Trauma Oil

Trauma Oil isn't a single plant oil. It's a group of herbs infused into a base oil, traditionally an organic olive oil, with arnica, St. John's wort, and calendula steeped in until the oil carries their character. There's no one standard formula for it; this is the classic combination. Every batch we've logged since 2016 has been infused in the USA from organically grown and wildcrafted plant material.

Trauma Oil is valued for its anti-inflammatory and analgesic character, and for being skin regenerative and antioxidant. You can use it on its own or as the base oil for a blend. Shelf life is around three years.

Every batch is logged on this page with its origin and best-by date, and certificates of analysis are downloadable where we have them.

Shelf life: 3 years
Safety: Hypericin (in St. John's Wort) has been associated with photosensitivity when taken orally, but there have not been any studies suggesting there might be a photosensitivity reaction when used on the skin. There could be increased photosensitizing properties when applied to lesional skin and in fair-skinned individuals after extended time in the sun. There are warnings to avoid taking St. John's Wort internally, if on blood thinners. Although, there is no scientific evidence contraindicative to using St. John's Wort Infused Oil topically. Topically, the dose is a fraction of an internal dose and absorption is much different. When applying topically it is per your own discretion. If you notice any "bruise-like" areas developing when using it, then we would discontinue topical use. Use with caution on animals as it could cause a phytotoxic reaction.
