When you’re not sure if you need a nap, a salad, or to completely reinvent your life
Let’s talk about that weird part of the year.
You know—the one where it’s still summer but your brain’s like “fall is coming,” and your body’s just... tired.
You’re restless but unmotivated. Inspired but scattered.
You look at your planner and think: “Absolutely not.”
This, my friend, is Late Summer Energy. And yes, there are herbs for that.
🌾 What’s Actually Happening Right Now?
Energetically, late summer is a liminal space.
It’s the earth season in Traditional Chinese Medicine—associated with digestion, nourishment, transition, and grounding.
But here in modern life, it often shows up as:
-
Brain fog or lack of focus
-
Procrastination (even on things you want to do)
-
Craving routine but rebelling against it
-
Emotional sensitivity (hi, tears at dog food commercials)
So no, it’s not just you. And no, you don’t need to “push through.” You need to ground, nourish, and align.
🌿 Herbs to Support the Late Summer Shift
🌿 Goldenrod
The ultimate “stand tall” plant. Goldenrod helps us align our energy vertically—think posture, presence, personal power.
-
Energetic vibe: Confident transition and full bloom energy
-
How to work with it: Tincture or flower essence for emotional clarity and balance
🍋 Lemon Balm
Bright, fresh, and gently uplifting. Lemon balm soothes nervous tension and helps you find joy in the in-between.
-
Energetic vibe: Soft reset for your mind
-
How to work with it: Tea, tincture, or infused honey (divine)
🌿 Ashwagandha
Your anti-burnout ally. This adaptogen helps your body adapt to stress, boost resilience, and improve focus.
-
Energetic vibe: Calm strength + rootedness
-
How to work with it: Best as a daily powder or capsule (it’s in our bulk herbs too!)
🌿 Rosemary
Revitalizes a foggy mind and reconnects you with your purpose. This herb is sacred to memory, spirit, and clarity.
-
Energetic vibe: “Let’s remember who TF we are”
-
How to work with it: Steeped tea, infused oil, or simmer on the stove for a mental boost
🍵 Ritual Tea for Seasonal Clarity
This one’s herbal self-care with an edge. Sip it while journaling, planning, or just not spiraling for once.
Ingredients:
-
1 part lemon balm
-
1 part goldenrod
-
½ part rosemary
-
Optional: Ashwagandha root (add to decoction or capsule on the side)
To use:
Steep for 10–15 mins. Sip slowly. Let clarity return on its own time.
🔮 Optional Ritual: Light Your Way
Before you drink your tea, light a candle and say:
“I honor the space between.
I don’t need all the answers to take the next step.
I am grounded, whole, and growing.”
You can pair this ritual with a crystal (fluorite or carnelian work beautifully here) and a little journaling if you’re into that sort of thing.
