Herb Profiles

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

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

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.

Burdock

March 07, 2021

Burdock  is  a  weed  that  everyone  should  know  and  love.  I mostly  use  the  roots  and  will  harvest  them  in  the  spring and  fall  to  eat  fresh,  tincture  and  dry  for  tea,  soup  stocks  and syrups.  I  love  using  this  herb  for  clearing  toxins  from  the  gut and  supporting  elimination  and  purifying  the  blood.  I  like  to use  it  for  inflamed  skin  conditions  that  are  hot  and  red,  such  as acne,  rosacea,  rashes,  etc.  Burdock  is  a  pre/probiotic  and  helps support healthy flora in the digestive tract.

Calendula

March 06, 2021

Calendula  is  such  a  beautiful  little  ray  of  sunshine.  We grow  rows  and  rows  of  this  wonderful  herb  and  harvest  its blossoms  well  into  the  fall.  We  make  it  into  a  fresh  tincture and  dry  it  for  teas,  soup  stock  and  oil.  Externally,  I  like  to use  calendula  on  hot,  irritated  skin  conditions  and  it’s  my  top go-to  herb  for  rashes,  cuts,  abrasions  and  rashes.  I  love adding  this  to  soup  stocks  in  the  wintertime  and  other immune  teas  or  baths.  I  add  it  to  teas  for  soothing  the intestinal  tract  and  gut  and  to  support  digestion  and absorption.  I  regularly  use  this  herb  for  any  congestion related  to  the  lymphatic  system,  such  as  swollen  glands, and  it makes a great mouthwash for gum  inflammation.

California Poppy

March 05, 2021

California  poppy  is  a  plant  that  I  swoon  over.  Every  year  I  try to  grow  the  California poppy patch on  the farm  to get  bigger and bigger. I harvest the  entire plant  throughout the  growing season as it flowers and tincture the entire plant fresh. This is a  wonderful herb that I like to use for pain relief, sleep issues and anxiety.

Catnip

March 04, 2021

Catnip is a must on this farm, and not just to keep our four farm cats happy. Their names are Skeletor, Battlecat, Covergirl and Megababy,  and they’d for sure  revolt if  we were to ever stop growing  this  tasty  mint.  I  love  using  this  herb  for  colds,  flus and  especially  in  children’s  formulas.  I  like  to  add  it  to formulas  for  anxiety,  sleep  issues,  tension  headaches.  PMS and  menstrual  cramps  for  its  medicinal  properties  and  for  its mild  mint  taste.  It  can  also  be  helpful  for  stress  related digestive  issues.  Catnip  is  easy  to  grow  from  seed  and transplants.  I  harvest  the  leaves  and  flowers  throughout  the growing season to dry for teas and  tinctures.

Cayenne

March 03, 2021

Cayenne  can  be  great  for  increasing  peripheral circulation,  especially  for  cold  hands  and  feet.  It’s  helpful in preventing arteriosclerosis and lowering LDL cholesterol.  I  love  adding  a  little  heat  to  meals  for  boosting circulation.  I  add  cayenne  to  roasted  veggies,  soups,  salad dressings, salsas, chocolates, sauces  and  just  about everything  that  profiles,  flavorwise,  with  heat.  I  also  like  to make  a  warming  circulatory  oil  with  sesame  or  olive  oil,  for topical use.

Chamomile

March 02, 2021

Chamomile  was  in  abundance  this  year  on  the  farm.  I  think I  planted  over  a  thousand  plants!  We  harvest  the  blossoms well  into  the  fall  to  use  for  tinctures,  teas,  oils  and  elixirs. It’s  an  easy  and  wonderful  plant  to  grow  from  seed  or transplant.  Spending  time  with  this  plant  is  sure  to increase  your  flow  of  creativity  and  inspiration.  I  use  this wonderful  aromatic  bitter  for  digestive  issues  such  as cramping,  bloating,  gas  and  stress-based  digestive  upset.  It’s a  great  herb  to  use  for  anxiety,  inflammation,  menstrual cramps  and sleep issues.

Cinnamon

March 01, 2021

Cinnamon  isn’t  a  plant  that  grows  here  in  Maine,  but  it is  something  that  I  use  often.  One,  because  I  love  the way  it  tastes  and  two,  because  it’s  one  of  those  common kitchen  herbs  that  almost  everyone  has  on  hand,  so  I  tend  to use  cinnamon  as  often  as  I  can.  I  like  to  use  cinnamon  for digestive  support  and  warming  the  body,  helping  to  get  the blood  moving  and  shaking  to  my  cold  fingers  and  toes. and  digestive  support.  I  also  like  to  use  it  internally  for pain  and  cramps  and  externally  as  an  oil  for  joint  and muscle  pain relief.

Dandelion

February 28, 2021

Dandelion  is  a  deep  love,  the  mascot  of  my  business  and the  inspiration  behind  the  name  Herbal  Revolution.  It  was one  of  the  first  herbs  I  learned  to  work  with  on  a  deep  level.  I eagerly  await  the  arrival  of  spring  each  year,  so  I  can  see the  fields  on  the  farm  turn  into  a  sea  of  beautiful  yellow.  I harvest  the  roots,  leaves  and  flowers  in  the  spring  and  fall  to eat,  tincture  and  dry  for  tea,  soup  stocks,  oils  and  vinegars. I love  using  dandelion  for  digestive  and  liver  support, lymph  congestion,  especially  in  the  breasts,  and  skin conditions.
