Vervain
A staple of the ancient apothecary, vervain (Verbena officinalis) is a botanical steeped in lore and legendary for its ability to "unknott" the spirit. Often referred to as the "enchanter's plant," it was historically used to seal oaths and protect sacred spaces. In the EVOKE framework, Vervain is our premier ally for those who push themselves to the limit—offering a cooling, grounding influence to a high-performance lifestyle.

-
The Ritual Bath: Add a strong infusion of Vervain to your bath water to "wash away" the stresses of the day and reset your energetic field.
