25 Herbs for Renewal & Vitality – Supporting Your Body in Spring

Picture by AI

Today’s episode is about renewal, and how herbs can support your body as we move from winter’s stillness into the energy of spring.

We’ll discuss how spring affects our bodies energetically and physically, how traditions like Traditional Chinese Medicine and Ayurveda view this season, and, of course, which herbs can help you align with the season of growth, clarity, and movement.

23 Herbs and Planets – Creating Balance through Herbal Wisdom

Picture created by Brenda J. Sullivan in Canva

 

Today, I want to talk about how astrology and herbs can help us stay grounded and balanced. Whether you’ve faced personal challenges or you just feel overwhelmed by everyday life, creating intentional routines with herbs and astrology has been a game-changer for me. It’s not about treating a specific ailment—it’s about aligning with natural energies and finding balance in your well-being.

Throughout today’s episode, I’ll walk you through:

  1. The four elements—Fire, Earth, Air, and Water—and their significance in astrology.
  2. How these elements show up in herbs and how you can use them to support emotional and physical well-being.
  3. I’ll also share personal stories from my journey, plus practical tips for starting your own routine.

So, grab a cup of tea, and let’s dive in!

22 Aphrodisiacs – Do They Work? A Woman’s Perspective

…society has put unattainable expectations to be all things to their partner…

Valentine's Day is just a couple of days away, and this show is about the holiday from a woman's perspective, whether you are in a relationship or not. I've been married for almost 30 years, and I want to put the holiday into perspective. My friends and I discuss the unrealistic expectations set by society and the impact they can have on mental health.
The greeting card industry created Valentine's Day as a marketing ploy and its history, including the concept of aphrodisiacs. Brenda's guest mentions that she creates boundaries for herself and celebrates the holiday in a more meaningful and personal way, with her family and in a cozy manner.
The show also gets into the topic of aphrodisiacs and the concept of herbal actions related to aphrodisiacs. I share different cultures, including the Greeks and the Chinese, who have documented their beliefs in aphrodisiacs and the use of herbal remedies.

Smudging: Clear the old energy out and welcome in the new energy

Smudging your house is an ancient practice used to cleanse and purify the space. It’s said to clear out old negative energy and invite in new positive energy.

Photo credit Canva

Smudging is a traditional practice that has been used for centuries and is a popular tool in many spiritual communities today. It is a simple yet powerful way to reset and refresh energy and create a peaceful atmosphere by burning herbs or incense and releasing the smoke that carries away any old negative energy and invites in new, positive energy. Smudging can be used for various purposes, from cleansing your home to healing your body, mind, and spirit. In this blog post, we’ll explore smudging, how it works, why it’s important, and tips on how to smudge correctly.

Join me to learn about smudging and explore the various herbs used for this purpose.

My journey into making my skincare products wasn't something I had planned. It was a necessity. Shortly after my daughter was born, we learned she suffered a stroke while I was carrying her. And no one knew it! After she was born, we discovered she was allergic to commercial soap and cleaning products, and so my journey in making my products began.

Now, 25 years later, I've turned my passion into a business called Farm to Bath. I've created a free Skincare Checklist using the products in the video. Click on the link below to download.

Washing The Buddha Celebration – What herbs are used and why is this celebration so special

It's Buddha's Birthday! And to commemorate his birthday, Buddist Temples worldwide mark this day with a ceremony called “The Washing of Buddha.” I doubt there is little coincidence the Monks picked this time by accident over 2,500 years ago. If you are wondering when Christianity was founded, it was approximately 1,971 years ago. Buddism is one of the world's oldest religions, followed by Hinduism, over 4,000 years old.

If you would like to learn more about the Washing of the Buddha Ceremony, here are some links Anne recommends.
