This pretty little flower is vervain (Verbena officinalis), and it native to Europe and the U.K.. It is an excellent bitter nervine, with relaxing and anti-anxiety properties. I tend to work with vervain where there is anxiety and stress in people who have a harsh inner critic that drives them to be a bit of a perfectionist. Vervain is especially helpful if there is accompanying digestive disturbance and irritability. Such a lot from a tiny flower - isn’t nature amazing?!
