Vervain: The Herb of Every Altar

from Crazy Alchemist · host Crazy Alchemist

Druids, Roman priests, Christian monks, and Chinese doctors all declared the same modest plant sacred. Vervain has no dramatic flowers, no intoxicating scent, no psychoactive punch. Yet for 2,000 years, every altar in Europe claimed it. The science says it genuinely calms the nervous system. The mystery is why this plant, and not a hundred others that do the same.
