Gozo Herbs

As summer approaches, the colours of the landscape begin to change. Gold and yellow slowly replace the greens of spring, and many plants enter their season of flowering and fruiting.

According to the ancient principle of analogy, what happens outside also happens within us.

The warm and dry qualities of summer can bring vitality, movement, enthusiasm and openness. Yet in excess they may also inflame, exhaust and dry out.

Those with naturally warm constitutions often benefit from cooling foods, herbs and habits, while colder temperaments may welcome the season's warmth, taking care not to overdo it.

Observing nature is not only a way to understand plants.

It is also a way to understand ourselves.

This reflection is inspired by the work of Luigi Giannelli and the framework of Mediterranean Traditional Medicine, Mediterranean Physiognomy and Gemmotherapy.

“Casta Diva, che inargenti
queste sacre antiche piante…”
— Norma, Vincenzo Bellini

The moon, with its silver-golden light, illuminates the plants connected to her: herbs with silvery and glaucous leaves, soft to the touch, guardians of water, sensitivity, and the deeper rhythms of the body.

Yet many of these plants conceal a fiery heart.

Wormwood and helichrysum, with their golden flowers and lunar foliage, are intensely warming plants yet deeply anti-inflammatory.
Rosemary reveals its lunar nature in the silvery underside of its leaves: a plant both warm and fresh, solar and aquatic at once.
Sage, traditionally linked to feminine waters, the menstrual cycle, and lunar rhythms, carries a trace of silver upon its green leaves.

In traditional Mediterranean medicine, phlegm — the cold and moist humour — gives softness, adaptability, and plasticity, yet it may also slow, cool, and create emotional distance.

Lunar aromatic plants often help warm the waters without destroying them: they move, dry, and transform.

Among the extraordinary blooms of the Roseto Comunale di Roma, I had the chance to admire hundreds of rose varieties from all over the world. 🌹

Thanks to the guidance of Roberta Donati from
, I also learned more about the traditional uses and properties of the rose — a plant long appreciated in Mediterranean herbal traditions for its gentle action on the skin, its delicate aroma, and its connection to emotional wellbeing.

This experience reminded me why rose preparations have been treasured for centuries, especially Rose Damask hydrosol: refreshing, soothing, and beautifully aromatic. ✨

Soon I will also share my own Rose Damask floral water, prepared for natural skincare and daily botanical rituals. 🌹

Metamorphosis: when we walk together, something changes. 🌿

What began as a simple day in nature slowly became something more: shared stories, laughter, silence, discovery and connection.

Sometimes transformation does not happen in big dramatic moments.
It happens step by step, along a path, between people who were strangers in the morning and part of the same journey by sunset.

Thank you to Karen Mamo directorate malta of ideas .mt.ngo Joseph Bugeja who shared this beautiful day at Comino. 💚

🌿 **Last call – Plants Walk | 2 May (Victoria, Gozo)**

Right now, the landscape is changing.

Some plants are already retreating under the coming summer heat…
others are at their fullest expression.

On this short but intense walk (about 1 hour), we’ll meet them exactly in this moment.

Among them:
– wild mustard, already going to seed — a plant of heat and intensity
– poppy, soft and abundant — carrying a very different, cooling nature
– wild oats, turning golden and spreading everywhere

And many more, growing quietly along walls and at the edges of fields.

This is an invitation to learn how to read them:
their temperaments, their timing, and how they can support *your* own balance.

📍 A hidden, fascinating corner in the heart of Victoria
🕙 Start: 10:00
⏳ Duration: ~1 hour
💶 Contribution: €10 per person

Only a few spots left.

If you’ve been thinking about it… this is your moment.
