Heart-Supporting Herbs

I also lean on a group of herbs called nervines, which support emotional wellness through times of heavy stress, grief, fear, etc. Even if you’re not being evacuated or are in danger, it is heavy and distressing to be living close to a fire or to have friends and family close to a fire.

• Rose, cooling balm for the heart

• milky oats is so wonderful for when I feel really fried, just so burnt out

• passionflower when there’s a lot of thought looping, catastrophic thinking, repetivite thoughts,

• lemon balm is uplifting AND calming so if I’m feeling anxious but also really low, this is my fave
