♏️ Scorpio Season: Herbs for Cleansing the Blood 🩸
It’s Scorpio season! Cue the spooky music… 🎶 🫣
We are now a third of the way into the Sun’s journey through Scorpio. Scorpio is all about the cycles of life, death, 💀 and renewal.
In astrology, Scorpio is a sign that doesn’t like to let go. Think of a snake 🐍 coiling around its prey; once it grabs hold, it won’t release.
In the body, Scorpio energy tends to cling to things especially toxins.
Scorpio’s ancient ruler, Mars, is connected to the blood, and this is where toxins tend to accumulate first. So, during this season, one of the best things we can do is help the body detox and release what no longer serves us.
This is where a class of herbs, called alterative herbs, can be helpful . Alterative herbs work over time to clear toxins, especially from the blood🩸 . One of my favorite herbs for this season is nettle.
Nettle is a tonic herb that’s full of nutrients.
In astroherbalism 💫 , a tonic herb strengthens and nourishes the body over time. Many tonic herbs 🌿 are considered weeds. They grow fast, absorbing nutrients from the soil, which is why they are so nutrient-dense.
So, while we’re in the midst of Scorpio’s ♏️ energy, let’s nurture ourselves too. As we reflect on the deeper mysteries of life, let’s also honor our own vitality by getting to know nourishing herbs like nettle and adding them into our routine.
STAY WELL. 🍋

Scorpio season, which runs from late October to late November, offers a unique opportunity to reflect on life's cycles of transformation. The connection between Mars and blood detoxification underscored in astroherbalism highlights the importance of addressing toxins. Nettle, a powerful alterative herb, not only supports blood health but also is rich in vitamins and minerals essential for bodily function. Integrating nettle into your diet can be as simple as adding it to teas, soups, or smoothies, enhancing your daily wellness routine. Other beneficial herbs include dandelion and burdock, which similarly help cleanse the body and promote optimal health. Embracing herbal support during this season helps align with Scorpio's deep, transformative nature, fostering overall balance and vitality. Remember to consult with a healthcare provider before starting any new herbal regimen, especially if you have underlying health conditions or are pregnant. Stay connected with nature, trust the process of renewal, and take advantage of the powerful energies that Scorpio season brings to foster a deeper connection with your personal health journey.
