Nature's Healing Embrace
Herbs have comforted depressed hearts for centuries. Here are my top soothing picks:
St. John's Wort - Mood lifter and stress reducer.
Lavender - Calms mind and body.
Chamomile - My favorite, soothes anxiety and promotes sleep.
Ginkgo Biloba - Boosts mood and energy.
Passionflower - Eases anxiety and insomnia.
St. John's Wort
St. John's Wort
Quite the Mood BOOSTER, St. John's Wort has striking yellow flowers. The name St. John’s wort apparently refers to John the Baptist, as the plant blooms around the time of the feast of St. John the Baptist in late June.
Alfalfa reduces inflammation and lowers cholesterol.
Now, imagine my Alfalfa Lemon Zest Tart:

Lavendar
Lavendar
The essential oil is already a popular item for aromatherapy. Lavendar has properties that create such a zen moment. Besides the soft yet fragrant aroma, interacts with key neurotransmitters in the central nervous system to produce its calming effects.
Lavender, the calming queen!
Calms anxiety and stress
Promotes deep sleep
Soothes skin irritations
Eases headaches and pain
🪻For headaches apply diluted lavender essential oil to your temples or inhale its aroma by mixing a few drops into boiling water or a warm compress 🪻
How would you like to use lavender – tea, oil, or bath?
Ginko Biloba
Ginko Biloba
Found in fossils dating back 270 mill. years ago. Due to its flavanoids and nitric oxide, it is widely used for memory, bronchitis, and anxiety. The nitric oxide (not the cousin nitris oxide-what dentists would call the "laughing gas") relaxes the muscle in the artery helping for better circulation.
It reduces hormones like cortisol. Ginkgo Biloba, the mood booster!
Improves memory and focus
Boosts energy and mood
Reduces stress and anxiety
Increases blood flow and oxygenation
Antioxidant rich – fights aging!
