Garden days in June & making St. John's wort oil

{Music: Between – Gideon Matthew + Flying – Gideon Matthew} Collecting flowers, making St. John's wort oil, tending the garden beds, lots of poppies, tea time & the first blooming zinnias. ––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––– St. John’s Wort Oil Collect fresh blossoms on a sunny day and let them wilt slightly for half a day. Place the flowers into a clean glass jar and press them down with a wooden spoon. Then pour a good-quality oil (olive oil or almond oil) over them until fully covered. Cover the jar with a light cloth and let it “breathe” for 3 to 4 days. After that, seal the jar properly and let it sit for 4 to 6 weeks in a bright place, but not in direct sunlight. Shake it regularly. After 4 to 6 weeks, strain the oil and pour it into a bottle. The most important areas of application of St. John’s wort oil: • dry and sensitive skin • neurodermatitis and skin inflammation • mood enhancement • acne and acne scars • wounds and scars • insect bites • burns • soothes the skin after sunburn • joint pain, muscle soreness, and muscle tension ☙
