Witch, Witch, You're A Witch

The famous quote from the movie Practical Magic. The famous movie about true love and magic. One of my favorite movies. The Wizard Of Oz has always been my very most favorite movie since I was 5! I always loved the cowardly Lion and Glinda!

I noticed that as I became an Herbalist, that people started calling me a Witch. Now I work with people in all aspects of herbal and psychic healing. Teaching, doing health consultations, yoga consultations, tarot readings, saliva readings, psychic consultations, chakra balancing sessions, growing an herbal garden, doing herb walks, astrology classes, writing eBooks, my you tube channel, @starlitwithannecalzada, my patreon.com/HEALINGHEARTHERBS channel, creating herbal medicine, magical and beauty blends for people!

So, am I a Witch?

What is a Witch?

The word Witch carries a lot of different implications and connotations with it. I'm sure there are many debates into the origin and traditions of witchcraft. They say that the word itself is of Germanic and Old English origin. They say it means wise. Extending out into every single race, creed and culture. Every culture has had their own version of this word. Sometimes called Wiccans, Shamans, High Priestesses, Curanderas or Brujas even. I'm sure that there are many names in this world to indicate a Witch as well.

As many cultures exist, so do the belief systems of what a Witch is. We know from history that women who knew herbal medicine, delivering babies and curing the ill were looked upon as magical. Typical Herbalists and Midwives who are trained in the healing medicine of the woods, mountains and forests. Women started rising up even in the marketplace, where alewives who brewed wore a black pointy hat to advertise that they were saleswomen at the market during medieval times. The shape was also used as a conduit. Men later used these hats and images to portray women as Witch's who were viewed as evil. I believe that conical hat is an icon now.

As many cultures as there is, there re that many different types of Witches and the practices that they craft. There are female Witches, male Witches. Some are healers and some are hexers. Some are both. Some people work magic for themselves, and others are paid to do spells for others. Some blend ritual with their Christian faiths.

What is Witchcraft?

The belief that the Universe responds to YOUR desires. That the Universe only knows YES. The belief that reality manifests per your focus. Where your focus grows, energy flows. Advocating, petitioning, praying for yourself and loved ones. Self permission and self empowerment. Love, healing, health and beauty. Protection.

Something that cannot be controlled, bought or sold, as your magic is your own. It is YOU. You are your own magic. Your own vibrational signature. Your energy and power. Your free will and your choice. Witchcraft is prayer, petitioning, ceremony and spells that use many different ingredients as all practioners are different. I personally believe that you create your own practice. I personally only pray to God and through Jesus Christ. As a psychic, I do NOT work with spirits, deities or demons. I suppose that I am a healer and solitary practioner of spiritual revelry and I do not need a church or a coven. It is a personal spiritual practice for me. Love, candles, herbs, incense, cauldrons, oils, salts, petitions, moon water etc. are very common ingredients. I hear God in the wind and the leaves of the trembling Aspens. I see God in the stars over the mountains at night. I feel God when I sit in my herb garden with the Colorado Sun on my face. I feel God with every breath and heartbeat. For me that is magic.

I believe the Witch is wise in their own ways. Some of them you may like and others you may not. It ain't no big thing, it's just like life or music! The Witches personal intention is everything because that is their vibration and energy. I have heard of white Witches, black Witches, green Witches, banishing Witches, cottage Witches, hedge Witches, wiccan Witches, kitchen Witches, sea Witches, glamour Witches, moon Witches, chaos Witches, elemental Witches, Christian Witches. People have worked with nature and the seasonal changes because that is natural. They use the elements. They use tradition and ritual just like church's do. Some create their own. Each person and practice is truly different. When people used to call me a Witch I would say I'm a Christian, because I am a Christian. Then I started answering them with only "bad Witches are ugly!" These days when people call me a Witch I just say oh, thank you so much!

Many Blessings

Love, Anne

Apple Rose Butter

© Anne Calzada Herbalist

Apples are the classic fruit. Traditional in most people's lives and in most people's cultures. Apple trees grow easily in most places. We all know the biblical story of Adam and Eve and the snake. We have all heard "an apple a day keeps the doctor away". What is it about them that is so romantic and timeless? There are so many kinds of Malus species (Apples) out there and they all have healing benefits. Apples are both food and medicine.

