10 Herbs for Taurus Season to Enhance Grounding and Abundance
Burdock (Arctium lappa) – Cleansing and Protection
Whenever I feel bogged down by stagnant energy, I turn to burdock for its cleansing and grounding effects. Burdock is one of my favorites for releasing what is no longer serving me and embracing inner stability. It’s a reminder to release what I don’t need and make space for the things that truly matter.

How to Use Plantain:
Place dried leaves in a protective sachet or burn them in a ritual for personal and home protection.
Rose (Rosa spp.) – Love and Peace

How to Use Rose:
Add rose petals to a bath for self-love and relaxation, or place them on your altar to welcome harmony and beauty.
Rosemary (Salvia rosmarinus) – Memory and Purification
I turn to rosemary whenever I need a mental refresh. It’s a powerful purifier, and its stabilizing energy is ideal for staying grounded while working through anything clouding my mind. During Taurus season, rosemary helps me clear away lingering thoughts, allowing me to focus on what really matters to me.
How to Use Rosemary:
Burn rosemary as incense for clarity, or use it in a cleansing bath to refresh your energy.
Violet (Viola odorata) – Tranquility and Creativity

How to Use Violet:
Use violet in a dream pillow for restful sleep or place its flowers on your altar to inspire peaceful creativity.
Willow – Emotional Healing and Stability
Willow has a soft, resilient energy that I find incredibly comforting, especially when dealing with emotional matters.

Willow aligns so beautifully with Taurus energy, offering deep, nurturing support.
