🌿 My 3 Favorite Medicinal Herbs This Time of Year
As an herbalist, I love how the herbs I reach for change with the seasons. These are the three medicinal herbs I find myself working with most during the summer, both in my apothecary and in my daily life.
☀️ St. John’s Wort
One of my favorite summer herbs, St. John’s Wort is traditionally used to support the nervous system and is often infused into oil for topical care. I look forward to harvesting it every year around the Summer Solstice.
🌱 Mullein
Mullein is best known for supporting healthy lungs and respiratory wellness, but I also love infusing the flowers into oil for soothing ear care. It’s a gentle, versatile herb that always has a place in my herbal cabinet.
💚 Lemon Balm
When life feels full, Lemon Balm is one of my favorite calming herbs. Whether I’m sipping it as tea or taking it as a tincture, it helps me slow down, breathe deeply, and enjoy the season.
One of the greatest gifts of herbalism is learning to live with the rhythms of nature. Every season offers different plants, different medicine, and a chance to reconnect with the natural world.
✨ I’d love to hear from you! What medicinal herb are you reaching for most this summer? Let me know in the comments!

🌿 Help Us Bring Herbal Education to Pickathon! 🌿
For the **third year in a row**, I'll be returning to Pickathon to share the healing wisdom of plants through herbal education, plant connection, and community experiences.
Throughout the festival, we'll be creating opportunities for thousands of attendees to slow down, connect with nature, ask questions about herbal medicine, and experience the power of plants in everyday life.
As a nonprofit herbal clinic, this work is only possible because of the generosity of our community.
💚 **Would you consider making a donation?**
Every contribution—large or small—helps cover the costs of bringing our herbal village to Pickathon and allows us to continue making herbal education accessible to everyone.
If you're unable to donate, you can still make a huge difference by **sharing this fundraiser** with your friends, family, and community. Every share helps us reach more people who believe in the importance of accessible plant education.