Edible medicine.

Apple trees are a member of the Rosaceae family. The rose family. Apples are cooling, anti-inflammatory, alterative, diuretic.

Apples cleanse the liver, the gall bladder, the kidney and the colon. They are high in pectin which is a form of digestive fiber. They cleanse the intestinal tract and colon. This also helps to remove cholesterol from the arteries and strengthens the cardiovascular system. Apples are gentle and help to balance diarrhea or constipation. Apples are known to lubricate the lungs and help to remove stagnation in the chest. Apples are known to balance blood sugar and combat hypoglycemia due to the natural glucose and fiber that they contain. Apples strengthen the hair, skin and nails. They are a fruit for beauty for they ate rich in antioxidants, vitamins and minerals. Apple cider vinegar is made from apples and is one of the worlds natural health tonics.

Apples are magical and are used as such. If you cut one in half, you can see the little pentacle which is a five-pointed star which represents, spirit, earth, air, fire and water. Apples are known to increase vitality and fertility. It is said that Unicorns love apples and that it is one of their favorite trees. If you see an Apple tree, you may also see a Unicorn underneath of it, sleeping or just munching on apples all day.

Apple Rose Butter Recipe

Peel any kind of apples. You can also leave the skins on as well. This is preference. Use as many apples as you like. I used 12 apples. I covered them with brown sugar. You can sprinkle in clove and cinnamon powder or your preferred spices. You can add orange slices, lemons, fruit juice instead of sugar, cinnamon sticks, vanilla bean pods or in my case, rose petals!!! Use your imagination and what you have around you. Infuse your apples in a crockpot for 10 to 12 hours. When you are ready, blend them. Now you have an amazingly vibrantly, healthy, immune stimulating fruit spread!

Motherwort is also a very powerful plant ally for women from the beginning of our menstruation until the end of our cycle. The Latin name for Motherwort is Leonarus cardiaca. She is a member of the Lamiaceae family. Motherwort is antispasmodic, cooling, analgesic, diuretic, antifungal, nervine, diaphoretic, drying, emmenagogue, circulatory stimulant.

Taking a bath with Motherwort is soul soothing and stress reducing experience. You can use the whole plant, make a tea, flower essence or even add tincture drops to your soak.

Look at the Latin name. Leonarus cardiaca is indicative of the

cardiovascular system. Motherwort is known to stimulate your blood flow, so women who are experiencing amenorrhea may have relief using this herb. Avoid use during pregnancy because of this. It has been used by experienced midwives during labor. Motherwort tones the uterus. It can break up clots and therefore help to relive cramps during menstruation. It promotes contractions.

Motherwort is an ally for menopausal women as well. Women who experience stress, insomnia, tension, hot flashes, palpitations and mood swings. It can help you take the edge off.

Herbalists make medicine with Motherwort as a tincture mostly. It is a bitter plant for tea, but is effective water medicine. Some women use it as an infusion. Some have burned it as a smudge. Cleansing lower vibrations and celebrating the feminine energy. Motherwort has spines growing on it and the flowers are beautiful. It is a protective plant both physically and psychically. That is why it came to grow at my doorstep as a volunteer. Offering protection and honor at the home energetically. Herbs choose you!

Thyme Is On My Side

Ⓒ By Anne Calzada Herbalist

Thyme

Thymus vulgaris

Laminaceae

Thyme is one of my favorite herbs. It is predominantly known as a culinary herb, however, just like all of our herbs it has way more to offer than just that. I have used it through the years for several infections. I have always known Thyme in the kitchen and the garden as I grew up with it. It is always growing in my garden and stocked in the spice cabinet.

Thyme is another pandemic plant, meaning that it grows all over. It is easy to grow. Use the leaves for cooking with. There are also other varieties for cooking such as Lemon Thyme. I use Thyme with soups, meats, salad dressings, my Italian dishes etc...

It is antiseptic, antibacterial, antifungal, antimicrobial, antiparasitic, antitussive, carminative, decongestant, emmenagogue, rubefacient, vulnerary, immune tonic. It is a warm plant that is aromatic and stimulating to the body. Thyme was one of the main herbs used in the famous "four thieves" formula that was used for safety by thieves during the black plague.

