It's trendy to turn to potent medicinal plants but I'd like to present a different view. Turning towards mindful subtlety.
I enjoy an intuitive way of working with tea herbs for a sense of nurturing healing connection, particularly with simple things such as crafting blends.
Plants are always there as a friendly sense of connection to self, Nature and beyond
Getting into making your own tea blends from the ground up is a nice subtle way to relate to a multitude of plant allies. It's a simple act of care and love that grounds you in presence with the gentle influence of plants.
Simple mindful creation of a tea and it's mindful consumption can take you to many healing places. You form a bond with the plant as you nurture it from seed to maturity that goes beyond the purely consumptive mindset. You have a 'plant friend' you get to grow with and care for as it cares for you
You can also get creative with things like jams (see here for a rose jam)
Being cared for by some Plant Friends.
