New Moon and its influence on herbs

Today the New Moon is rising - a new beginning and the influence on herbs

🌑Herbs of the New and growing Crescent Moon are excellent for most any remedy-making endeavour as the power of the brew will grow with the Moon’s waxing. Remedies such as stimulating brews, warming bitters, energising nerviness, restoratives, alternatives, and remedies for new beginnings, for children, and to jump start vitality are especially auspicious.

🌑Traditionally, the New Moon is a time of hot and moist herbs. The tradition I am referring to is Greek medicine with its four element system of earth, air, fire, and water and its corresponding qualities (or energies) of cold, dry, hot, and moist. The Moon was linked to the seasons of the solar year.
