Vervain, the Delicate Beauty
Vervain, the Delicate Beauty
Some have described it as pale and interesting, others as ‘ethereal’ but herbalists will not be without it for its nervous system restorative qualities. It has mild anti-depressant actions and is also specific for anxiety and long-term stress.
“It is specifically for people that are frantic, helping to centre them and slow them down.”
It is quick to work for both the short-term and also a first choice for long-term convalescence and restoration especially for those who have experienced or who are still entrenched in chronic illness including Chronic Fatigue and M.E.
For this reason, it has been in my ‘nerve restorative’ called ‘Chamomile & Vervain’ formula for decades, which can be taken short-term for a few days or a week or for a much more prolonged time frame. Being ‘bitter’ it also helps digestion.
It is a firm favourite in European but also Chinese medicine. I took this picture of it growing wild on my South Downs walk recently.
