If I were stranded on an island and could only bring one plant, this would be the one I would choose. Monarda fistulosa, also called Bee Balm, Wild Bergamot, Wild Oregano, Sweet Leaf, and Oswego Tea, is a versatile plant from North America. The leaves, flowers, and stems all carry medicinal actions, including anti-inflammatory, analgesic, diaphoretic, and nervine, among many others. In this video, Ashley will share how she uses this herb from her garden with family and clients and the traditional uses she has gathered from studying the work of Matthew Wood and Tis Mal Crow. This is a plant that not only benefits pollinators but would be a great choice for any medicinal garden.

Latin Name: Monarda fistulosa

Parts Used: Aerial Parts (leaves, stems, and flowers)

Preparations Used: Tea, Poultice, Tincture, Tea Compress, and Salve

The quest for beauty can be one filled with joy, and self-love, and can be a part of the way we live a spiritual life. In this episode, we will explore how to marry the desire for beauty with spiritual curiosity. By shifting how we see ourselves we can not only find more playfulness in the aging process but also stop comparing ourselves with others. I would love to hear your comments and stories!

In this series, Ashley Elenbaas and her spiritual mentor Rukmini Walker explore the symbolism and spiritual teachings found within the season of autumn and, more specifically, what we can learn from the autumn leaves.

Charts and graphs will show you how to maximize your plant yields and harvests.