I once used it to clear a severe hookworm infection on a foot. At that time I used Thyme essential oil. Thyme essential oil is very powerful. Always dilute before application directly to the skin. I will say in this case, since the infection was on the side of the foot, we did not dilute it and it effectively killed this parasitic infection.

I have also used it to clear a bacterial infection in the lungs, however I used the tincture of thyme in this case. Thyme has an infinity for the respiratory system, and I believe that it is good medicine for the lungs. It cleanses them of pathogens and helps to soothe the lungs during expectation of phlegm and mucous. The perfect plant for bronchial conditions such as asthma or allergenic inflammation. It is good for bronchitis, laryngitis, colds, flu, coughing, sore throats. Thyme is great for digestion. It is a carminative, so it will help to digest fats and dispel flatulence if you use it in cooking.

As a medicinal tea, it can be used as a wound wash, so you can take a bath with a bundle of Thyme. Use Thyme tea as a hair rinse if you have dandruff issues. It is antifungal, so it will heal the scalp. Soaking in Thyme is good as a sitz bath if you need healing in the perineum are of the body, it will heal and remove infections like yeast making it very helpful to both women and men.

Thyme is a revered healing plant. It is used not only physically, but also spiritually. It is used in embalming the dead. It is used in honoring the ancestors. It is known as a protective plant. It is burned as an incense or a smudge to both cleanse negative energies and to also invite good energies for consecration. The ancient Greeks knew of this and would use it in their temples. Many cultures of people use Thyme. It is known for instilling courage, strength and power to its user. Thyme flower essence encourages courage and bravery.

Ancient tales of faeries always surround this plant. It is said that they live in and around wherever Thyme is planted. That planting Thyme will bring good luck to those who plant it because the faeries will use their magic to protect anyone who provide for them!

Thank you for your love!

The Bay Tree

The Bay tree is a legend throughout herbalism and is an old, revered medicine. Bay is a member of the Laurel family. The Lauraceae. Its Latin name is Laurus nobilis. Bay is known to be antiseptic, antifungal, analgesic, astringent, aromatic, carminative, digestive, circulatory stimulant and diaphoretic.

It has been used traditionally in cooking, beauty, protection and magic. We have been adding Bay to soups, stews, beans and meat dishes. Why? Bay is a digestive, helping the liver and gallbladder to release bile for fat breakdown. It adds flavor, is antiseptic and astringent and will help to tenderize meat and vegetables. It helps to reduce gas when added to these dishes. Bay will help the body to assimilate nutrients.

It is said that the Bay tree was dedicated to the ancient Greeks by Apollo and Aesculapius, the God of Medicine. Regarded as a symbol of victory and honor to the ancient Greeks and Romans. Nobility and students were known to wear a wreath of Bay on their head to increase mental acuity, remembrance and dedication. Apollo pursued Daphne until the Gods turned her into a Bay tree. He was so upset that he declared that the leaves would remain green all year round. He then, always wore a wreath of Bay leaves every day.

Bay leaves are known to repel insects. Added to a sachet or hung in a closet will help to deter bugs. Use it in natural insect repellant blends.

Bay has circulatory and analgesic properties, so it has been used in oils and liniments for arthritis and rheumatism. Bay is also used in men's beauty care products. It is added to hair blends for alopecia and foot blends for athlete's foot. Bay is distilled in rum and used in men's aftershave blends. Bay leaves added to the bath for a physical and psychic cleansing.

It is antiseptic and stimulating to the respiratory system. Bay encourages the lungs to expel phlegm. Use as a poultice or compress.

Bay is known to purify the energy of a room, to disinfect the negative energy. It is used as a smudge because of its purification properties and energy. It is said to be a very protective tree. Wishes are written on Bay leaves and burned to help manifest your dreams.

Probiotic Wellness

ⓒ Anne Calzada Herbalist

HEALING HEART HERBS SHOP

Spring is here and new life begins. All of life becomes alive and that includes all of life's living organisms as well, so this is a good time to discuss probiotics. Some of these pathogens can be invasive. Pathogens such as Candida for example. When thinking about the role of probiotics in our lives, we are beginning to understand the roll of healthy pathogens in our health.

It is becoming more mainstream to know about probiotics such as acidophilous. The media will tell you that you can achieve good health through yogurt etc... however sometimes yogurt is high in sugar or people are lactose intolerant of dairy. I have met several people lately who do not even know what acidophilous is. Thats fine. Let's get educated.

