Guest guest Posted March 6, 2005 Report Share Posted March 6, 2005 Hi All - I bought some Hypericum at the flower mart the other day, also labeled " Green Condor " - there is a picture here>> http://www.bloemewinkel.be/content/detail.aspx?ID=155 Is this good for anything herbal (since it is St Johns Wort - at least of some kind)? Or should I just toss it now that it has dried out? TIA - Ivy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted March 7, 2005 Report Share Posted March 7, 2005 Ivy, I wouldn't bother treating St John's wort as something rare! It is a prolific weed, even a noxious weed in some places. The last few years we have seen quite a spread of it here. Plant some and harvest it if you want to play with it herbally.

Guest guest Posted March 7, 2005 Report Share Posted March 7, 2005 Ien - Unfortunately, New Mexico, where I live, is one of the few states in the US where it is said not to grow, at least natively. I suppose I could grow some, but since I had this bunch, I thought I'd try to make something out of it : - )).

Guest guest Posted March 7, 2005 Report Share Posted March 7, 2005 There are actually lots of places St Johns does not grow in the wild. I wish they grew in all the places I have lived in the US because the infused oil is wonderful for aches and pains. I used quite a bit during the birth of my last babe. It was wonderful. I also make natural alternative to vicks with st johns as one of the ingredients and so many customers come back becuase it is such a help. I am partial to this herb and have had the experience of NOT being able to find it growing wild. <sigh> , " Ivy Fasko " <isf@c...> wrote: > Ien - > > Unfortunately, New Mexico, where I live, is one of the few states in the US > where it is said not to grow, at least natively.
