Rose: We have a wonderful wild


rose variety here in Maine, Rosa Rugosa. The petals are mildly sedative and anti- depressant. I use this often when there is heartache and sadness. It’s very uplifting, but also calming.


Hemp Cannabidiol: The Cannabis sa-


tiva plant has literally saved my life. It is the Mother plant in my opinion, and has way too much to offer to list it all here. It is won- derful for mood and anxiety as it simply assists the body’s endocannabinoid system in balancing to a state of homeostasis. It calms the nervous system, it brings a sense of presence and peace into our being.


These are just a few of my favorites!


As you can see, I focused on emotional wellness most as this has been the most important in my experience. Utilizing these plant allies for ourselves and our families is empowering, sustainable, SAFE, and the healthiest possible option. These combined with a healthy and nutritious food intake, exercise, connecting with nature (even when it’s cold) and lots of love and com- passion are sure to help you stay strong and ready for these winter months. It’s time to take your family’s health into your own hands!
