St. John's wort oil is used for bruises and is an anti-inflammatory. St. John's wort oil has antiphlogistic qualities, in other words, it helps to reduce inflammation. Externally it is applied to bruises, sprains or skin irritations.

This is not a new herbal treatment, but one that has been handed down for hundreds of years. Once known to pharmacists as 'red oil' or 'Hypericum liniment,' it was still available in pharmacies in the early twentieth century. The practice of soaking the flowers in olive oil, infusing the oil in the sun, then using the oil internally as a diuretic and external application for wounds dates at least to the time of the first edition of Gerarde's Herball (1597). Avena's quality St John's Wort oil is infused using sunflower oil.
