Blue vervain is a member of the verbena family with a history of use that dates to ancient Egypt. Historically, the herb has been used to ease congestion and cough. In fact, blue vervain was used to prevent medieval peasants from becoming victims of plague. To the Iroquois, a cold infusion of the leaf was a sure-fire way to make an obnoxious person go away. But to eastern European pagans, the same would draw true love near.
The dried herb is edible but bitter, and may be added to teas, salads and soups. It can also be infused in oil or tinctured and added to lotions, creams, soaps, ointments, facial toners and perfumes.

Blue vervain was once a familiar plant to ancient herbalists but its popularity has declined over the centuries, although it remains an exceptional garden plant. Because the herb was an ingredient in love potions and worn as a charm to encourage the return of love lost, it is a traditional flower in bridal wreaths.
Historically various Native American tribes used blue vervain internally to increase urine output and externally to counter skin eruptions and to assist the healing of wounds. Military surgeons adopted the latter practice during the American Revolution.
The effects of blue vervain are due to a number of active constituents, most notably an iridoid glycoside called aucubin. Collectively, iridoid agents serve plants by providing a line of chemical defense from pathogens. Aucubin is one of two of the most common iridoids that occur in plants; the other is catalpol.
Background: Vervain and its many varieties have been used historically by ancient Roman priests in sacrifices and as a general alter plant. Druids, magicians and sorcerers utilized it in their rites and incantations. It was worn around the neck as a charm for general good luck.
Description: Blue Vervain is native to Europe, China and Japan, Common Vervain is often found growing by roadsides and in pastures. It is a perennial plant bearing many small, pale-lilac flowers. Blue Vervain, a variety of Common Vervain, is indigenous to the United States and North America.

I care about my family, yes I said family. I don't see customers, I see new friends and family. If you don't have funds to buy, that's ok come hang with us and soak up some good energy! I strive to find all natural and organic herbs, teas and oils. Listen to my people and find what they are looking for if it is not already in the store. Keep up with vendor sites and pre-order new releases of books and decks to make sure you get to see the newest items as fast as possible.
Absolutely amazing energy! This store has everything I needed to get started on my spiritual journey. The owner Heather and the boy she had helping her were truly kind and helpful during my visit. The best part was the extensive collection of books and tarot decks she had in the library area. If you are into this kind of thing you have just got to visit.

As I was on my journey for my own spiritual enlightenment I discovered there were very few places to help me. I wanted to make the journey for others to travel easier and Mystical Moon was born. It has grown from a small traveling vendor show setup to what are we today.
