The active ingredients are many: essential oil, bitter tannins, hyperforin and hypericin. It is used in traditional medicine due to its phytotherapeutic properties, in particular its antidepressant and antiviral properties. It relieves nervous disorders, cures inflammation of the bronchi, urinary system and in general of all abdominal organs.

The flowering tops called “Herba Hyperici” are harvested during the summer.<\/span><\/p>\n light<\/p>\n It does not require special care as it is a very rustic species.<\/p>\n from full sun to partial shade<\/p>\n It grows well in most common soils (except heavy clay) and prefers sandy loam with good drainage. A slightly acidic soil is ideal. It tolerates barren soil and drought, but if the soil can’t drain water well, waterlogging can cause the roots to rot.<\/p>\n pH 5,5 \u2013 7,0<\/p>\n It is present throughout the Italian territory.<\/p>\n poor, it also tolerates long periods of drought<\/p>\n occurs by sowing or by cutting, taken in May-June<\/p>\n does not require much pruning. To promote more lush growth, cut 1\/5-1\/4 of the total branch length by late spring or early summer, encouraging new branch growth<\/p>\n Rust is the only disease that can affect the plant, which is simply treatable with specific medicines. If affected, the plant presents leaves with small yellow or orange spots and slows its growth.<\/p>\n The specific epithet perforatum<\/strong> derives from the fact that the leaflets, when held against the light, appear pitted, an effect due to translucent glands also present in the sepals and petals. However, there are many common and vulgar names. The most common is St. John’s Wort. This epithet is linked to the fact that the maximum flowering occurs around June 24th, the anniversary of Saint John. The name red oil herb is due to the color of the exudate released by the flowers, rich in the active ingredient hypericin.<\/p>\n The term “devil buster”, widely used in past centuries, derives from the fact that this herb consecrated to St. John and with its multiple therapeutic properties, was believed to be effective against all types of evil, going so far as to hang it over icons to drive away evil spirits.<\/p>\n It grows along the edges of roads, at the edges of fields, in dry pastures and does not disdain old walls.<\/p>\n It is one of the symbols of the summer solstice<\/p>\n for centuries it has been considered a magical herb generally protective against ghosts, lightning and witchcraft. The Latins considered it one of the sunniest plants existing in nature.
