What's Your Forever Herb?
Happy Thursday, beautiful souls!
Here's a fun question that's been on my mind: If You Could Only Use 3 Herbs Forever, What Would They Be?
I know, I know—it's like asking someone to choose their favorite child! But this little thought experiment can really help us think about which herbs have made the biggest impact in our lives and which ones we truly can't live without.
Let me share my three picks and why they made the cut:
My #1: Chamomile This gentle flower has been my go-to for so many situations. Stressed? Chamomile tea. Can't sleep? Chamomile. Upset stomach from anxiety? You guessed it—chamomile! It's like having a wise, calming grandmother in plant form. Plus, it's safe for the whole family and works for both internal and external use.
My #2: Tulsi (Holy Basil) This adaptogenic superstar helps me stay balanced no matter what life throws my way. It keeps me calm but alert, supports my stress response, and tastes amazing as a daily tea. It's like having a personal stress-management coach that never judges me for having a rough day.
My #3: Calendula This sunny flower is my skin's best friend! Whether it's a cut, scrape, dry skin, or any kind of irritation, calendula-infused oil or salve comes to the rescue. It's gentle enough for babies but powerful enough to handle serious skin issues. Plus, those bright orange petals always make me smile.
Now it's your turn! Think about the herbs that have truly made a difference in your life:
- Which herb do you reach for most often?
- What herb has surprised you with its versatility?
- If you had to stock a desert island medicine cabinet, what would make the cut?
Don't worry if you're new to herbs—maybe share which three you're most curious to try! And if you're an experienced herbalist, I'd love to hear your "can't live without" picks.
