Blue Vervain

Vervain has often been used by herbalists as a nervine, meaning an herb that calms the nervous system. It's typically used as a tea for stress relief, anxiety, mood swings, and sometimes symptoms of depression. It is also anti-parasitic!

The benefits of blue vervain for your mood are thought to come from a compound called verbenalin. It has calming and sleep-promoting properties that ease stress and frayed nerves. (4) Vervain also has an uplifting effect on mood and won't make you groggy.

Not many studies have been done on vervain, but one from 2016 confirmed its anxiolytic (anti-anxiety) properties as well as anticonvulsant activity that could be helpful for seizures and epilepsy. (5)

One of the most traditional benefits of blue vervain is aiding nursing mothers by stimulating breastmilk production.

While vervain isn't one of the top herbs for pain relief, it does have properties that help to ease headaches, menstrual cramps, and inflammation.

Studies have shown that it has anti-inflammatory and pain-relieving properties when used topically as well as orally. (6)(7) Drinking vervain as a tea (maybe with some peppermint to cover its bitterness) can be especially great for relieving the tension that comes with headaches and your menstrual cycle as well as the pain.

Along with easing cramps, vervain can help you with the bloating and water retention that frequently show up together. Its calming effects will also have a positive effect on your mood during PMS.

The bitter compounds in blue vervain have special benefits for your liver and kidneys. Both of these are important parts of the natural detoxification system your body has in place.

Everything that enters into your body will eventually pass through your liver, which plays a big role in breaking down and processing toxins so that they can be eliminated. Your kidneys, intestines, and skin provide pathways for these toxins to exit your body.

This means that liver and kidney health are essential to prevent the harmful accumulation of toxic compounds.

The bitterness of vervain stimulates liver function while other compounds in the herb work to protect and strengthen the liver. It's also a diuretic, which means it helps flush out toxins through the urinary tract and supports kidney function.

The bitter compounds in vervain that support your liver also stimulate and support healthy digestion. They do this by sending a signal to increase saliva, bile, and enzyme production. All three of these are important for properly digesting food.

The antispasmodic and anti-inflammatory nature of vervain also helps to calm digestive upset and cramping. In animal studies, vervain extract has been shown to heal gastric damage. (7)
