Abstract

St. John's wort (basan flowers) (Hypericum perforatum L.) is one of the most widely used aromatic and medicinal plants in antiquity and in many parts of the world. It is widespread in the Mediterranean climate, where it is found in the wild. In some countries, it is being cultivated as a plant with many medicinal values. The main medical value is the ability to regenerate cells. St. John's wort (basani flower) oil is used to lubricate wounds that have come from various burns. Depending on the degree of the burn, treatment with St. John's wort (basani flower) oil achieves a much better regeneration, and after a few years, the burn is not noticeable. It has been and continues to be used to prepare a solution for treating stomach ulcers, gastritis, and duodenal ulcers. The solution is prepared with olive oil and grape brandy. The flower petals can be taken, and about 100 g of petals are added to one and a half liters. The mixture is kept in the dark and shaken several times a day until a homogeneous mass is created. Once the solution is prepared, use one tablespoon of the grape solution at dinner and one tablespoon of the olive oil solution in the morning. Both solutions are used after meals. The study was extended to: Berat, Rroskovec, Kuçovë, Poliçan, Dimal and Skrapar. St. John's wort (basani flower) is very sensitive to temperature, awakening at different times and in different places. In Skrapar, it germinates about two weeks later than in lower areas
