Healing Allies: Lemon Balm
Another member of the mint family, Lemon Balm acts as an antiviral, sedative, carminative, hypotensive, uplifting agent, and antispasmodic. It can be used in a variety of ways. I love placing a few leaves in my water when I need a pick me up. Its lemony scent is enriching. It combines well with St. John’s Wort to treat viral infections topically. A bath with Lemon Balm and Rosemary can be helpful for low mood and motivation.
Healing Allies: Motherwort
As a member of the mint family, Leonurus Cardiaca or Motherwort has an affinity for supporting healthy cardiac and pelvic systems.
Healing Allies: Burdock
While writing the class about mental health allies, I hadn’t considered talking about Burdock Root in my teaching. Boy was I wrong.
