The bright red St. John's Wort oil is traditionally made from the fresh flowers of St. John's Wort (Hypericum perforatum) in extra virgin olive oil. This wild plant, which grows up to 90 cm tall, is found primarily in sunny locations from June onwards. It is named "red oil" due to its intense red color.

It is a wonderful care oil for skin problems and for a warming massage. The oil is said to have anti-inflammatory, wound-healing, and nerve-calming properties. Applied externally, it can care for dry and sensitive skin, relieve back problems, and muscle and joint pain. A massage with Casida St. John's Wort red oil is truly beneficial. The warming effect reaches the muscles and joints and brings noticeable relaxation.

The classic Breuss massage, named after the naturopath Rudolf Breuss, also relies on the effects of St. John's wort red oil. It is a special massage technique used specifically for back pain and especially for intervertebral disc problems. To stimulate the supply and regeneration of the intervertebral discs, areas of the back are treated with St. John's wort oil and heat. In addition, fluids are administered to the body in the form of a drinking cure to harmonize fluid balance and replenish stores. Even though not all of Rudolf Breuss's assumptions are scientifically sound today, the massage technique named after him has nevertheless proven effective.

Note: St. John's wort can increase the skin's photosensitivity when used internally, for example, as a tablet or capsule.

The Effects of a Massage

Massages, as well as the touch and manipulation of tissue structures with the hands, are among the oldest healing methods. Most people have already experienced the soothing or healing effects of a massage.

Massages not only have a positive effect on the body, but also on the psyche. The effect extends from the treated body part through the entire organism to the vegetative-psychological level. Not only can local discomfort be alleviated, but body and soul can also be brought back into balance.

The release of muscle tension and stiffness, the relief of chronic pain, and the improvement of blood circulation and lymph flow are widely known positive effects. Furthermore, the stimuli of massage can also contribute to psychological relaxation and stimulate the body's self-healing powers. This affects the immune system, wound healing, and sleep. During a massage, the body releases the hormones oxytocin and endorphins, which promote positive emotions and reduce stress.

When should you not have a massage?

There are certain medical conditions in which massage should be avoided. These include:

• Thrombosis, acute stroke, or heart attack
• Acute inflammation (symptoms: redness, swelling, warmth, pain)
• Skin diseases and open wounds, fresh injuries
• Varicose veins

Caution: Caution should also be exercised in patients with osteoporosis and during pregnancy.
