Herbs to give you ELBOWS

I recently heard a phrase lately about things that give you elbows, meaning feeling confident, it paints an image of you pushing yourself forward, not hiding in the back.  I loved this image.
 
So many of us struggle with confidence and self-confidence, with setting our boundaries.  If this sounds like you then maybe these few herbs are for you.
 
  • Agrimony – a herb of many uses, digestive, liver, gallbladder, eyes, it has been noticed to strengthen resolve also
 
  • Potentilla – “I love who I am” - feel fabulous about whoever you are. Potentilla is for self-appreciation and acceptance and helps bring out your strengths in a quiet, gentle way.
 
  • Borage – for courage, this is my go to when I’m not feeling in my strength
 
  • Nettle - for courage, just think of the herb itself, it has one of the best defences of any herb, prickly and stinging when approached in the wrong way
 
  • Rosemary – Support focus, elevates energy and bolsters confidence
 
  • Californian poppy – calming, aids sleep, the yellow flowers help you find your own inner shine
 
  • Morning glory – unafraid to take up space, sparks your inner life force
 
  • Lemon balm – boosts self-acceptance, like an inner hug
 
 
Take them as teas – 1 tsp per cup, steeped for 10 minutes, 3-4 x a day.  Always check with contraindications with medications and health issues
 
Frankincense – burn the resin and enjoy the aroma, gives a sense of confidence and inner knowing.
 
Sometimes we just need a little support to see just how amazing we are and that boundaries are a good thing, healthy for us and everyone we come into contact with.
