RE: Herbal Anxiety Support Series: Greeting the Allies, An Introduction
I love that you said that "Herbal Allies don't do the work FOR you, but they assist you in doing your own work." People often assume or hope for a miracle herb that will solve all their problems and will get disappointed in their lacklustre results. It is important to understand the role is to facilitate the mind to heal itself. I like that call the herbs allies. I really enjoyed reading your post. I am following for more. :)
yes! thank you! glad you resonated with this approach; it's the way i see it. there is no miracle herb, but certainly supportive allies who hold space for us and aid us on the path.. truly wonderful plant companions. <3
Yes! That was my favorite part of this post too! The best thing we can do to combat anxiety is to understand where it comes from and adjust our lifestyle (if at all possible). But for those occasions where we can't change - the baby isn't sleeping, we're approaching finals in class, or we lose a loved one - herbs are an excellent tool in our toolbox of self care.
