When I'm not feeling sunny inside, I turn to calendula. Calendula's beautiful sunshine petals gently guide me back to myself. Her bright golden petals are a natural mood enhancer and the perfect plant medicine for when you're feeling sad.

In this month's plant profile, I want to talk with you about something that technically isn't a plant but plays a vital role in plant medicine. This sticky, sweet golden nectar carries the warmth of a summer's kiss, a melody of sweetness that dances on the tongue and lingers like a whispered promise.
