St. John’s Wort is a sun-loving herb that has long been cherished for its radiant yellow flowers that bloom around the summer solstice, a time associated with light triumphing over darkness. Named after St. John the Baptist, whose feast day is near its peak bloom (June 24th), this herb carries the warmth and brightness of midsummer in every petal. It has been used across cultures for centuries, both as a protective charm and as a soothing remedy for the body and spirit.
