Lemon Verbena
(Latin Name: Aloysia citrodora)
(Also known as: Vervain of the Sun, The Joyful Leaf, Sacred Lemon Herb)
Brief History & Origin
Lemon Verbena is the Herb of Lightness and Joy, cherished since the days of ancient Spain and South America where it was revered for its bright, citrusy aroma and mood-lifting properties. Brought to Europe in the 17th century, Lemon Verbena quickly became known as the “Herb of the Angels,” used in teas, perfumes, and spiritual waters to awaken the senses and soothe the soul.
In spiritual traditions, it is associated with sun magic, joy work, and emotional cleansing, helping to sweep away heaviness and refresh the spirit. Lemon Verbena is a plant of gentle awakening, teaching the art of moving through life with grace, softness, and renewed enthusiasm.
