Nice...

About st. john's wort, try this recipe if you want and have some more and it is fresh enough. Put some in a glass vase like this, and then fill it with olive oil and leave it in a fairly hot and dry place for 40 days (not under the sun, it is bad for the olive oil). After these 40 days you will strain it. You will get a red oil. You can use it for wounds, it is great, and also you can drink it, excellent for the stomach and more, two shots are enough usually. I remind you not to expose the skin to the sun if you apply it on a wound, for cosmetic reasons.

I know olive oil is expensive there, but i don't know if other oils are suitable. Maybe they are. It is olive oil we have here, so...

Thank you! 🙏🏼 I wanted to do this. I don’t know if I can do this with dried flower, can I? Or I’d grab some olive oil and use fresh flower. Olive oil might be the best!

Maybe you can with more dried flower. If it is like the one in the vase, i think you can. If you observe well the flowers they have some tiny red dots. This is what we want from this plant. And this is the reason the oil becomes red. I think you should try. If the oil becomes red, then it is a success 👍. You could use a small vase to gain the knowledge for next year... And of course it is absolutely normal to try various things. That's what we do in general, right?

It’s still blooming, so I still have a chance! 0.75l olive oil costs about 20€ if I also care for some quality. So I think it’s okay for having a selfmade natural end product. I have no „go to“ olive oil brand by now.

I could try it with dried flower too, yes! Yes I found the red dots 🌼👀

I truly realised its power when a dog bite one of our goats. We applied this oil to the terrible wound and the wound disappeared after just a few days, like the goat had Hollywood super hero healing powers. It was amazing...
