Herb of the Month
Hibiscus
Hibiscus can have pucker your lips with its sour taste, but did you know that because of the sour taste it stimulates your salvia glans, which signal your liver to start producing bile which will help you digest your food faster? In other words, it helps you poop!
If you’ve joined Ashamenta’s Women Group Bloom you’ll have been given hibiscus in mainly teas created for that group. Originally used to help detox the body and awaken the senses in the ‘Spring Into Nature’ blend, hibiscus is becoming a go to herb for me.
Hibiscus is a common tea that can be found all over the world, but it is believed to have originated in Egypt. Used in many different foods, syrups, honeys and desserts hibiscus is a beloved plant. The entire plant can be used but it’s most common to the flower, which only blooms for ONE day. Great addition to your garden especially if you’d like to attract pollinating bees, birds and butterflies.
This wonderful flower is packed with some awesome nutritional benefit. The tea is said to contain about 31 percent of your daily amount of vitamin C, about 85 percent of thiamin (vitamin B complex found in grains, beans and the liver) and almost 48 percent of your daily iron intake! 2 cups a daily and you’ll be sitting pretty!
Along with being a laxative it is also a diuretic, antibacterial and can also save you from Scurvy due to its high vitamin C. It doesn’t stop there, it’s also loaded with antioxidants, will stimulate the liver, increase appetite, soothe coughs, reduces fevers, and help repair chapped or irritated skin. Studies suggest that the flower has anticancer properties and may help in weight loss.
The Iranians have been using hibiscus tea for decades to help lower blood pressure because its ability to mimic ACH inhibitor. Egyptians used hibiscus to lower body temperature, increased urine production, and to treat heart and nerve diseases. Studies back in 2009 showed that 2 cups a day could help manage cholesterol in diabetes patients.
Though most ceremonies use hibiscus to attract love or lust, hibiscus can be used to help aid in your dreams by leaving it next to your bed or under your pillow. It also aids in luck, divination, and tranquility.
Hibiscus should not be used if pregnant or breastfeeding. Also use caution with children or if you have liver or kidney disease. Trust your body if you’d feel well while using hibiscus stop using.
Stone of the Month
Amazonite
What an amazing little giant we have in Amazonite. It is a very lovely blueish/green color that you usually see. I happened upon this stone in a crystal store and just felt very drawn to it. I had no knowledge of what it could do, but I felt in my core that I needed to find out what it had to offer, so I bought it. Now, that I have been working with it for a few weeks I can see why I needed it.
Amazonite is used to treat fatigue, trauma, or anything else that may take your energy away. It is also great for helping with thyroid issues and offers support while healing from alcoholism. It helps lighten worry and fear, dispels negative energy, aggravation, and blockages in the nervous system.
Amazonite helps with calcium problems and is good for relieving muscle spasms, lessening tension, and pain. It’s good for healing joint complaints from rheumatism and inflammation over the liver. It helps relieve emotional grief held in your physical body, helpful to cell regeneration and healing after an injury. Assists in helping with hair loss and brittle nails.
I can say it has been a game-changer for me over the past few weeks. I am loving this stone! Head to your local crystal store and take this beauty our for a test drive, you won’t be sorry.
Spirit Animal of the Month
Squirrel
What amazing little creatures they are; the spirit of the Squirrel reminds us to plan and to persevere. As well as to make time to play. This animal is a master of gathering and preparing for the future. It knows the balance between conserving energy and exertion and preserving your resources. They know what to bring with them and what to leave behind.
A variety of cultures view the Squirrel’s meaning and symbolism as lightheartedness and pure fun. Just look out a window and watch Squirrel antics, it’s easy to see why. The Squirrel’s playful demeanor has a more sensible side, that pragmatically looks at life.
The Squirrel hides bits of food in various locations for the barren winter months, this represents long-term planning. The diligent Squirrel knows they’ll only find small portion of the food they burry, still they them buried anyway. This leaves room for forgotten foods to transform into plants and trees for the coming spring.
To follow the wisdom of Squirrel to allow the fun to flow while still leaving room to create a savings account, make future goals or trips, finding a life insurance policy or updating a will. Be careful to prevent going overboard and becoming too committed to plans as you may lose some in order for new adventures to bloom.
Our little Squirrel farmer faithfully sows seeds, albeit out of habit; this leads us to question our own proverbial crops. Are we sowing healthy spiritual seeds in our daily life? Do we find weeds growing instead? Tend the garden of your life faithfully. With Fall being around the corner, it’s amazing time to start looking the seeds of intention you’ll be planting for the upcoming year.
Squirrel Spirit is known for having quite a voice. When they play, they chatter. When they sense danger, their vocalization warns other Squirrels nearby. Find your voice, use it effectively, be mindful of your words and honor their power, this is part of the power of Squirrel Medicine.
