As a witch and energy healer, herbs are more than just plants to me. They’re allies, teachers, and magical tools. Each herb carries a spirit and an intention, and when we build relationships with them, we open a gateway to deep healing, intuition, and transformation.
Here are some of my most beloved healing herbs and how I use them in my practice, both physically and energetically.
🌼 Calendula: The Golden Healer
Calendula is my sunshine in a jar. Ruled by the sun and connected to the element of fire, it’s a powerful ally for wound healing, skin care, and lymphatic flow. But beyond the physical, calendula radiates confidence, joy, and warmth, helping to clear energetic debris and amplify self worth.
I use it in:
- Salves and skin oils
- Yoni steams
- Ritual teas for heart healing and solar empowerment
- Pre-spell baths for clarity and golden energy
🌿 Mugwort: The Dream Gatekeeper
Mugwort is my go to for intuitive work, spellcraft, and dreamwork. Mugwort opens the third eye, deepens meditative states, and invites ancestral guidance through the veil. Mugwort awakens what’s been buried and connects us to the unseen.
I use her for:
- Pre-spell teas or incense blends
- Smoke cleansing before divination
- Yoni steams for womb awakening and psychic vision
- Journeying with my spirit guides
🌹 Rose: The Heart Opener
Rose teaches us about boundaries, self-love, and emotional alchemy. She carries sacred Venus energy - sensual, magnetic, and deeply healing. I turn to rose for heart healing and love centered rituals.
She weaves into:
- Heart centered teas with rose and hibiscus
- Love and beauty spells
- Aura baths and spiritual anointing
- Emotional clearing rituals
🌿 Nettle: The Earth Warrior
Nettle is pure life force. She strengthens the blood, supports the kidneys, and grounds the nervous system. Energetically, she is protective and empowering, a root chakra powerhouse.
I use nettle for:
- Herbal infusions for strength and nourishment
- Root chakra healing
- Protective spellwork
- Rewilding my nervous system
🌸 Chamomile: The Soothing Witch
Chamomile is calming, gentle, and grounding. She works beautifully with the nervous system to relieve anxiety, insomnia, and energetic tension. Her energy invites peace, rest, and abundance.
How I love her:
- Nighttime teas and dreamwork rituals
- Nervous system support during stressful times
- Prosperity and calming spells
- Baths and herbal smoke blends
💫 Damiana: The Sensual Alchemist
Damiana is a plant of pleasure, presence, and passion. She awakens our sensuality, softens emotional blocks, and lifts the spirit. In spellwork, she enhances sexual energy, creativity, attraction, and heart expansion.
Damiana supports me with:
- Herbal teas for heart opening and desire
- Yoni steams and sensual self-care rituals
- Love and attraction spells
- Channeling feminine magnetism and inner fire
As witches, we don’t just use herbs, we collaborate with them. We listen, we offer gratitude, and we co-create magic together. These are just a few of the plant spirits I call on most often, but my apothecary is always evolving as I grow.
If you’re just starting out, let yourself be drawn intuitively to the herbs you need most. Your body and spirit will always know who to call in.
