The Feminine Way of Plant Medicine – Deb Soule

Discover medicinal plants and tonic herbs most valued for women’s health — to heal and thrive during your specific cycle of life.

Do you have a favorite plant or tree whose leaves or fruit you anxiously await each year — to craft a tea, tonic, or tincture?

The enjoyment and healing derived from our relationship with the plant medicines we grow starts long before we apply or ingest them…

Herbs and other plant medicines offer us hope, beauty, and the opportunity to create an intimate relationship with the Earth — one based on mutual respect and care.

The daily use of herbal remedies empowers us to care for ourselves, our families, and our communities.

And our herbal wisdom connects us to herbalists and healers throughout the ages who have called upon the healing power of plants.

Your Intimate Relationship With Medicinal Plants

Connecting deeply with these living, growing “beings,” including the soil, offers you an opportunity to not only better know a plant’s healing qualities and growing requirements, it can nurture your mind, body, soul, and Mother Earth.

When you’re attuned to a plant’s essence or “spirit,” you’re awakened to how its energies and life cycles synergize with yours.

For example, when you place seeds in moist soil they undergo an awakening process, and when you add them to your teas, tinctures, and foods they offer you a similar awakening energy.

And using seeds as medicine and saving them from your garden, as well as growing and eating food that your ancestors ate connects you with your roots and the Earth — honoring both the plant’s life cycle and your own.

These simple acts can help you to heal the places inside you that have been wounded, and to celebrate and continue the lineage of both your people and plants.

When you pay attention to the beauty, scents, and expansive nature of flowers, you can find inspiration on physical and spiritual levels, as they move you from feeling separate and isolated to being present, awake, and embodied.

When we work with the soil to grow our healing plants, we can experience a deep spiritual grounding, and we have the opportunity to bring reciprocity into this relationship, through the use of organic, biodynamic gardening practices that are good for the Earth.

We can also offer blessings as we sow seeds and gather harvests to energetically share our positive intentions and gratitude for the plants that can heal us.

And we can look to the rhythms of the season and solar and lunar cycles to discover when it’s best to plant and harvest. Our ancestors have looked to the moon’s phases for centuries to raise vital crops.

Discovering a Plant’s Spirit Expands Your Knowledge of Herbalism

Herbs replenish and restore your body’s health and vitality by supporting its inherent metabolic processes of strengthening, toning, and rebuilding.

Leaves, flowers, seeds, roots, and berries offer you healing medicines to address different health issues, yet you can gain a better understanding of their healing powers — beyond the physical — when you look deeper, into a plant’s “spirit” or inherent essence.

For example, medicinal roots — the foundation of a plant — help to strengthen your inner core, cultivate confidence, and feel present and rooted.

Liver-supporting herbs, that also support adrenal function, are especially vital for women, because they help balance shifting hormones and mood swings and promote emotional resilience.

Flower essences nourish your self-esteem, dignity, inner harmony, and capacity to heal.

There are also specific flowers that support breast health, liver, lymph, nerves, and skin.

For women, these include herbal breast massage oil, herbs and dietary regimens for supporting vaginal health, and baths that can uplift the spirit and enhance inner peace.
