Mugwort (Artemisia vulgaris) is growing plentifully around me in Suffolk at the moment. It is distinguishable for its size, red stem and pale back to the deeply cut leaves. I have read that walking along a Mugwort lined lane by moonlight is a sight to behold as the leaf backs appear to shine silver in the moonlight.
Mugwort is a bitter, aromatic herb which can be used to stimulate digestion and the uterus when there is sluggishness as well as encouraging the liver to work more efficiently. It is often noted for its nervine, soothing properties and its association with sleep and dreaming. I tried some myself recently in a blend to aid sleep and had the worst nights sleep I’ve had in a while as it was clearly very stimulating to me. This fascinated me as it highlights how individual we are and that different herbs work in different ways for different people. Obviously the stimulating, heating aspect of Mugwort was far more potent for me than the nervine, calming aspects. It also demonstrated to me the power that herbs can have over us. 🌱

Ribwort plantain (Plantago lanceolata) is growing well and currently flowering. It’s a great remedy for wounds as it helps stop bleeding and start the healing process. It’s also very useful for insect stings, just chew some leaves up if your get stung while out and about then apply the resulting poultice to the sting. It can also help with asthma and hayfever symptoms so if you are out and start to wheeze or sneeze chew a few leaves and you should feel relief. It’s a great plant to be able to identify for first aid. Have a great day and enjoy being out and about. 🌱

Beautiful hawthorn (Crataegus spp.). Is in full flower at the moment, known as mayflower for that very reason. It struck me at the weekend driving around just how abundant this plant is in England.
Crataugus is a well known cardiac herb, it improves circulation and regulates blood pressure. It also lowers harmful cholesterol and strengthens and protects the heart muscle and is a good antioxidant. It can also ease heartache and mixes beautifully with other soothing herbs for this purpose. I have always found it interesting that the bitter principles found in the plant have an affinity with the heart as it contains bitter receptors.
But Crataegus is also a great herb for women at different stages of their reproductive lives as it promotes fertility and eases hot flushes and night sweats. 🌱
