The Nervous System Herbal

Janet M. Bryan

Some days the noise of ordinary life just does not stop, and the body keeps bracing long after the reason has passed. This is a calm walk through plants that have long been used to ease that state: chamomile, lemon balm, oat straw, skullcap, and the practices that help them work, from evening tea rituals to simple tinctures and breathing patterns that cue the body to stand down. Grounded, gentle, and easy to put into practice tonight.
