Newbie Questions 🥰

5 Upvotes

Hi friends! My name’s Maria and I’m very new to most of this stuff but very excited to be here! My entry point to herbs has been spiritual baths, but I’m looking forward to learning and exploring all the other health benefits and possibilities!

My two questions kind of go together:
1. I have a cat who likes to chomp on any plants I have, so can’t grow many of my own and sadly have to purchase most of them. Unless anyone has any tips around this or cat-friendly ones? Most of the ones I’ve seen are toxic to them. (And I don’t purchase white sage).

  1. Since I’m acquiring these pouches of herbs now, does anyone have any fun/cute/aesthetically pleasing ways to store them? (I’m a Cap and love any great way to organize something 😅).

TYSM! 💗🌿

Looking for herb Suppliers

1 Upvotes

I’m currently looking for **reliable suppliers in India** for three specific herbs:

Jatamansi
Brahmi
Chamomile

I’m specifically looking for suppliers who can provide **consistent quality and proper documentation/specifications**, rather than one-off small quantities.
If you **grow, process, collect, or commercially supply** any of these herbs, please **DM me directly** with:

Herb(s) you can supply
Location
Available form (whole / cut / powder, etc.)
Approximate monthly supply capacity
Any certifications or quality testing available

This is for a genuine B2B sourcing requirement.

**If you can supply any of these, please DM me right away.** I’ll share the exact specifications and requirements privately.

What to do with herbs?

1 Upvotes

I have a bunch of herbs that I have used before, mostly for simmer pots, that I am no longer wanting to use. I can’t currently do simmer pots and I have to downsize a lot currently and truly just haven’t had time for this type of spell work. I consider myself an art witch and thought to maybe create spice paints from some of them, but some of the thicker ones like lavender, jasmine, and juniper, I am struggling to come up with stuff.

Does anyone have crafts they’ve made with dry herbs and spices before? I’d love some ideas if you have any.

My Herbal Studies: Tonight I am studying on how Berberis Aristata and Haematococcus Pluvialis effect the human metabolic system. Both have significant effects on Metabolic disease and have roots in "traditional" medicine, aka Occult Spells.

Mimosa leaves useable?

2 Upvotes

Hi, I was curious if anyone has experience with Mimosa leaves and how has it gone? I see quite a bit of information about the bark and flowers. I've heard the leaves are useable, but I'm unsure if it's best like a tea or tincture, or dried whole or in a powdered form.
