RELEVANCE TO COVID & THE SHOT
Limits or prevents cytokine storms. Shikimic acid content aids serum removal from the body. Demonstrated to be ‘anti-viral’ though I would say ‘detoxifier’
ABOUT
This yellow flowered herb is a medium sized bush with unusual perforations in the leaves [84]. Thanks for the component Hypericum; it is mainly known for its treatment of anxiety and depression.
The anti-inflammatory properties of Hypericum and another component Hyperfine, have been found to not only limit or prevent cytokine storms, but to create long lasting resistance to them. Hence the potential damage to organ tissues by cytokine storms can be inhibited. [86]
A study from has shown that Hypericum act as strong anti-virals against Covid, though my take on that would be to attribute that to its detoxification ability. [85]
St Johns Wort also contains Shikimic Acid [87] which is well known now to be effective in removing certain pharmaceutical toxins from the body. Pine Needle, Star Anise and Fennel seem to be the top sources of Shikimic Acid, but this is a good one to add to the medicine cabinet also.
From an energetic perspective, St Johns Wort is cleansing for your energetic field, empowering, and offers psychic protection. The flower essence is used for psychological trauma and anxiety. [84]
CONTAINS
Flavonoids, Hypericum, Quercetin, Shikimic acid.
