The power of the seven herbs

To better understand the power of the 7 herbs pot, it is important to know the energetic properties and benefits of each of the herbs that are part of it. Therefore, you will see a detailed description of each of them below. Follow!

Basil

Basil is a herb ruled by Mars and the fire element. Popularly used in many traditional cuisines around the world, basil has powers linked to love, protection, astral cleansing and prosperity.

Thus, when left in your vase, it will not only ward off negative energies, but also help to keep the good mood of people in the environment, since popular wisdom says that it attracts sympathy between people.

In addition, it is a powerful herb for attracting abundance, helping in business and attracting money wherever it is grown with that intention.

Rosemary

Rosemary is considered the herb of happiness. Ruled by the Sun and the fire element, its benefits are related to wisdom, happiness, protection, purification, healing and even exorcism. Thus, when planted in environments, rosemary sucks up all and any negativity and helps maintain the balance of the place where it grows.

When used as incense, it keeps obsessing spirits away and provides more concentration, being ideal for students preparing for exams or contests. Besides that, rosemary is an herb that promotes healing, especially if the disease is caused by spiritual or energetic issues.

St. George's Sword

The Sword of St. George is a plant originally from Africa. Easily cultivated, due to its resistance to dry weather, it is preferred by many Brazilians, not only because of its easy maintenance, but also for its protective powers.

Therefore, when left in environments, the sword-of-st. George cuts the negative energy like a real sword, dissipating also the envy and the evil eye.

In addition, it assists in purifying the air and is excellent for protecting your home from the effect of electromagnetic fields (EMF), emitted by cell phones, computers and other electronic devices that are harmful. It is an herb ruled by Mars and the fire element.

Rue

Rue is undoubtedly one of the most powerful and popular herbs for protection in the country. Originally from the Mediterranean, its protective powers were already known in ancient times by the Romans, who carried it with them to ward off the effects of negative entities, as well as to break the envy.

In Brazil, rue is commonly left near the entrance door, with the same purpose. Its power originates from its elemental regent, fire, and from Mars, the planet named after the Roman god of the same name, regent of war. Therefore, it is excellent to fight invading energies and to guarantee the defense of its users.

Guinea

Guinea is an herb native to the Americas, whose powers are related to protection against negative energies and bad entities and to combat jealousy. When left in the environment, guinea works as an antenna capturing negative energy: when it comes into contact with this invading vibration, it traps it and neutralizes it.

It is commonly used as an ingredient of "descargo" baths, because of its excellent astral cleansing power. Guinea is also known as amansa-patrão, because it is believed that it was used by slaves to weaken their evil bosses. It is a herb ruled by Mars and the fire element.

Pepper

Pepper is an herb represented by Mars and the element of fire. Its powers are related to protection, astral cleansing and exorcism. When planted in an environment, pepper absorbs the evil eye and cuts down on envy.

So, to know if your house is being victim of envious people or negative influences, leave a vase of pepper inside. If the pepper dries up, it is a sign that your house is being targeted by negativity, evil eye or even negative entities.

Besides its excellent astral cleaning power, chili peppers can also be used to "spice up" relationships that are in need of rekindling the flame of passion.

Comigo-nuém-pode

The "me-nobody-pod" is one of the favorite plants for astral cleansing. When left at home, this plant ruled by Mars and the fire element serves as an energy filter, sucking all the negative energies from the environment and making a neutralization. It protects against envy and keeps away negative people, when left near the entrance door of the house.

In addition to its powerful benefit against negative energy, the dogwood also aids in purifying the air. This plant is well suited to low-lit locations as it is native to dense tropical forests. However, it is a poisonous plant and should be kept out of reach of children or pets.

How to have a 7 herb pot

By knowing about the individual energies of each herb you'll have in your pot, you'll be ready to learn how to have a 7 herb pot. Read on for tips on how to choose your pot and plants, the best time to plant, and other essential maintenance care!

Choose the vase of your preference

When choosing the pot to plant the 7 herbs, try to use a material that conducts energy, such as clay, wood, cement, glass, stone or even porcelain. Avoid artificial materials, such as plastic, because they do not conduct energy.

It is therefore important to choose a pot that matches the environment you intend to leave it in. Choose between planters or basins, depending on the size of your plants. The depth of the pot is also important: the deeper it is, the more your plants' roots will grow and the more competition there will be between them.

In addition, it is important that it has holes in the bottom, so that the water can be drained, preventing the roots from rotting and your plant from dying.

Choose your plants carefully

When choosing plants for your vase, you need to pay attention to their sizes. You can create beautiful arrangements by arranging them at different depths and using plants of different sizes, but pay attention to their height: plants of very different heights will end up competing for more space and may become disharmonious.

When choosing seedlings, pay attention to their foliage, choosing those with a uniform color. It is also important to choose a standard size for them. Finally, since all plants can grow, leave an even space between them in your pot so that they can grow without too much competition.

Also, don't forget: you'll need a seedling of each of the following herbs: basil, rosemary, St. George's sword, rue, guinea, pepper, and meadow lavender.

Add a substrate to the soil

In order for the plants in your 7-herb pot to grow healthy, it is important that you invest in a good substrate. In gardening stores or large supermarkets, look for substrates for seedlings. Sometimes they are also called black soil, plant soil or soil conditioner. Also, when choosing it, mix it with worm humus, NPK fertilizer or other variants.

Time to plant

When you get your seedlings, you should plant them with their root ball - that part with the rooting soil that is shaped like the black bag you took out. Also, don't break or crush it, so as not to affect the roots. When planting it, make a hole and, after inserting the root ball in it, cover it with substrate.

After that, arrange your herbs according to your personal taste. When all 7 herbs are planted in the pot, don't forget to water them.

Sun exposure and amount of water

Your pot of seven herbs should be left near a window with natural light and ventilation. The Meadowlily and Sword of St. George do not need direct sunlight, but the other herbs do, as they need to produce their essential oils.

Also, to know the right time to water them, do the finger test: insert your finger into the soil. If it comes out dirty and damp, your herbs do not need water. However, if it comes out dry, it is time to water them.

How to care for plants

Whenever possible, check the condition of your plants in the 7 herb pot. Remember to water them constantly and that they need sunlight to survive. It is also important to fertilize them periodically so that they can grow, preferably every 15 days.

Also, in case they are growing disorderly, remember that you can prune them. Pruning may seem cruel, but it is necessary to ensure their longevity and beauty.

Pest and disease control

The control of pests and diseases should happen frequently in your seven-herb pot. Do not use pesticides, because they are poisons and can harm the health of your plants and your own health. In addition, both water in lack and in excess can cause diseases.

Thus, always use organic recipes and, if a plant is very sick, replace it by another one, so as not to infect the others. Also watch out for energetic signs that the plant has received a very heavy load. If they wilt or die out of nowhere, be alert and reinforce their defenses.

Pet and child care

When you have a pot of 7 herbs in your home, you need to be extra careful if you have pets or children in your home. This is because plants such as meadow grass and spade of St. George are toxic.

Therefore, the simple contact of these plants with sensitive skin may cause skin eruptions, irritation, burning and itching. These plants should never come in contact with mucous membranes (mouth, eyes, nose, etc.), because their toxicity can be deadly.

Moreover, if children or pets come into contact with these plants or ingest them accidentally, the danger is even higher. Therefore, leave your pot in a safe place, out of their reach.
