15. The Herb for Overachievers

My daughter asked me recently, “what’s your favorite herb?” How was I supposed to answer that?! It’s like asking which is your favorite child! Um, all of them! Actually, my response was something along the line of, “whichever I need at that time.” Each year I find myself drawn to 2-3 plants, which I will work with near-daily for several months. For the past few months, my personal favorite has been Verbena Hastata, or Blue Vervain. In this episode, I share all about my friend Blue Vervain, including what it looks like and where you find it growing, it’s energetic qualities, proper dosaging and cautions, actions, and specific indications. I also share why I was attracted to this plant and how to know if a plant is right for you. To order dried or tinctured blue vervain, e-mail me at laureltreewellness@gmail.com and for assistance in finding your herbal match, visit www.laureltreewellnessllc.com Thank you for listening, and Happy New Year!! —>>Edit post recording - My sincere apologies, I referred to a recipe by Thomas Easley, and mentioned that I was not sure of the timeframe of his life, but he is very much still alive!! I mistook him for another herbalist and did not double-check before recording.
