Blue Vervain | Organic | Kosher

Blue Vervain, Verbena hastata ~ Bitter but beautiful, the leaves and flowers of blue vervain have long been considered a relaxing nervine, traditionally used for nervous conditions involving spasming. The European relative has been used for nervousness, exhaustion, and headaches. Blue vervain is commonly tinctured and used in tea blends.

blue vervain has been utilized for its healthful properties for centuries by Native Americans and later by folk herbalists. The herb was traditionally steeped as blue vervain tea but can also be tinctured, made into a syrup, or incorporated into bath and body products like foot soaks and creams.

Verbena hastata is native to North America and is incredibly similar in appearance and properties to its European cousin Verbena officinalis, whom it is often mistaken for. It grows with wild abandon in the Great Plains section of America, and can be found elsewhere on prairies, in meadows, and open woodlands. Other common names for blue vervain include American blue vervain and wild hyssop.

Several other names for vervain are Herb of the Cross, Herb of Grace, Holy wort. These refer to the legend that the wounds of Jesus were dressed with vervain when he was taken down from the cross. This is disputed among biblical scholars as it is not referenced anywhere in modern bibles. It was also used as an ingredient in pagan love potions.
