Spring has sprung and so have many our faithful plant families!
As an Herbalist #plantain #chickweed #violet #yarrow #dandelion and #chicory are very important to the human body and spirit. Dandelion, plantain and chickweed are even considered #weeds and are dug up and discarded by the unwise for cosmetic purposes... So let's learn a bit about what these "weeds" and "filler flowers" can do for your wellness journey.
Let's begin with some tidbits about these plants. 𝑷𝒍𝒂𝒏𝒕𝒂𝒊𝒏 has an affinity for skin, respiratory, digestive and immunity systems and is often used topical to 𝒔𝒏𝒂𝒕𝒄𝒉 𝒐𝒖𝒕 poisons and toxins that mean to harm the body as well as soothe pain, supporting wound & bruise healing. Spiritually it removes from us what is toxic (including an unhealthy romance) and allows us to fortify uplift the good within ourselves.
The beloved plantain is a great plant to have on hand when taking on the great outdoors.
The beloved plantain is a great plant to have on hand when taking on the great outdoors. handy in case of bee stings, cuts, scraps, insect bites, poison ivy, burns and so much more. It is a renowned #firstaid plant and should not be tossed out of your home garden but rather cultivated and revered there as it will be there to help you with any gardening injuries.
𝒀𝒂𝒓𝒓𝒐𝒘 is one of my favorite plants to work with. It is often used as a filler flower in bouquets but it is a star all on its own. Just like plantain it is an AMAZING #firstaid one that should ALSO be carried with when outdoors. It’s stops bleeding and 𝒉𝒆𝒂𝒍𝒔 𝒇𝒓𝒐𝒎 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝒊𝒏𝒔𝒊𝒅𝒆 𝒐𝒖𝒕. Theres more, yarrow also has an affinity for the cardiovascular, circulatory, Kidneys, digestive and nervous systems. Yarrow it often used in sitz baths, mouthwashes, infusion for headaches and hair washes to prevent balding... Spiritually, yarrow is known for its protective and psychic powers and brings in love of all kinds. Yarrow is an amazing ally to know.
𝑪𝒉𝒊𝒄𝒌𝒘𝒆𝒆𝒅. Chickweed is a new ally for me although I studied it briefly years back, I could not find it #fresh and I learned it was of no use medicinally if not fresh... Chockweed is often sought after for it HIGH nutrient content as well as as its weight reducing properties. Yup adding fresh chickweed can potentially bring you to healthy weight if eaten regularly as well as incorporating other lifestyle changes.
Chickweed has STRONG affinity for the skin especially dry, hot and itchy. It works internally and externally for bacterial and viral infections manifesting through the skin for even children’s diseases such measles and chickenpox. It also helps with boils and cystic lumps due to it great affinity for the endocrine system helping to keep things moving and flowing which in turn supports digestive, respiratory and immunity systems.
The most common way to use chickweed is eating it or making a fresh poultice for skin and “drawing out” needs especially with excess fire conditions. Chickweed can pull the toxicity right out of you makes it an amazing spiritual ally for healing and protection. But its cooling and moistening properties makes it an ideal ally for Fire signs or people who find themselves in fiery situations, as well as people with Pitta and Vata constitutions to help them cool down to allow gentleness, patience & peace while still maintaining your independence. It’s no surprise it’s ruled by Moon and Water. 🤩
