Fresh lavender (Lavandula spo.). I use the whole above-gound part of the plant, not just the flowers, in my practice. It’s a good calming herb that doesn’t cause as much drowsiness. It also moves stagnation— for instance it promotes peristalsis, is decongestant, and increases circulation. Topically it is good for itching. . . . #herbalmedicine #medicinalherb #plantmedicine #mentalhealth #naturalhealth https://www.instagram.com/p/CBm88tUFjuM/?igshid=vqspbang3021

National Garlic Day Always April 19 th National Garlic Day promotes the many uses of Garlic. And, there certainly are many uses. It's a vegetable. It's a herb. It is used in recipes around the world. Garlic has been used medicinally for thousands of years. And, Garlic is believed to ward off evil spirits😄. About the only negative thing you can say about it, is that it can negatively affect an otherwise romantic evening.😒😬😁

Passionflower (Passiflora spl.) is a dear little vine of waysides, hegerows, and abandoned places. I use it frequently in my practice for its calming properties. . . . #herbalmedicine #medicinalherb #natural #botanical #herbalist https://www.instagram.com/p/B1pgJohlpHa/?igshid=2py4po1jlqfx
