Abstract
A therapeutic composition and a method of producing it by light-activating hypericin in a carrier or solvent. Preferably, the composition is made by combining dried flowers and/or flower stems of St. John's Wort with edible oil and exposing the mixture to the sun for a prolonged time. This process serves to light-activate the hypericin before its use and reduce risk of skin phototoxicity. The composition can be used for treating undesirable conditions such as mouth sores and vaginal infections.
