Now that you know what this plant can do, here’s how to safely harvest and use it in your daily life.
✔️ Soft, fuzzy heart-shaped leaves
✔️ Tiny purple flowers clustered at the top
✔️ Often grows in patches during spring or fall
📍 Look for it in gardens, fields, roadsides (away from pesticides!)
🕗 Harvest in the morning when it’s dry and clean.
🧊 Soothing poultice
Crush fresh leaves and apply to bites, rashes, or small wounds for fast relief.
☕ Gentle detox tea
Steep a handful of fresh or dried leaves in hot water for 10 minutes. Drink once or twice a day.
🧴 Healing balm
Infuse the plant in olive oil for 2 weeks, strain, and mix with beeswax to create a healing salve for dry skin, eczema, or cuts.
🍲 Edible green
Mix into soups, eggs, or smoothies for a vitamin-rich boost!
Avoid using large amounts if you’re allergic to mint-family plants (like mint, basil, or lavender).
Always test on a small patch of skin before using topically.
Harvest respectfully: leave enough for pollinators and the ecosystem 🌸🐝
