🌿 Plant of the Week: Lavender 💜
Lavender is now in full bloom, filling the air with its calming scent and offering deep healing for both body and spirit.

Associated with the element of Air and the planet Mercury, Lavender warms the womb, supports the liver and spleen, opens obstructions, and soothes the "passions of the heart".
Its calming energy touches the nervous system, the emotional heart, and the gut, where tension and heat tend to accumulate in summer.

✨ She dwells in violet fields, where calm and clarity grow.
Here in Gozo, she thrives in gardens and kitchen plots, her scent sweet and her taste unexpectedly gentle.
Let her presence remind you to breathe, soften, and restore balance.

🌸 Use fresh flowers to prepare an infusion or tincture—and let her work her gentle magic.

🔥 Wild Fennel: A Summer Ally for Digestion & the Heart

Summer is the season of the fire element. We naturally produce more yellow bile, increasing internal heat — especially for those with a naturally warm temperament, like sanguine or choleric types.

This can lead to digestive imbalances: cold foods and drinks may cool the stomach, while the liver overheats, causing bloating, intestinal discomfort, and even fatigue in the heart.

🌿 Wild fennel is a warm-natured plant.
Its aromatic compounds help absorb excess heat and moisture from the intestines and gently warm the stomach.

You can prepare an infusion or a fresh flower tincture and take it during meals.
Your digestion will thank you — and so will your heart.

French Ta’ L-Gharb: The Healer of Soul and Body from Gozo
In the small village of Gharb, on the island of Gozo, lived French Ta’ L-Gharb, a healer who combined the wisdom of herbs with remedies for the soul.
For him, illness was not only physical but started from the soul and the sins weighing on the heart. Only by forgiving and removing negative emotions could true healing happen.
Discover more about his extraordinary approach that blends traditional Mediterranean medicine, handcrafted herbal remedies, and spirituality in this post dedicated to a unique figure.

🔥 Let your fire guide you — not burn you.
In the Mediterranean tradition, summer is not just a season.
It’s a mirror of our inner flame — bright, intense, and sometimes overwhelming.
This fire can consume us or illuminate our path.
To all those who feel restless, frustrated, or inflamed —
May this be the sign to slow down, breathe, and transform that fire into vision.

Cooling Summer Infusion: Lavender & Sage 🌿💧

Making an herbal infusion is not only enjoyable but also very beneficial. For summer, we chose two cooling herbs according to Mediterranean Traditional Medicine: lavender, an anti-inflammatory and tonic plant associated with the air element (hot and moist), and sage, cold and dry (earth element) but also connected to the water element (moist and cold) and warming thanks to its essential oils.

This infusion helps lower body heat and eases summer discomfort—perfect for these hot days!
