Herbs and Plants are wonderful beings to help us when we need a little SelfCare. For smudging I was using Bay, Sage, Mugwort and Rosemary details of their properties below. We all need to love ourselves and herbs and plants can help us to do just that. Here I share several ways that I include my favourite plants and herbs in Self Care. Please let me know what you do. I do mindful walking, pick a bouquet of "weeds" from my garden; enjoy a Rose infused oil for a hand massage; smudge my auric field with Bay; enjoy a footbath of Rose and Rosemary and a lovely cup of tea with Chamomile and Rose.

If you are interested in Herbal Medicine consider my course I"ntroduction to Herbal Medicine" https://www.danusirishherbgarden.com/... and my course Wise Woman Way includes working with plants using druidic and shamanic techniques https://www.danusirishherbgarden.com/... The Weed Handbooks are collections of monographs that detail the medicinal and magical uses of herbs and they can be found here along with cards and flower essences https://www.danusirishherbgarden.com/...
