🌼 My Homemade Herbal Tea Blend – From Garden to Jar🌼
Over the past few weeks, I’ve been slowly harvesting small batches of herbs from my garden — calendula blossoms, sprigs of thyme, and sweet basil leaves. Today, I finally created a beautiful blend from them, and I couldn’t be more proud. It’s a small jar, but it holds the energy of the sun, the care I put into growing each plant, and the deep intention behind every step.
🌿 Harvesting & Drying the Herbs
I harvested everything on a dry morning, just after the dew had lifted. Calendula was in full bloom, glowing with bright orange petals that seemed to hold sunlight. The thyme and basil were lush and fragrant, ready to be snipped.
After harvesting, I gently cleaned the herbs and left them to air dry in a cool, shaded area with good airflow. I’ve learned that patience is key — drying slowly helps preserve not only the color and aroma, but also the healing properties.

Once dried, I ground them lightly using a mortar and pestle — just enough to break them down and blend their textures, while still keeping some of the structure. The result is a mix that smells like summer and feels like magic.

🍵 Why These Herbs?
Calendula – Known for its gut and skin-healing properties, calendula is anti-inflammatory, soothing, and supportive of the lymphatic system. Spiritually, it’s associated with heart healing and solar energy.
Basil – A gentle digestive aid and calming herb, basil lifts the spirit and brings clarity. Energetically, it’s linked to abundance, purification, and protection.
Thyme – Antibacterial, antiviral, and anti-fungal, thyme supports the immune system and clears out what no longer serves — both physically and energetically.

This blend isn’t just tea — it’s medicine, both for the body and the soul.
🔮 Charging the Blend with Crystal Energy
Because this blend is as much about intention and energy as it is about physical healing, I also like to charge it with crystals. After blending, I placed the jar on my selenite charging plate for several hours.
Selenite is known for its cleansing and high-vibrational properties — it clears stagnant energy and infuses objects with clarity and light. By placing the jar on the plate, I’m giving this blend an energetic boost, aligning it with peace, healing, and inner balance.
I love doing this when I create anything handmade or for ritual use. It turns the process into a sacred act — a moment of devotion to myself and to the healing path I’m on.

✨ From Dream to Reality (One Jar at a Time)
This blend is just a small beginning, but it carries the seed of a much bigger dream: to one day have my own home, a little greenhouse, and shelves filled with jars of herbs I've grown and dried myself. Even though I’m not there yet, this moment — this tea — makes it feel closer.
Would you try a blend like this? Have you made your own herbal tea before?
I’d love to hear from you. Let’s keep growing, creating, and healing together 🌿