Acidophilous lactobacillus is the most popular of the probiotics. It is the one that the Doctor will tell you to purchase if you are taking antibiotics. The fact is that there many different strains, each serving its purpose.

Probiotics help the upper GI and lower GI tract assisting with digestion, elimination, acne, diarrhea, constipation, irritable bowel syndrome, leaky gut, Crohn's disease, bloating, gas, chronic upset belly gurgling, vaginal health, yeast infections, halitosis, detoxification and immunity. This means that you will feel better and have a stronger, healthier body with good nutrient absorption and beautiful skin.

Probiotic strains work together to build colonies within your body that will keep yeast, bacteria and toxins from building up and causing more damage. Our Grandmas had it right. My German grandmother, Anna, was big on fermented foods such as sauerkraut. Foods that have probiotics are sauerkraut, yogurt, kombucha, fermented salsa, kim chi, kefir, miso soup. These are great to add to your diet every day for health and longevity. If, however, you are dealing with a chronic or acute condition, I would supplement with the capsules of probiotics, found at any health food store. This will ensure that you will receive a therapeutic dosage that is potent enough and effective for you and what you are healing.

Many Blessings,

The Virtues Of Rosemary

© Anne Calzada Herbalist

Rosemary is one of our most valued healing plants that we have. Rosemary is very easy to grow at home and use both for culinary and medicinal purposes. Let's take a look at some of Rosemary's healing properties.

Rosemary

Rosmarinus officinalis

A member of the mint family, it is antibacterial, antiviral, antifungal, antioxidant, analgesic, anti-inflammatory, carminative, rubefacient, emmenagogue, circulatory stimulant.

Rosemary means "dew of the sea". It is from the Mediterranean in origin of home. It does enjoy a dry, hot sandy soil and environment. It is therefore dry and warm in energetic nature. The dried leaves are crushed and used as seasonings in many dishes. Fresh Rosemary is also used if you are blessed to have it. Rosemary oil is used for cooking and also for beauty purposes.

Rosemary Tea

1 tsp Rosemary

1 cup of hot h20

Pour the boiling water over your Rosemary and let it steep. Rosemary has many volatile oils in it. Cover to catch these.

Rosemary tea is great for when you are cold or chilled. For an upset belly, it dispels gas. Use the tea as a final hair rinse to increase circulation to the scalp and kill any dandruff if present. Rosemary is antifungal, remember? It stimulates the growth of the hair. Find Healing Heart Herbs Rosemary Hair Oil HERE

Rosemary essential oil is a great circulatory stimulant, making it great for massaging the fascia and helping to dispel cellulite. It is also an analgesic, making it useful for pain relief. Use it in the bath for a healing treatment. Rosemary will cleanse the body, mind and the spirit!

Rosemary Milk Bath

1 cup of Milk or Cream

10 drops of Rosemary Essential Oil

Soak until your heart's content or until you feel the heat of the Rosemary soak into your bones.

Rosemary is known to increase blood flow to the brain. It is known to stimulate the brain and improve memory functioning. It has been tested in use with dementia and Alzheimer's disease. Ancient Greeks would wear crowns of Rosemary wreaths on their heads during study and examinations to ensure graduation and success with learning. Rosemary stimulates!

Rosemary is known to balance the electrical energies of the body and to cleanse the auric shiels around you. It is burned in the home to cleanse negative energies out. Lower vibrations do not like Rosemary. It is bundled and put under the bed of the sick and convalescent for healing. Rosemary flower essence will help to stimulate your energy, both mentally and physically.

As you can see, Rosemary is a beautiful, healing herb that most people have in the kitchen!

Wishing you Green Blessings!!!

Love,

Herbal Blends For Wildfire Smoke

© Anne Calzada Herbalist

As the Earth heats up and the amount of people on the planet expands, the danger of wildfires is real. Always an issue in the Summertime, it seems that the frequency is increasing. Doing what we can to be responsible and caring for ourselves and the living beings around us is paramount. Plant more trees around you. Nourish and heal your environment. Water the trees and plants that live by. Use water responsibly. Water early in the morning or late in the evening to help preserve the water table and also to increase the plants water uptake. Realize that if you live in the woods or the mountains, that your land is populated with different kinds of wildlife, even if you don't see them. You can always leave out water for them if you would like to. That is compassionate and kind.

