And I have never once gotten burned! It’s actually the opposite. My mom and I used to spend hours out on the rocks in San Francisco and we never got even a hint of redness or a burn... so there is no way anyone can convince me that St. John's Wort isn't great.
St. John's Wort—it soothes the skin, and you can even drink it as a tea because it calms everything down, like your nerves and your stomach.
And olive oil? Man, let me tell you, that is one of the best things nature ever gave us.
A dermatologist would probably just try to push some chemical cream on you because that's what's in it for them, not for me..
Anyway, you've gotta try stuff out. Everyone's skin is different, so you'll see what works best for you.
🙂 St. John's Wort prepared with olive oil using traditional methods (cold pressing) has been known since ancient times as a remedy for external cuts, burns, wound healing, and as an antiseptic—and internally, it's mostly used for liver and stomach pains, etc.
St. John's Wort oil is used either before tanning or later after tanning. It is not recommended to use it and then go out into the sun because it is phototoxic.
Your approach to treating psoriasis with fruits and vegetables is really solid, but I'm confused about which dermatologist would push Labolan cream (a chemical) on you.
I wouldn't recommend tanning with St. John's Wort to anyone; I only use it while staying in the shade.🙂
