Rose

February 04, 2021

Rose
ROSE
Rosa  rugosa,  Rosa gallica

Family:  Rosaceae

Part used:  Flowers, leaves, hips

Energetics:  Sweet, bitter,  moist

Actions:  Anti-inflammatory,  Antidepressant,  cardiotonic (mild),  nervine

Wild  beach  rose,  Rosa  rugosa,  grows  all  over  the  Maine coast,  and  we  grow  it  in  abundance  here  on  the  farm.  Rose has  a  long  history  of  being  associated  with  the  heart, through  poems,  stories,  tales,  songs  and  tattoos,  of  course. Rose  is  a  wonderful  heart  tonic  and  nervine,  which  has  a supportive  effect  on  the  physical  heart;  I  also  like  to  use  rose for  its  energetic  effects  on  the  heart.  It  can  be  beneficial  for broken  hearts,  grief  and  depression.  I  harvest  the  flowers fresh  and  tincture  them  immediately  in  alcohol  and  honey or  dry  them  for  later  use  in  tinctures  and  teas.  If  you  don't have  access  to  lovely  wild  roses,  then  I  suggest  getting organic,  as  these  plants  are  heavily  sprayed.

Contraindications:  None known.

Ashwagandha
Ashwagandha

March 10, 2021

Ashwagandha, native to India, grows on our farm in Maine as an annual. I harvest the roots every fall to make into tinctures and dry for teas, soup stocks and powder. Ashwagandha is a wonderful adaptogen that can be used as a daily tonic. It is part of the nightshade family, so if you have allergies you may want to avoid this herb. Otherwise, it’s a wonderfully rejuvenating and nourishing herb that I like to use as a brain tonic and to clear up brain fog and poor memory. It helps induce sleep, relieves anxiety and stress and is great for supporting the reproductive system. Ashwagandha is a great herb for rebuilding vitality and overall strength in the body.

Astragalus
Astragalus

March 10, 2021

Astragalus,  part  of  the  pea  family,  is  a  perennial  that  we  grow here  on  the  farm.  We  harvest  the  roots  in  its  third  year  to make  into  tincture  or  dry  for  teas,  soup  stocks,  syrups  and elixirs.  Astragalus  is  a  great  herb  to  use  when  building  back strength  and  vitality.  I  like  to  use  it  as  immune  support to help  prevent  colds  and  flu  and  help  with  allergies.   Astragalus  is  a  rejuvenative  herb  for  when  you  are  depleted and  weak,  helping  restore  vitality  and  energy.  Helps  improve digestion,  nutrient  absorption  and  cardiovascular  function. This  is  a  great  front-line  herb  for  immune  support  and preventive care.

Blue Vervain
Blue Vervain

March 09, 2021

Blue vervain is a great herb  to add to any garden. When we moved  to  the  farm,  I  found  a  couple  of  plants  growing  wild along  the  stream.  I  loved  that  so  much.  I  like  to  use  blue vervain  for  nervous  system  issues  such  as  anxiety,  especially associated  with  PMS  and  menopause  and  it  can  also  be used  for  spasms  and  tics.  As  a  diaphoretic,  it’s  been  used for  relieving  fevers  and  other  flu  symptoms,  such  as  aching muscles.
