By Lindsay Sheehan St. John’s wort (Hypericum perforatum) is a flowering perennial plant native to Europe and Asia. With opposite oblong leaves that are light green in color, St. John’s wort is so named due to its yellow flowers coming into bloom on June 24, the birthday of John the Baptist. The foliage is dotted with small translucent specks that make the leaves appear perforated when held up to light, which is why it is also sometimes referred to as perforate St. John’s wort. Its use in herbal medicine dates back to ancient Greece, where it was prescribed to treat
