Many herbalists prescribe vervain tea as a stimulant, astringent, diuretic and diaphoretic. However, use of vervain is not recommended for pregnant women, as well as those in lactation as vervain is an abortifacient and an oxytocic agent.
To make vervain tea, pour boiling water over 1.5 grams of finely chopped vervain herb, and steep for 5 to 10 minutes. Strain then drink.
What is Blue Vervain? Blue Vervain is a modest little herb growing in the wild waste places of the Intermountain West. Despite the inconspicuous nature of its little lilac-blue flowers, Vervain was the foremost magical herb of antiquity. It was a vital ingredient of magic potions and was believed to heal everything "and more." Healers used it to ignite and reignite the fires of love. The ancient Romans sprinkled infusions of it in banqueting halls to make their guests merrier. Vervain was also considered an herb of peace and often used as a flag of truce between warring factions.
