I love rosehips! I make rosehip and vervain tea all the time to help with restful sleep and anytime I even think I'll get sick I drink rosehip and honey tea religiously haha. They're both spiritually and physically very good for you I'm always keeping well stocked.

awwww I love that you are so in love with rosehips! I harvested them for the first time a year ago and really love them as a tea and oil. What kinda vervain do you use? I've gotten to harvest a bunch of blue vervain (Verbena Macdouglii) here in New Mexico and was super excited to learn about all the ways its been deeply revered the world over.

In a medicinal way, I’ve only worked with a few so far. My favorites are thyme, lemon balm, lavender, oregano, and Damiana. In the winter, my sinuses are usually in an uproar, so I make a broth heavy on the thyme, and add others like oregano, ginger, and garlic. Dries everything up, and helps with wet coughs, too! I have sleep issues, too, so anything I can blend with lemon balm is a go-to for me. Lemon balm & mugwort for dreams! Lemon balm, Motherwort, & ashwagandah for sleep & long term anxiety relief. Etc. Shockingly enough, I had no idea that lavender is a fabulous antiseptic, so I’ve made a salve with that and a few others for minor skin abrasions. … Herbs are fascinating! And it just reaffirms that the Earth will heal is if we let her. In terms of magic? Cinnamon & basil for attracting money. Mint as an amplifier. Bay for intention. Sage, eucalyptus, rosemary for cleansing… I have a book called Plant Witchery by Juliet Diaz. It’s like a magical/medicinal herb Bible for me. 200+ plants are listed with their medicinal, spiritual, magical properties. I highly recommend.

it's an amazing journey working with plants on every level. That broth is a classic example of food as medicine. You're making me hungry lol!