The smoke that hangs thick in the air due to wildfires can affect the health of the respiratory system affecting both people and animals. Some people are more sensitive to the smoke than others. Symptoms can include dry red itchy eyes, burning dry nasal tissues, coughing, headaches, lung congestion, sinus infections and even dizziness. Stay hydrated, drink lemon water, eat chilis, onions, garlic, jalapenos, parsley, carrots, apricots, goji berries, watermelon. Use spices such as cinnamon, cayenne and ginger. Add 1000 mg of Vitamin C a day especially if you smoke. Increase yoga and pranayama indoors to strengthen the heart chakra and the immune system. Here are a few practices that you can create that promote respiratory health and wellness.

Healthy Lung Tea Blend

1 part Peppermint

1 part Thyme

1/2 part Spearmint

Blend the herbs together and use 1 tsp per cup of water, The longer you steep the tea, the stronger it becomes. Drink as needed.

Breathe Deep Essential Oil Blend

1 part Eucalyptus EO

1 part Rosemary EO

Blend together and apply on the soles of the feet, especially the toes. Dilute with oil and apply to the chest. Be careful not to burn the skin. Diffuse in the air.

Horehound Honey

Add horehound to a jar with a cinnamon stick and pour honey over it. Steep for one Moon cycle. Strain and use a tsp to a TBSP as needed to expel phlegm and strengthen the lungs.

Sea Salt Eye Rinse

Sea salt is astringent, loaded with minerals and trace minerals. Sea salt is a natural cleansing agent.

Add 1/4 tsp of sea salt to warm water. Stir to dissolve thouroughly. Gently rinse your eyes to cleanse and strengthen them. Repeat as needed.

Thank you for your Love!

Love,

Anne

Herbs For The Brain

© Anne Calzada Herbalist

If I only had a brain...most of us remember this song from the legendary movie The Wizard Of Oz. Actually, that is my favorite movie! In reality though, we all have a brain. All brains function better with certain nutrients and practices. Lets take a look at some basic natural healing for mental prowess!

The first thing that you should do is to throw out any aluminum cookware and use cast iron or steel. Removing all carcinogens from your environment such as aluminum cans, products with chemicals like hair dye, round up weed remover, junk food. Chemicals like red #40, certain cosmetics and body care etc...Try to eat as natural as possible and at home and cook for yourself as much as you possibly can.

Once you clean your life of these toxic influences, then you want to infuse antioxidants, minerals, vitamins, essential fatty acids, supplements and enhance your diet. Start getting adequate daily rest and exercise. If you are prone to insomnia, get some cardio going, then you will have a deeper sleep at night. We have to defrag our subconscious mind during sleep time. We need cardio and circulation to frrd the brain with fresh blood loaded with nutrients, This is where hanging upside down, headstands, handstands and shoulder stands come into play. Nourishing the blood and removing stagnation in the body. Lymphatic fluid and the fascia of the body benefit. Pranayama exercise will saturate the brain and the body with oxygen.

Hydrate, we know this, but it is true. The brain is an electrical organ, relying on the quick action of neural synapses to fire. Water is a conduit and will help to clear toxins, keeping everything lubricated, Essential fatty acids will help in this process as well. Coconut oil, fish oil, hemp oil, flax seed oil etc...a TBSP a day. Get your multivitamin going.

Foods that stimulate brain health are of course all the spicy peppers and onions. All berries. Fish. Walnuts. In the doctrine of signature, they resemble the brain. Walnuts also feed the brain with healthy fats. Probiotics support brain power. Foods heavy in B Vitamins like spinach, kale, beans, eggs, dairy, nutritional yeast and lecithin. The brain enjoys antioxidant herbs like chorella, rosemary, garlic, ginger, cayenne, turmeric, cinnamon, sage, bay, cardamom, pepper.

Gingko...This is my favorite plant for brain power, remembrance. This herb supports circulation to the brain. It also thins the blood, as it is a vasodilator. It helps to break up blood clots as it decreases platelet aggregation and inflammation. It is an antioxidant, stimulating mental faculties. Do not use if pregnant or taking blood thinners.

