Wholesale Blue Vervain Herb C/S - Certified Organic | 4oz

Blue vervain, a member of the verbena family, boasts a storied history dating back to ancient Egypt. Traditionally used to alleviate congestion and cough, it also served as a preventative measure against the plague in medieval times. Among the Iroquois, a cold infusion of its leaves was believed to repel unpleasant individuals, while eastern European pagans thought it attracted true love. Despite its bitter taste, the dried herb is edible and finds its way into teas, salads, and soups. Additionally, it can be infused into oils or tinctured for inclusion in various skincare products like lotions, creams, soaps, and perfumes. Suggested Use: Intended for further processing.
