I grow my own. It has come out the most vibrant red!! it’s beautiful. My question is, when used in a salve is it as potent as the oil used alone? Especially for nerve pain. I always worry that it depleats the potency when made into a balm or salve or a cream??
Many thanks 🙏🌼

Yes, it is more of a brown with a hint of red when using dried St. John’s wort.

I recently infused dried St. John’s Wort in olive oil but the oil didn’t turn red. The herb was from Mountain Rose, so I am confident that it is good. Do you have any insight into why it didn’t turn red? Is it because it was dried, maybe? Thanks for your help and for sharing your herbal wisdom!

Hi Rache, the topical use of the oil does not affect your medication use

Could you elaborate? Specifically anti depressants and blood pressure medications
