ST. JOHN'S WORT Klamath Weed
Description:
Recommended for External Use Only
Herbs are not elevated to sainthood lightly by herbalists, but
this one has been. Those who craved, in desperation, the intervention
of a saint to ease their sufferings, found it in this plant. Hence,
its true name, St. John's Wort. Wort is an old English name for
plants.
Bell's Palsey can strike swiftly. When Bell's Palsey (inflammation
of the trigeminal, try'-gem-a-nul, nerve) strikes, one side of
the face may become paralyzed and the face horribly distorted.
Often, the eye may have to be taped shut to avoid it drying out
and an ulcer forming on the eye. A person could easily experience
terror upon seeing their face in the mirror in such a state. Sometimes
this paralysis is permanent if help is not given. St. John's Wort
renders its mercy to the sufferer.
For those with very sensitive skin, first apply very gently Vitamin
E from 100 i.u. capsules to the same area. Then, very gently
so as not to further irritate the face nerves, apply St. John's
Wort to both sides of the face from the ear over the entire area
out to the tip of the nose. Apply 10 to 20 drops to both sides
of the face several times per day, and additionally, any time
the face starts to hurt. Relief follows swiftly. Do not get in
the eye.
Additionally, St. John's Wort is a blessing
of great magnitude for the following conditions: bed wetting,
pain in the coccyx, (cock'-siks or tailbone), nerve problems of
all sorts including: neuralgia (burning nerves), "shaking
sickness," tics and tremors, concussions of the brain, stiff
neck, bruises, bunions, corns, fractures, disturbed sleep, depression,
swollen breasts, hand tremors, anxiety attacks, suppressed urine
or pus, bronchitis, bleeding of the lungs, to regulate the period,
strains and sprains, lower back pain, worms, mucus congesting
the head, and diarrhea.
As an aside, when farm animals develop "white spots"
which become sensitive to light or sore with eruptions, put them
in a dark place out of the sun and paint the affected area with
Vitamin E from 100 i.u. capsules and
then apply a diluted solution of 10 drops of St John's Wort to
one cup of water three times per day. The animal will recover
swiftly. Be kind when you do this, and speak reassuringly to the
animal.
Dose: For external use, apply generously, three
to four times per day. Precede with Vitamin
E from 100 i.u. capsules capsules if very sensitive skin.
If "Bells Palsey" is a problem, then also take 80 drops
of Rice Bran three times per day internally, and hourly, very
gently apply Arnica to remove the physical trauma; then apply
Herbal Adj. (Adjustment) to improve circulation to the area. Avoid
contact with eyes.
When used internally, take 20 to 40 drops three times per day
after meals and additionally as needed for relief.
Before purchasing for internal use, please carefully read the
St. John's Wort warning. Consider NSP's Chinese
Mood Elevator as an alternative product for depression.
