New Moon Plants + Flowers

YOGAMOTIF New Moon by Alecia Dawn

We were so energized by Heather Manning’s New Moon Yoga class we (Alecia Dawn and Carrie McCann) thought even more about this new moon energy and the plants to support this moment. In particular, what 3 plants would you recommend for the new moon and what word would you associate with each?

Answer?

Burdock Root: Cleanse

Chamomile Flower: Rest + Digest

Rosemary: Protect

On Rosemary in particular, one of Carrie’s favorite ways to work with rosemary is to burn dried rosemary as a cleansing and protective ritual for herself and our home.

*A note on working with plants: The descriptions here are just small snapshots of one part of a plant. Always do your own research about plants (find at least 3 sources) if you’re deciding to turn to plants for their medicinal benefits and consult with your trusted healthcare professional, especially if you are pregnant, nursing, taking medications, or have major health concerns. If you’re looking for an herbalist, ask them about their background, their studies, and their specialties.
