As you continue to recover from Helene, what aspects of you need healing? In order to introduce to you some of the ways in which herbs can be helpful, I thought I'd share with you the formulas I created for my own process. Yes, my property was damaged in several ways, but for me, the hardest part is the grief, the details of which I will keep to myself as I am quite certain you already have enough of your own weighing on your heart. My grief formula contains schisandra berry, Holy basil, St John's Wort, and Mimosa bark. I'll explain a little about each one:
- Schisandra berry helps to normalize the nervous, digestive and immune systems. It's a tonic for the whole body, boosting physical and mental energy and retaining the Jing, or vital essence. It also helps to protect the liver against environmental, viral and drug induced damage.
- Holy Basil (Tulsi) lifts the spirits, increases clarity of thought, and dispels depression. It clears out the fogginess, reduces anxiety, and increasing feelings of joy and happiness.
- St. John's Wort connects us with our solar plexus, helping to relieve mild depression, especially when accompanied by anxiety, fear, and insomnia. An herb that blooms during the summer solstice, it reconnects us with the sunshine in ourselves and our community. It is also invaluable for treating nerve pain.
- Mimosa bark is both uplifting and grounding, easing heartaches, stress, and irritability and helping to calm the spirit while releasing suppressed emotions.
Powerful medicine, I use this formula to help me process and release the grief without getting stuck in it. It allows me to feel it and move on so that I can be of service to others. This is just a few of the herbs that are beneficial for the nervous system. The beautiful thing is that they can be combined in such a way as to address a specific person's unique needs.
Sometime soon I will share my formula for sleep!
