After the holidays, I reach less for herbs that “boost” and more for herbs that hold.
Hold the nervous system. Hold depleted reserves. Hold emotional steadiness.
Rose petals, oat straw, skullcap, and astragalus root are some of my go‑to winter allies for exactly this reason. They don’t rush the body. They support it gently, over time.
Sometimes that’s exactly what healing looks like.
