Hey everyone! I’ve been a little quiet this past week from family and my birthday, but I’m back and easing into things again. I hope you’re all having a really beautiful week so far!
Spring is in full swing here, and it’s one of my favorite times to reconnect with the plants around us, especially the ones people often overlook.
One of the coolest things about early spring and herbalism, is how many of the plants popping up right now are what we call “spring allies.” These plants tend to support the body in gentle cleansing, nourishment, and movement after the slower, heavier winter months.
Think of herbs that:
- Help stimulate digestion
- Support lymphatic movement
- Offer mineral-rich nourishment
- Gently “wake up” the body again
And the best part? A lot of them are growing right under our feet, often labeled as “weeds”!
Which leads me to what’s coming next!
I’ll be sharing a post soon all about Purple Dead Nettle, a super common spring plant that has way more to offer than most people realize.
Stay tuned for that! There’s also a video up on my socials if you prefer not to wait. 💜
In the meantime, I’d love to hear: Have you noticed any spring plants popping up near you lately?
Below are some photo examples of the medicinal “weeds” I have growing in my yard at the moment!
