How Is St. John’s Wort Oil Made?

First, the St. John’s wort plant—together with its flowers and stems—is thoroughly washed and dried. Once dry, the plant is broken into pieces and placed into a glass jar. The jar should be filled, but the plant material should not be compressed. While breaking the plant apart, scissors or knives should not be used; instead, it should be separated by hand.

Pure olive oil is then poured over the plant material until it is completely covered. The mouth of the jar is covered with gauze, cheesecloth, or a clean thin fabric—the lid is not closed at this stage. To allow the yellow St. John’s wort to release its essence into the olive oil, the jar is left in the sun for 5 days.

After 5 days, the lid is closed to prevent air contact, and the jar is left in the sun for 40–45 days. During this period, the oil gradually turns red as the plant infuses into the olive oil. The jar should be gently turned upside down from time to time to help mix the contents.

At the end of the process, the red-colored oil is strained and transferred into a dark-colored bottle, then stored in a place away from sunlight. Since it is homemade and contains no additives, its shelf life is relatively long.

Consult a specialist before use.

Benefits of Aloe Vera Oil in Body Care;
The 12 Most Important Benefits of Aloe Vera

Aloe Vera Is Rich in Vitamins and Minerals:
Aloe vera massage contains many vitamins such as A, C, E, folic acid, choline, B1, B2, B3 (niacin), and B6. Aloe vera is also one of the few plants that contains vitamin B12. Among the 20 minerals found in aloe vera are calcium, magnesium, zinc, chromium, selenium, sodium, iron, potassium, copper, and manganese.

Aloe Vera Is Rich in Amino Acids and Fatty Acids:
Amino acids are the building blocks of protein. The human body requires approximately 22 amino acids, of which 8 are essential. Aloe vera is estimated to contain all 8 essential amino acids and a total of 18–20 amino acids. Aloe also contains an impressive range of fatty acids and includes three important plant sterols:

  • HCL cholesterol (helps reduce blood fats),

  • Campesterol, and

  • Beta-sitosterol.
    These help reduce allergy symptoms and acid indigestion. Other fatty acids present include linoleic, linolenic, myristic, caprylic, oleic, palmitic, and stearic acids.

Aloe Vera Is an Adaptogen:
Aloe vera is a well-known adaptogen—substances that enhance the body’s natural ability to adapt to external changes and resist illness. As an adaptogen, aloe is believed to balance body systems and stimulate defense and adaptive mechanisms, increasing resilience against physical, emotional, and environmental stress (such as pollution).

Aloe Aids Digestion:
Poor digestion is linked to many illnesses. A properly functioning digestive system is fundamental to health. Aloe is known to soothe and cleanse the digestive tract and help improve digestion. Because it is an adaptogen, internal use of aloe can help regulate elimination cycles—supporting both constipation and diarrhea. It has been helpful for people with irritable bowel syndrome and acid reflux. Aloe also helps reduce harmful bacteria and maintain healthy gut flora. Additionally, aloe acts as an anthelmintic, helping eliminate intestinal worms.

Aloe Helps Detoxification:
Aloe vera is a gelatinous plant food, similar to seaweed and chia seeds. Gelatinous plant foods help absorb toxins along the intestinal tract and eliminate them through the colon, supporting proper waste removal and overall detoxification.

Aloe Alkalizes the Body:
Disease cannot thrive in an alkaline environment. Many people consume predominantly acidic foods. For optimal health, remember the 80/20 rule—80% alkaline-forming foods and 20% acidic. Aloe vera is an alkaline-forming food and helps balance overly acidic dietary habits.

Heart and Vascular Health:
Research suggests that aloe vera extract can significantly enhance the oxygen-carrying and diffusion capacity of red blood cells. A study published in the British Medical Journal (2000) reported that beta-sitosterol helps lower cholesterol. By regulating blood pressure, improving circulation and oxidation, lowering cholesterol, and reducing blood viscosity, aloe vera juice may help reduce the risk of heart disease.

Aloe Helps Strengthen the Immune System:
Given daily life stressors, strengthening immunity is beneficial for everyone. Polysaccharides in aloe vera juice stimulate macrophages, white blood cells that fight viruses. Aloe is an immune booster due to its high antioxidant content, which combats free radicals associated with aging. Aloe also has antipyretic properties, helping reduce or prevent fever.

Aloe Vera Is Excellent for the Skin:
Because of its well-known healing properties, aloe is a primary ingredient in cosmetics. It is vulnerary (supports wound healing) and is excellent for topical use on burns, abrasions, psoriasis, and insect bites. Aloe acts as an analgesic, helping relieve pain from wounds. Applying chilled aloe to sunburned skin provides immediate soothing relief. Aloe is also antipruritic, helping relieve itching, and astringent, reducing minor bleeding. With over 99% water content, aloe deeply hydrates and rejuvenates the skin, increases elasticity by supporting collagen and elastin repair, softens and soothes the skin, improves oxygenation of skin cells, and enhances blood flow via capillary dilation.

Active Components of Aloe Vera:
Aloe’s active compounds—sulfur, lupeol, salicylic acid, cinnamic acid, urea nitrogen, and phenols—work together to provide antimicrobial activity, inhibiting disease-causing microorganisms and helping eliminate internal and external infections. Aloe also aids in treating fungal and viral infections.

Aloe Helps Reduce Inflammation:
Aloe vera contains 12 compounds, including beta-sitosterol, that help slow or inhibit inflammation. This can ease joint pain caused by stiffness and help improve joint flexibility.

May Help with Weight Loss:
Improved digestion and detoxification can have a secondary effect of promoting weight loss. As digestion becomes more efficient, elimination improves—the primary pathway for detoxification—reducing toxic load and increasing energy levels.
