Гиперикум

Hypericum

Hypericum is also better known as stag hay or St John's wort. This remedy is often used against insomnia or to combat depressive symptoms. Hypericum is a flower full of surprise and this is mainly due to its unusual life cycle. It starts out as a flower, but eventually ends up as a branch full of berries. At this stage of its life, the hypericum is ready to go into the vase. During flowering, you can recognise this flower by its golden yellow flowers. After this, berries grow on the branches in white or dark red. Hypericum originally comes from Turkey and Bulgaria, but it is now found throughout Europe.
