While completing some recent study I was intrigued to come across some startling information about St John’s Wort. While this is a prescribed weed in Western Australia and we are unable to grow it locally it is revered at Moon Haven as a very special herb that assists with nerve and muscle pain. The study I came across found that a topical application of St John’s Wort as an infused oil was similar in effect to the use of topical anti-inflammatory type gels which include indomethacin and the like[1] While we always knew that St Johns Wort was great for injured and strained muscles it is fantastic to see the scientific community is finally investigating the why’s and wherefore’s. We use St John’s Wort in several of our products but most notably in our infamous Achy Breaky Rub.