Gotu Kola ...is an ayurvedic herb, similar to gingko with its properties. It is revered in India for helping brain related trauma such as dementia, Alzheimer's and depression, cognitive reasoning and mental stress. Improve the energetic movement between the right and left hemispheres of the brain.

Rosemary...It is anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial. Stimulates the brain with circulation of the blood and it is a very potent antioxidant. Reduces oxidation in the body. Reduces stress and tension in the nervous system.

Lemon Balm...Another antioxidant and strong antiviral plant. It gladdens the heart. Anti-inflammatory, calming, antispasmodic, elevating the mind. Use for depression, anxiety, insomnia and mental agitation. A great safe healing plant for kids.

Passionflower...Antispasmodic, a cerebral vasorelaxant. Soothes the nervous system, relieving stress, tension, anxiety, depression and emotional upset. It slows and calms the movement of the neurotransmitters for relaxation of the brain.

Essential oils of Frankincense and Sandalwood are the best because they are able to cross the blood brain barrier with super potent antioxidant power. They are also calming for the nervous system. Citrus oils like Grapefruit, Lemon, Orange and Bergamot are potent antioxidants and are very uplifting. They can alleviate nervous system tension, anxiety, depression and sadness.

Smoothie Power

Blueberries

Banana

1 TBSP Lecithin

1 TBSP Nutritional Yeast

1 tsp Chorella or Kelp or Spirulina powder

Orange Juice

Blend and enjoy the energy and antioxidant powers!

Serenitea

2 part Hawthorn Berries

2 part Lemon Balm

1 part Roses

Blend and brew. Throw some in the bathwater as well. Use 1 tsp to 1 cup of water. Enjoy the serene vibrations!

Support your spiritual, mental and emotional well being with counselling or therapy if needed. Some may need medication. Some people are bipolar, manic depressive, schizophrenic and even suicidal. Find constant daily support or a regular routine of therapy. Seek help when necessary. Remember that a thought is just that. A thought. A mindset, a belief. Change your mind, free your mind. Stinking thinking, they call it. Sometimes we need to vent! Find a good friend or therapist. There is help available and there are people who care. Stay positive!

Love, Anne

Herbal Wellness

© By Anne Calzada Herbalist

In the spirit of helping humanity as an Herbalist, I am here to give you some great recommendations and some reminders about your health and wellbeing as a species. Thank you for being here and supporting my work! Please visit for great herbal wellness tools!

HEALING HEART HERBS

Receiving proper nourishment is number one. If you do not have your vitamins and minerals in ample supply within your body, you are malnourished. It will be easier for you to become rundown and more susceptible to microbial activity. Engage with your multivitamins!

Remember Vitamin C? Take a daily dose. Boosts the immune system. Try rosehips, goji berries, oranges or supplement.

Zinc? It fights microbes and strengthens your immune system.

Try pumpkin seeds, oysters, fish or supplement.

Vitamin A? It is antiviral and soothes membranes, supports the immunes system and the respiratory system. Try carrots, spinach, apricots or supplement.

Vitamin D? Get some solar rays with sunglasses off. Allow the light to absorb through your eyes for your pituitary and pineal glands. Through your skin to absorb its healing immune stimulating properties.

Probiotics? Consuming fermented foods is how we build our own colonies. Try kefir, kim chi, saurkraut, miso or supplement.

To give you extra physical energy at anytime, take a B Complex. Try nutritional yeast, eggs, spinach, walnuts, fish.

Stay Hydrated

Sunshine C Tea Blend

4 parts Pine needles

2 part Rosehips

This wild brew is easy to make, especially if you live in the mountains or the woods! You just walk out and harvest. Remember Pine trees and wild roses if you are ever in need of nourishment for survival. All Pine trees are healing and they are full of medicinal properties. They are antiseptic and vitamin C rich. Pine is an edible tree. Blend with rosehips which are classically loaded with vitamin C. Rosehips are totally edible and nourishing. They contain essential fatty acids as well. Blend together and prepare an infusion.

Stress Reduction

Stress can induce sickness. We all need to relax and tune out. Drop out. While you are making tea, you can draw a bath.

Detox Bath Blend

1 part Baking Soda

1 part Sea Salt

Blend together. Add essential oils like eucalyptus, lavender, clary sage, rosemary and pine. Add some amethyst gemstone crystals or black tourmaline to induce calm and removal of negative energy. Add a good cupful into your bath.

