Vervaine (Verbena officinalis) is a plant with a history that dates back to before the Middle Ages, when it was highly valued for both its medicinal properties and its reputation as a magical herb.  It was a "cure-all" in medieval folk medicine, used to treat wounds, fever, and digestive issues in addition to repelling evil spirits.

Verveine is popular in Provence where it grows easily. I keep 4-5 bushes on the property as I just love the scent. By cutting back the pushes in the autumn and drying the leaves, I am able to enjoy the scent in a delicious tisane, all year round. While many prefer an iced-tea which mixes verveine with other herbs such as mint or sage, I enjoy a hot tisane at bed-time, Naturally relaxing, I find Verveine is a precious ally for finding restful sleep. .

A natural stress reliever, a steaming cup in the afternoon, calms mental agitation so you to regain a state of well-being.

An effective digestive ally, Verveine stimulates the digestive system and helps prevent discomfort after a hearty meal.

Anti-inflammatory properties, help soothe muscle and joint pain, making it an ideal infusion after physical exercise.
