Yes I want a simple life. I want to live in a cottage, have a homestead and grow all my fruits and vegetables, and also forage in the woods for fruits veggies and herbs. Sew all my clothing with organic cotton and linen. Hang dry all my clothes outside, Bake homemade bread every week, cook all my food from scratch, seeing cute little deer run around in the wilderness, and bunnies hop around. frolic in the fields of the meadow I live near. Just live a life ingrained in nature and following my true will 🎀

I see trees of green
Red roses too
I see them bloom
For me and for you
And I think to myself
What a wonderful world
I see skies of blue
And clouds of white
The bright blessed day
The dark sacred night
And I think to myself
What a wonderful world
The colors of the rainbow
So pretty in the sky
Are also on the faces
Of people going by
I see friends shaking hands
Saying, "How do you do?"
They're really saying
"I love you"
I hear babies cry
I watch them grow
They'll learn much more
Than I'll ever know
And I think to myself
What a wonderful world
Yes, I think to myself
What a wonderful world
Ooh yeah

The Therapeutic Benefits of Vervain: A Phytochemical Perspective
Tumblr media Tumblr media
As you stroll along the roadsides during these hot summer days, you might notice clusters of small plants adorned with beautiful purple flowers gathered in an inflorescence.
This charming plant is Verbena officinalis known for its medicinal properties and widespread use in herbal remedies. However, it’s important to remember not to harvest these plants from potentially contaminated urban areas. Instead, use this as an opportunity to learn how to recognize Verbena in various environments.
Introduction to Vervain
Verbena, commonly referred to as vervain, belongs to the Verbenaceae family. It has been used in traditional medicine for centuries across different cultures. The most commonly utilized species include Verbena officinalis and Verbena hastata. These plants are renowned for their therapeutic potential, attributed to a rich array of phytochemicals.
Phytochemical Composition
Verbena is a treasure trove of bioactive compounds. The primary phytochemicals contributing to its medicinal properties include:
1. Iridoid Glycosides
These are one of the most significant groups of compounds found in Verbena. Verbenalin and hastatoside are notable iridoids that exhibit anti-inflammatory, analgesic, and sedative properties.
2. Flavonoids
Compounds like luteolin, apigenin, and their glycosides are abundant in Verbena. Flavonoids are well-known for their antioxidant activity, which helps in reducing oxidative stress and preventing chronic diseases.
3. Phenylpropanoids
Verbascoside is a prominent phenylpropanoid glycoside in Verbena. It has demonstrated antimicrobial, anti-inflammatory, and antioxidant activities.
4. Triterpenoids
Oleanolic acid and ursolic acid are triterpenoids present in Verbena, contributing to its anti-inflammatory and hepatoprotective effects.
Therapeutic Benefits
1. Anti-inflammatory and Analgesic Effects
The iridoid glycosides and triterpenoids in Verbena significantly reduce inflammation and pain. This makes Verbena a useful remedy for conditions like arthritis and other inflammatory disorders.
2. Antioxidant Properties
The flavonoids and phenylpropanoids in Verbena scavenge free radicals, protecting the body from oxidative damage. This action is crucial in preventing diseases such as cancer and cardiovascular ailments.
3. Antimicrobial Activity
Verbena exhibits antimicrobial properties against a range of pathogens. This is primarily due to verbascoside and flavonoids, which inhibit the growth of bacteria and fungi, making Verbena beneficial for treating infections.
4. Sedative and Anxiolytic Effects
Iridoid glycosides, especially verbenalin, have been shown to possess mild sedative and anxiolytic effects. This makes Verbena helpful in managing stress, anxiety, and insomnia.
5. Hepatoprotective Action
The triterpenoids in Verbena contribute to its hepatoprotective effects, safeguarding the liver from damage and improving its function.
Conclusion
Verbena is more than just a roadside attraction; it is a plant rich in bioactive compounds that offer a plethora of health benefits.
Its anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, antimicrobial, and sedative properties make it a valuable addition to herbal medicine.
However, caution must be exercised when harvesting this plant to avoid contamination. Proper identification and sourcing from clean environments ensure that Verbena can be safely used to harness its therapeutic potential.

maybe the reason I keep procrastinating my next oil painting has more to do with the fact that the venn diagram of things I'm interested in painting vs. things I want to put on the wall in my living room has a very narrow overlap

I’m currently visiting family out of state and we went to the local Home Depot to peruse the garden section since it was luscious and full of all these wonderful flowers. They don’t have flowers like this where I live (since I currently reside in a desert), so I felt like I was in a cottagecore wonderland.
Twas truly magnificent!