Get to sleeping. You are going to need lots of rest and sleep to clear your subconscious from the world. We clear our psychic congestion during sleep.

Food As Medicine

Common herbs to eat and cook with everyday are plants like oregano, thyme, rosemary, marjoram, sage, ginger, onions, peppers and garlic. These are some of the most potent antimicrobial plants around and a lot of you are growing them! If not, they are easy to find fresh at the grocery store and even dried at the dollar stores. Soups, bone broths and stews are great for adding herbs into your diet. Echinacea roots, astragalus roots, garlic cloves, onions, burdock roots, dandelion roots. All of these plants will increase vitality. Spices like cinnamon or clove can be added to yogurt, oatmeal or smoothies.

Turmeric Cinnamon Tea

1 part Turmeric

1/4 part Cinnamon

Blend together and make tea. Sweetened with honey is the best! You can add cream for a beautiful golden milk nightcap. This blend is antiseptic and antiviral. Steeped with milk and honey, it will lull you to sleep. Relax your mind and your muscles. Heal while you sleep.

If you feel like something is trying to take hold, do a shot of my elderberry elixir. you will feel it immediately. Elderberry is antiviral, containing flavonoids, alkaloids and vitamins for healing. It soothes colds, flu, coughing, sinusitis, ear pain, headaches and pressure.

Cleanse The House

Make sure that you are living in a clean house! Get rid of the static that pails up on the table and in the corners. Dust and vacuum. make your home your sanctuary. It is your grand palace, no matter where you live. Smudge yourself and your home. We must cleanse not only physically but energetically as well. Burn the negative energy out.

Infuse essential oils like lavender, lemon, orange, pine, peppermint into the home. add to your diffuser or steam on the stovetop. Blend herbs together on the stove like cinnamon sticks with oranges and ginger root. The house will smell delicious and cozy in no time.

Daily Exercise

Not everyone likes, yoga. This I have earned as a Yoga Teacher! Its all good, There are many exercise practices to try. Swimming, running, wieght lifting, hiking, martial arts etc...Find one that works for you. Walking is the best exercise, it is free and most people can do it. Exercise reduces stress, builds your strength and increase your immunity. Stay flexible.

Say Your Prayers

Ever notice how we pray for what we may want or need? How about praying in gratitude. Thanksgiving for your body, mind and spirit, Your life, your gifts, talents and blessings. Your family and friends. Your animal companions. A roof over your head. Really, we have so much to be grateful for. The Universe only knows YES.

Release The Love

Love is all you need. Love, love, love! Love yourself, Doll! You are the most important living being in this Universe. Without self love you have nothing. Self love, compassionate love, romantic love, unconditional love, true love! Love wins all ways!!!! Your vitamin L uptake is a very important integral part in your healthcare system! Release the love and don't you ever forget that you are it!

Love, Anne

Herbs For The Otherside

© By Anne Calzada Herbalist

Herbs have been used since the beginning of time by many cultures to send the dead on their way home. Deciding which plants or how to use them is up to you. These are a few of the traditional plants that are cherished during the great transition time of death.

Death.

It holds different meanings to many, but we all agree on the fact that the spirit is no longer in the physical body. When a spirit is holding on for whatever reason, you may feel it. If you feel that praying and creating ceremony for this loved one may help, of course. Help on the way.

People have different spiritual and religious beliefs, but we all agree on the power of plants to shift and transform energies into the vibration of the highest good and divine right order.

Here are a few plants that can be burned or buried with your beloveds.

Roses

Marigolds

White Sage

Sagebrush

Lavender

Pine

Calendula

Sweetgrass

Tobacco

Cedar

Yarrow

Palo Santo

Daisy

Lily

Peppermint

Frankincense

Myrhh

Sage

Copal

Sunflower

Bay

Rosemary

Mugwort

And many more...

These plants facilitate movement of energy with a high honor. We are born and we die, but really we are just transforming our energy.

If you would like an herbal blend for a loved one, if you would like your home cleansed and blessed.

Energetic Boundaries

By Anne Calzada Herbalist

Hope you are healthy, happy and holy...

As I write this tonight on the Summer Solstice of 2020, I am in gratitude as all ways for my heartbeat and life form on the planet in the vibration of now.

