Folklore, Tradition & Etymology
St John’s wort takes its name from St John the Baptist, as the plant traditionally flowers around the feast of St John in late June. The word “wort” comes from an Old English term meaning plant or herb. Across European herbal tradition, St John’s wort was closely associated with midsummer, sunlight and protection, and its bright yellow flowers made it a plant of warmth, vitality and seasonal ritual. Over time, the flowers were infused into oils and other preparations, becoming part of a long-standing tradition of practical household herbal care.
