Dried verbena
Dried verbena, often referred to as the “sacred herb,” “enchantment herb,” or “witch herb,” is renowned for its health benefits, particularly in treating digestive issues such as slow digestion, bloating, belching, flatulence, and stomach aches. To alleviate these digestive problems, an infusion of verbena is highly recommended.
Health Benefits
- Calming Effects: Verbena is utilized for its soothing properties in cases of panic attacks, insomnia, headaches, palpitations, stress, premenstrual syndrome, and dizziness. It also aids in fever reduction by promoting sweating and accelerating healing.
- Bactericidal Properties: Effective against mouth ulcers, cold sores, and yeast infections like athlete’s foot. Applying a decoction of verbena leaves with a cotton swab to the affected areas at least five times a day can offer relief.
- Skin Care: As a softening and healing plant, verbena calms skin irritations on both the body and face. Dabbing the irritated areas with a cotton ball soaked in verbena infusion can soothe the skin, and this infusion can replace your usual lotion. Store this lotion in a closed bottle in the refrigerator for up to three days.
Culinary Uses
Verbena can be mixed with salt or sugar to enhance its flavor in culinary applications. It imparts a delicious taste to compotes and can be used to season various dishes, adding a unique lemony essence.