Life is good and precious.

There is quite a bit of rumbling about in the world today, but when has that never been? We are getting better everyday and we have since humanity was born. Look for the beauty, the joy, the gifts in your life. Do not allow negative energy from others. Do not agree to that. You will be happer, darlings!!! Focus only on what you want. Do not waste your precious life force on the rumblings...unless of course, this is your desire.

What are some ways that you can use to clear your energetic realm?

Do not engage with lower vibrations!

Don't break the Universal laws!

Respect

Love

Compassion

Be alone

Nature

Sunshine

Prayer is my first go to! I am involved with the Angelic realm. I Love Jesus Christ. For me, the most highest of Love, light and energy and always works!!!!

Able to transmute energy in the blink of an eye....in the exhale of a breath.

That is POWER!

Go to what belief that opens your heart and gives you Love, light and POWER!

When I feel that I need to take a more active role in the physical cleansing of my space, I do it.

The house gets smudged at least once a week. Use whatever you want! White Sage, Sage, Mugwort, Sagebrush, Sweetgrass, Cedar, Roses, Peppermint, Copal, Palo Santo, Lavender. Maybe you even use other plants and trees.

Sea salt is purifying. Make a holy water. Put a TBSP of sea salt in 2 ounce spray bottle. Pray over it and explain your intention. Use for consecrating and uplifting the vibration.

Rid lower, darker vibes OUT!

Remember that equal parts of sea salt and baking soda thrown into the bath is detoxifying. Physically and psychically.

Write it down and burn it!

Write it down and freeze it!

Write it down and bury it!

Write it down and flush it!

What calls to you at this time?

Always be sure that the house is clean. Dont forget your feng shui! A clean bathroom and kitchen! Clean your drawers and closets! Take the trash out!

Literally and figuritively!

Ruminate in the good, Angels!!!

May you have a beautiful new Moon in Cancer...6/21/2020

Floating between eclipses and summer breezes....

The world may be falling apart, but yours doesnt have to!!!

Blessed Be

Love, Anne

Herbs vs.Virus

With the pandemic spread of the coronavirus and more so the fear of it, so many people have asked me about it.

Here are some herbal tools that you can add to your apothecary!

Microbes live within us and we are exposed to them daily. Most of the time, we are in a healthy and balanced state. Sometimes, however, our immunity is compromised. Learn to boost your health.

Stay hydrated!

Drink lots of water. Juice, tea and broths.

Take a multivitamin and 1000 mg of Vitamin C a day.
Probiotics can be taken as a supplement or eat foods that are high in probiotics. Optimally, do both.

Nourish your body with food.

Add garlic, ginger, cinnamon, cayenne and turmeric to your dishes.

Take aromatherapy baths with essential oils.

Use eucalyptus, lavender or rosemary. They are antiviral, stimulate circulation and cleanse the aura.

Use your breath and mind to calm your body, mind and spirit. Meditate on what you want.

Repeat the mantra and affirm "I am totally healthy".

Make yourself some herbal tea blends.

Here are a few to get you started.

Herbal Infused Fudge

Making fudge for the holidays is classic. Perhaps making it for a chocolate lover is always the best time! Why not get some medicinal value from these sweet treats as you enjoy them.

There are different ways and methods of infusing herbs into this recipe.

Basic Fudge Recipe

1 bag of semisweet chocolate chips

1 can of sweetened condensed milk

1/4 cup of butter

Melt carefully together and stir completely to blend.

Pour into your buttered or greased mold and refrigerate overnight. Pop out of the mold and cut into squares or desired shapes.

You can add walnuts or almonds.

You can even sprinkle crushed candy canes on top!

So if you want to add herbs into your blend, here is an example.

Infuse Lavender flowers into the milk. On the lowest temp, you can do this on the stove.

If you don't have Lavender flowers then you can use essential oil. Simply add 1 or 2 drops depending on preference to the final stirring and before pouring into the mold.

See the difference in using herbal medicines?

If you have Cannabis infused butter, you can make

Cannabis Fudge!

Maybe some Rose petals sprinkled on top?

What about Mint Fudge?

Cinnamon infused?

White chocolate?

The possibilities are endless.

Wishing you a Blessed Holiday and Gratitude for your support of

HEALING HEART HERBS
