Did you know that the mint in your kitchen could actually calm your nerves and support your digestion?

Or maybe other often, often, and that so many of our other herbs that we grow for culinary purposes

actually have medicinal purposes as well. Well, today I'm going back into the archives for the

Best of Growing Joy series to bring back an

amazing conversation that I had with Juliet of chestnut herbs to discuss how everyday plants like

mint, basil, and rosemary can be powerful allies in your wellness routine. Boy, this conversation

changed how I looked at my herb garden, and I started making a lot of teas

out of the plants that we discussed.

So I hope you enjoy this conversation.

And of course, a brief disclaimer that Juliet nor I are doctors, please consult your

physicians and brew your own tea at your own risk.

But I love that Juliet focuses on safety and how to

understand plant energetics and turn your garden into a gorgeous source of healing.

Welcome to the Growing Joy with Plants podcast, where we not only learn how to care for plants successfully,

but how to simply and affordably use our plant babies to cultivate more joy in our lives by doing so.

I'm Maria, former plant killer turned happy plant lady, author of Growing Joy, The Plant Lover's Guide to Cultivating Happiness,

speaker, podcaster, and most importantly, your new

best plant friend. On growing joy with plants, you'll find conversations about house plant care,

gardening tutorials, and wellness through the lens of plants.

Plant care is self-care on growing joy.

Hi, thanks for having me.

I'm excited to be here.
