding individuals.

 

Brewing Instructions:
To make St. John's Wort tea, steep 1–2 teaspoons of dried herb in a cup of boiling water for about 5-10 minutes. You can add honey or lemon to enhance the flavor if desired. It can be enjoyed hot or iced.

 

Overall, St. John's Wort tea is a natural, gentle way to support mental health and promote relaxation, but as with any herb, it’s wise to use it with awareness of its potential effects.
