St. John's Wort Herbal Loose Tea

St. John’s Wort Loose Tea

Mildly bitter, earthy, and subtly floral, St. John’s Wort tea has a distinctive herbal flavor with a slightly astringent finish. St. John’s Wort has a long history of traditional use and has been studied for its potential effects on mood and other conditions.

Best Preparation: Add 1 teaspoon of dried St. John’s Wort to a cup of hot water. Steep for 5–10 minutes, then strain and enjoy warm. Because St. John’s Wort can interact with many medications—including antidepressants, birth-control pills, blood thinners, and certain heart, cancer, HIV, and transplant medicines—it is important to consult a healthcare professional before consuming it if you take medication. 

Important: St. John’s Wort can also increase sensitivity to sunlight and is generally not recommended during pregnancy or breastfeeding without medical guidance.
