With Valentine’s around the corner, we invite you to ask the question, “How is my heart?” Beyond the consumerism, this holiday reminds us to show up for LOVE, whatever that means for you. Perhaps you can celebrate by tending to your heart, both the physical organ and the energetic heart center. 💛
Herbs and flower essences known to support your heart space:
Hawthorn: Has adaptogenic properties that help the heart handle stress. Its berries, leaves, and flowers have been used for medicinal purposes for centuries.
Jasmine: As a flower essence, it’s said to help open the heart. In energetic traditions, it helps the heart come “unstuck.”
Turmeric: Another one for physical heart health! Turmeric is packed with curcuminoids that fight inflammation and help your heart stay strong.
Rose: There’s a reason roses are popular as gifts to your lover! The essence of the rose is said to invite us to open our hearts. If you want to soften and open your emotional heart, rose water or oil/essence is a great go-to.
Fennel: Fennel isn’t just delicious – it also helps lower blood pressure and has been shown to reduce cholesterol levels. Enjoy it in a soothing tea, or add it to your salads and dishes for a subtle kick! 🌱
