Grounding + Centering with Valerian. These little roots offer us so much more than sleep.

Today, more harvesting of Valerian roots!

These stinky, perfumey, tiny roots take a while to gather, but, are pleasant to be around none the less. 




The ground has been very moist this week, so aside from the mud sticking between the roots, it has been a very easy harvest. 

It has been so nice to be digging in the dirt again. 

One of my most favorite sensations in the world is how tingly my hands and feet feel once they are covered by a dry coat of mineral rich mud after a day in the garden.
