Herbs and their uses/random information!

Hello!!! Sorry for the lack of content—but I’m back! It’s me, the one and only finthetin! Haha; anyways… I have come bearing the gift of random information!

These are some herbs that I like to use in my craft whenever possible! I’m also going to add that this is not an all encompassing list, and this list will be broken into multiple parts! We are starting with the letter B; because I love Bees!! 🐝

Let’s go!

I’m going to start trying to post semi regularly..

Basil:

Basil is in the same family as mint, rosemary, and lavender. Did you know that there are over 60 species of basil? The two “main” species are Thai and Sweet Basil, with Sweet Basil being the more common out of the two.

Basil has had a mixed reputation throughout history! In the Victorian Language of Flowers, it symbolizes hatred. To the ancient Greeks, it represented mourning and was even called sileus phuton(?) which translates to “kingly herb.” In medieval times, Basil was even more convoluted in meanings! Some claimed it could cure scorpion bites, and others thought that it was actually poisonous! At various other points in history, it was called a “devil’s plant,” but, it’s still associated with Scorpio and Scorpions to this day!

This plant is likely native to Asia and Africa. Basil flowers are typically white!

Bergamot:

This is also known as Bee Balm, High Balm, Low Balm, mountain balm, Oswego tea, horsemint, wild bergamot, and mountain mint!

This plant is native to North America.

You can make a drink with this plant! Did you know, that the Oswego tribe made a drink with the red variety of Bergamot (Monarda didyma)! And when the colonists boycotted British tea, they turned to the bergamot drink made by the native people as an alternative. Speaking of, the Iroquois and Tewa tribes also valued the herbaceous plant; but correct me if I’m wrong!!

This plant also symbolizes good health, protection from illness, and prosperity!

Borage:

In the Victorian Language of Flowers, Borage stands for bluntness. This plant is native to the Mediterranean; and it is a self-seeding annual plant! This is also known as bee bread, or star flower (sometimes written as starflower), and Bugloss is also a common name. The star shaped flowers are a sky blue and hang in drooping clusters; the leaves are a grayish-green! If you like cucumbers, you might like this plant too!! It has the smell and taste reminiscent to that of a cucumber.

Both the leaves and stalks have a bristly fuzz that helps shield them from insects.

Borage stems can replace celery in potato salad; and the flowers can make an attractive edible garnish! You can make iced Borage tea, with lemon juice and honey—that’s very refreshing on warm sunny days!!

Borage will also attract bees to your garden!
