These are the herbs I picked:

St Johns Wort: Grows in the peak summer heat and only blooms when the sun is blazing, she holds a big pack of sunny energy and is known as a classic depressant herb that lifts the mood. 

 

Lemon Balm:  Also a summer herb, this soothing and delicious plant helps calm the nervous system and ease anxiety and restlessness, plus it holds the energy of resilience and proliferation- in the summer months this herb grows very actively and ease-fully. 

 

Calendula:  This sunny herb looks like a ray of sun. It's grows from June-Fall and holds the solar power of renewal while being deeply restorative. It's also great for stomach issues, digestion, skin health, and overall restoration of the body and mind. 

 

Tulsi (Holy Basil): This herb is an adaptogen, which means it helps you adapt -in Ayurveda it's known as a rejuvenating adaptogen. Tulsi is also helps regulate neurotransmitters like serotonin and dopamine indirectly, which can help stabilize your mood!
