Herbs for the 9 Planets
w/ Luminaries and Zodiac Signs



Excellent herbs had our fathers of old-- 
Excellent herbs to ease their pain-- 
Alexanders and Marigold, 
Eyebright, Orris, and Elecampane-- 
Basil, Rocket, Valerian, Rue, 
(Almost singing themselves as they run) 
Vervain, Dittany, Call-me-to-you-- 
Cowslip, Melilot, Rose of the Sun. 
Anything green that grew out of the mould 
Was an excellent herb to our fathers of old.



  If you have a condition you are treating with herbs or just enjoy a good cup of herbal tea to perk you up this is a good area to research. (See chart below).

It has been said, and it makes a lot of sense when you think about it, to use the herbs that are intimately associated with your body through your ruling planets and Astrological signs.

Drinking these is a very sensible thing to do as they boost the healing properties in your own body because of the synergistic aspect of the different elements of the body at a soul and cellular level.

Good sippin' and good health!
