Thank you to everyone who participated in June's Name that Remedy post on Instagram. Please visit us on Instagram @homeopathycanada for next month's edition! The remedy for the Month of June was Hypericum (St. John's Wort). Here's what some of our community had to say about their experiences with this wonderful remedy.

"Oh the irony. I’m having some nerve pain and just took hypericum this morning! I’ve also used it with great results for pain from a toenail that was ripped off."
@cecileshomeopathy
"Hypericum, Recently I used after leg surgery, she didn’t need any other pain killers "
@hannah.shalom
"Hypericum! - primarily used for depression, also rheumatism, gastroenteritis, headaches and neuralgia. In a nutshell- there is a lot more to that remedy ;)"
@howewell
"Looks like Hypericum to me. I have used it to help treat injuries related to the nerves with shooting pains of the back and legs."
@beholistic.co

"Hypericum (St John's wort)!! Amazing remedy. Recently used after dental surgery for nerve pain in conjunction with other remedies. Definitely a remedy in my first aid kit!"
@andrea.deal
"One of my favorite ways to use hypericum is diluted in water and applied externally for a burn. It is an incredible pain-reliever and can prevent blistering after a burn."
@intero_wellness
"Hypericum! St John's wort. I especially like to use it in acute situations where there has been injury to nerve rich parts like fingers or where there has been a puncture injury. Always have it in my kit "
@laura.a.glover
"I had a friend recently with crippling back pain. She knew it was a nerve from past experience. I gave her hypericum and it got her mobile."

As its colour also suggests Hypericum has been used as a liver remedy as well! Although we think of Gelsemium first, hypericum can be a great remedy to help restore liver function!"
