Companion Planting Medicinal Herbs: Best Pairs for Growth, Healing & Spirit
In this episode, I’m sharing some of my favorite medicinal herb pairings from my own garden and exploring the art of companion planting—not just from a gardening standpoint, but also from an energetic and symbolic perspective.
Over the years, I’ve discovered that many herbs don’t just grow well together—they thrive in each other’s presence. These plant partnerships offer physical benefits like pest control, soil improvement, and immune support, while also weaving a subtle web of metaphysical resonance. When we plant with intention, the garden becomes more than a productive space—it becomes a living, healing relationship.
In this video, I walk you through four powerful herbal pairings and why they work on both a biochemical and spiritual level:
🌼 Chamomile & Mint – Peace meets clarity; these Mercury-ruled herbs bring calm focus while supporting each other physically through pest resistance and soil health.
🌾 Yarrow & Echinacea – A duo of protection and resilience, supporting boundaries, immunity, and ecological balance.
🌻 Calendula & Borage – Sunshine and courage in bloom; these companions uplift both soil and soul.
🌙 Lemon Balm & Valerian – Joy and rest, light and shadow—this yin-yang pair nurtures both the body and emotional cycles.
🌙 Basil & Thyme – Aromatic besties with soil sparing roots that both provide great medicines and cooking spice.
Whether you’re growing an herbal medicine garden, deepening your relationship with the plants, or curious about the energetic dynamics of the green world, this episode is for you.
