My Favorite Relaxing Herbs

By Karen Shelton, karen

 

St. John's Wort: More info at this link, also check the numerous links in this

newsletter.

 

Basil: Smells absolutely wonderful, Relaxing tea, Easy to grow annual .

 

Catnip (Catmint): Relaxing, Helps digestion. Easy to grow from seed or cuttings.

 

Ginseng: Use only cultivated ginseng, wild ginseng is endangered.

 

Jewel Weed: Anecdote for poison Ivy. Wash with tea or make a soap.

 

Lavender: Use a few drops essential oil in bath water to relax and ease

insomnia.

Anti-aphrodisiac. (Try lavender cologne on young dating daughters!).

 

Lemon Balm: Relaxing, Great lemon smell. A good one for herbal pillows.

 

Passionflower: Beautiful, antispasmodic, relaxant, helps with insomnia.

Personally, I find it to be a great mood enhance when under stress. Allegedly

will grow as a houseplant.

 

Rabbit Tobacco: Tobacco substitute, everlasting flowers, grows wild in sunny

places.

 

Skullcap: Possible Hypnotic, Bitter tea but I like the effect; especially when

concentration is needed. Also use before meditating.

 

Wild Mountain Mint: Strong invigorating odor, Good tea for congestion, also a

natural carpet and closet freshener. Grows wild in Tennessee.
