St John’s Wort has everything to do with light. It protects from fear of the dark, disturbing spiritual encounters and nightmares. With its botanical name meaning to be “over a spirit”, it gives its user courage to face darkness and stand in their given spiritual authority. It creates an inner illumination, and is especially indicated when there is a lack of sunlight, vitamin D deficiency, SAD, depression or just a sense of gloom. It also is indicated for those who are overly sensitive to light and heat, such as being prone to sunburn, and histamine flares.
