Botanical Name : Verbena officinalis (Hoary Vervain) , Verbena hastata (Blue Vervain) Energetics : Cooling, drying Major Properties : Nervine, antispasmodic, relaxant Examples of Uses: Stomachache due to anxiety, stiffness at nape of neck due to tension Parts Used : Flowering tops of plant while in full flower Preparations: Tincture Oil Personal Observations : Vervain is beneficial for idealists or Type A persons who are out of balance - wanting to prove things, always analyzing, can see room for improvement everywhere, hardest on self, harsh self criticism, never good enough... Mental feeling of wanting/needing to prove things. Vervain is also an antispasmodic so it can help the same intense personality types as an IBS remedy or a tension remedy. Can help to get an idealist/Type A person into balance if out of balance, but he/she will still be a Type A person - just in balance. May be useful for hot flashes for women who tend to be intense and driven. This brief overview merely highlights my observations. There is, of course, a great deal of information that you can find on the Internet or in books. Or better yet - get together with other herbalists and share your experiences! Please add your own experiences so that together we can create a more comprehensive overview. As always, if you have a chronic ailment that is not resolving itself or an acute issue, seek the attention of your physician.

Herbal Products for Purchase

If you have taken any of my classes, you know I am happy to share my knowledge of healing plants as well as the techniques for making your own herbal products. However, if making your own products doesn't appeal to you, please consider purchasing from me. It helps to support my herbal obsession, which will hopefully benefit you as well!

If you don't see something you are looking for, contact me. I may have it, just not listed.

If you are interested in purchasing anything, contact me and we'll figure out a way to exchange your money for my product. You may notice I don't have a store set up on my website. That's because this is not a business and, frankly, packaging and shipping isn't fun! If picking up items at my house is not possible, I will mail if you pay the actual shipping cost along with the cost of the product.
