St. John's Bush (Justicia secunda) is one of Saint Lucia's most treasured plants, known across the Caribbean as a blood-building herb and recognisable by the deep red infusion its leaves give up. Mount Kailash Rejuvenation Centre supplies it as 100% dried wildcrafted leaf from the hills around Soufriere.
Traditionally used for blood deficiency and low iron, for recovery after childbirth and heavy menstruation, and as a general strengthening tea during convalescence. It is a staple of women's health in Saint Lucian bush medicine and is often taken alongside a nourishing diet rather than on its own.
Boil 1–2 tablespoons of the dried leaf in 2 cups of water for 15–20 minutes, strain, and drink one cup daily. The infusion should run a clear ruby red; that colour is the sign of good, properly dried leaf.
Wildcrafted in Saint Lucia's volcanic highlands, shade-dried to preserve the pigment, single origin and single ingredient.
