In ancient times, civilizations and Lunar Cults across the globe worshipped lunar deities and incorporated lunar symbolism into their religious and spiritual practices.
From the Greek goddess Selene to the Egyptian god Thoth, the moon was often venerated as a divine entity, embodying feminine qualities of intuition, mystery, and cyclical renewal.
In magickal traditions, the moon's phases and movements were closely observed and utilized in rituals and spellcraft to amplify the efficacy of magical workings and enhance spiritual connection.

I want to share in this article the power of the moon as it pertains to lunar plants. Before we can really get into the incredible healing capabilities of lunar herbs, we have to get to know the power of Moon Water.
Because once you see how the moon affects your constitution, you’ll be able to make better choices as to what to purchase to help with your “lunar ailments”.
What is Moon Water
Moon water is water that has been charged or infused with the energy of the moon. It's typically made by placing a container of water outside under the light of the moon, allowing it to absorb the lunar energy overnight.
Some people also add crystals or herbs to the water to enhance its properties. Moon water is holds “the energetic imprint of the moon” and can be used in rituals, spells, or simply as a way to connect with the natural cycles of the moon.
By why does the moon matter when it comes to healing?
The moon holds significant importance in healing practices due to its association with cycles, energy, and transformation. And if keep a moon journal, we can see how the moon influences us every 2.5 days as it retreats in a specific zodiac sign.
In addition:
+ The moon goes through distinct phases, such as the new moon, waxing moon, full moon, and waning moon. Each phase is believed to have unique energetic qualities that influence different aspects of healing. For example, the full moon is often associated with heightened energy and illumination, making it a powerful time for releasing negative emotions or setting intentions for healing.
+ The gravitational pull of the moon affects the tides of the Earth's oceans, and has a similar influence on the subtle energies within our bodies. During certain lunar phases, the energetic flow within us may be amplified or altered, making it an opportune time for healing practices such as energy work, meditation, or ritual.
+ The moon holds symbolic significance across cultures and spiritual traditions, representing themes of intuition, femininity, and cyclicality. By aligning with the lunar cycles through rituals or ceremonies, individuals can tap into this symbolism to deepen their connection with themselves, nature, and the healing process.
+ Many people feel a deep emotional and spiritual connection to the moon, finding solace, guidance, and inspiration in its phases. Engaging in healing practices that honor the moon can provide a sense of comfort, empowerment, and alignment with one's inner wisdom and intuition.
Overall, the moon serves as a potent symbol and source of energy in healing, offering a framework for understanding cycles, fostering connection, and facilitating transformation on emotional, spiritual, and energetic levels.
But what else?
While many folks from all around the world follow the moon and use its luminescent energy to charge talisman, amulets, crystals, water, etc… as well as use it in a specific manner as it passes through each zodiac sign, but the power of the moon goes beyond its moonlight and the transits.
What Are Lunar Plants
I recently created a Mugwort and Oatstraw Moon Water that really made my jaw drop. Being someone with a ton of Air Energy in my astrological chart (thanks Mercury and Gemini), my alchemical constitution is very DRY — not to mention, I carry a lot of tension in my mind and and have an overactive nervous system because of it.
From muscle aches and tension in my back, to gallbladder spasms from time to time, itchy, dry scalp, crazy DRY hair, and the list goes on and on…
I needed to a one-size-fits all solution and my new moon water IS it.
That’s the beauty of herbs… they are multi-purposeful if you know how to create winning formulas.
"Lunar plants" refers to plants that are associated with the moon in various esoteric and herbal traditions. These plants are have a strong connection to lunar energy, which can influence their growth patterns, medicinal properties, and magickal attributes.
Lunar plants are often used in rituals, ceremonies, and herbal remedies that are aligned with lunar cycles, phases, and energies. They are valued for their ability to enhance intuition, psychic abilities, and spiritual practices that involve working with the moon's energy.
Lunar plants are also miracle workers for those with dry constitutions or for those who suffer from “lunar excess or deficiency” symptoms such as:
cramping
dryness
depression
anxiety
weak digestion
burping
sleep issues
low stomach acid
acid reflux
food sensitivities
swollen breasts
excess bleeding and stagnation of menses (your Monthly Moon)
And the best part about working with plants, is they don’t only work on the physiology, they also work on the psychological/emotional, and spiritual bodies. Talk about transcending your lunar energy threefold!
Why would we want to suppress a symptom, when we can teach our bodies how to integrate these symptoms and interpret what they are trying to teach us about ourselves?
If you’re looking for wholistic solutions, lunar plants and remedies are a game changer. There is nothing more painful than dealing with emotions that run wild without innerstanding what they are trying to teach us.
That’s why I love working with plants.
As someone who desperately needs to work with the moon to balance out all my fiery energy and my airy mental craziness, I am truly in LOVE with Moon Water and the power of lunar plants.
My new signature elixir, Mugwort & Oatstraw Moon Water has a plethora of moon plants for this reason and together they are a powerful team.
Marshmallow Root (moistening and hydrating)
Oatstraw (soothes the nervous system and relaxes inflammation)
Mugwort (great for candida, cramping, and activates dreaming)
These are just a few of the power plants in this remedy and a few of their healing capabilities! Add this one to your wholistic medicine cabinet and thank me later!
In conclusion, the power of moon water and lunar plants extends far beyond mere folklore or superstition. These ancient practices tap into the profound connection between nature and human consciousness, reminding us of the cyclical rhythms of life and the subtle yet potent influence of celestial bodies like the moon.
By harnessing the energy of moon water and working with lunar plants, we can attune ourselves to the ebb and flow of the natural world, cultivating a deeper sense of harmony, intuition, and spiritual alignment.
As we honor the cycles of the moon and embrace the healing properties of lunar plants, we embark on a journey of self-discovery, transformation, and connection to the cosmic forces that shape our existence.
