Enjoyed my quiet morning blending up some herbs for daily spring infusions. One has nettle, calendula, alfalfa, peppermint and mugwort. The other has gotu kola, lemongrass, lemon verbena, and oat tops. Other than food, this is the medicine I take. 
Discussion
Lemon verbena and oats sounds pleasant to drink π€
What do these each do?
Both lemon verbena and milky oat tops are very calming, nourishing for the mind and nerves (among other good things).
Oh I meant the two blends. But that makes sense for those two herbs to go along with gotu kola, isnβt that also good for the mind?
I understand now what you're asking (I think!)
Blend one: I wanted an overall spring tonic. This one is particularly nourishing, and detoxifying, and a digestive tonic (and more). Bc I live in the PNW I wanted something that would be decongesting and draining excess dampness (if that makes sense to you).
Blend two: yes, I did this one especially for the mind. I find these herbs personally great for expanding my mind and clearing things up a bit. Calming is also good--it helps me not take things too seriously. I mean, the world's on fire, but I can only do what I can do, so this blend is a helper to remind me of that.
Awesome π I feel there is a lot I can learn about herbs from you!
