BLUE VERVAIN
Verbena hastata (L.)
Plant Symbol = VEHA2
Alternate Names
Swamp vervain Blue verbena
Swamp verbena Simpler’s joy
Uses
Ethnobotanical: Blue Vervain is used internally to treat depression, fevers, coughs, cramps, jaundice, and headaches. Externally, it is used for acne, ulcers, and cuts.
Warning: Blue Vervain can interfere with blood pressure medication and hormone therapy. Large doses will induce vomiting and diarrhea.
Landscaping: Blue vervain produces very attractive purplish-blue flowers in late summer. It can grow in degraded wetland habitats and is an excellent landscaping substitute for several invasive species, including European wand loosestrife, purple loosestrife, and purple foxglove.
Wildlife: The cardinal, swamp sparrow, field sparrow, song sparrow, and slate-colored junco eat the seeds of blue vervain. The cottontail rabbit will sometimes eat the foliage; most other mammalian herbivores avoid it due its bitter taste. The caterpillars of the verbena moth feed on the leaves and it is the larval host for the common buckeye butterfly. Long and short tongued bees collect the nectar and sometimes the pollen. Other bee pollinators include: epoline cuckoo bees, eucerine miner bees , halictid bees, and the verbena bee, a specialist pollinator. In addition the thread-waisted wasp, bee flies, thick-headed flies and golden soldier beetle are also known to all visit blue vervain.
Description and Adaptation
Blue vervain is a native, perennial wildflower that grows from 2 to 5 feet tall. Its hairy, square stems can be green or red. The toothed, lance shaped leaves progress in pairs up the stem and are about 6 inches long by 1 inch wide. Purplish-blue flowers bloom in multiple, showy, elongated panicles (flowers arranged on a stem) and are up to 5 inches long. Each bloom is about 1/4 inch across and conspicuously lobed. Blue vervain blooms in mid to late summer; approximately 1 1/2 months after blooming each bloom gives way to four oblong, reddish-brown, triangular-convex “nutlets.” Blue vervain spreads through rhizomes, horizontal roots that produce new plants.
Blue vervain prefers moist conditions and full to partial sun. It can grow in disturbed sites and is commonly found in moist meadows, thickets, and pastures, as well as riversides, marshes, ditches, and river-bottom prairies.
How would one use this? As a tea, how much and does it have to boil or steep?
To make tea you always boil your water first. After the water comes to a boil, then you pour it onto the herb. Let it sit for 15 minutes and then it is ready to drink.
You can get a tea ball or strain it as you pour it into the cup that you plan to drink out of.
I really like this site, It loads really quick too. Thanks you for all of the information, I saved the link and will return to read more of your posts in the future.
how would I use this externally?
You would make a tea out of it and drink it.
This is great. My husband was diagnosed with a mental illness but we researched the meds his doctor prescribed and I found vie to is a better alternative
Thanks for loving dr sebis work I have previously used banju for a skin disease and was healed I saw no more outbreaks
Hey Dr Sebie I’m Norvel from South Africa a family member of mine is suffering from Cystic Fibrosis….can this tea help him? He is only 1year old and is batteling plse help
This is not Dr Sebi and the answer is yes.
The reason black females are facing such high incidents with fibroids is because of their diet. They have been taken away from the diet that nature has designed for us. And we have become victims, conditioned to that diet. Now we have to turn this thing around, we have to bring back everything that we know is consistent to our cellular predisposition.
Mucous membrane has been compromised (broken down) in the reproductive organ and it accumulates small fibroid tumors along the walls of the body there. Doctors try to cut it out, but there is no knife that can separate this fibroid from the walls of your uterus; the doctor is going to cut into you now. If the doctor doesn’t cut all the way into you, he’s going to have to leave some in there.
You need something that is consistent with removing things from the wall of the intestines; which is potassium phosphate. When it comes to Dr. Sebi, you are given something to drink that enters the blood stream and where doesn’t the blood go? The blood goes everywhere; into the walls and pushes things away. This is how you naturally get rid of Fibroid tumors.

Hi, I have been watching Dr Sebi’s talks on YouTube and he mentioned two processes: photovoltaic and iontophoresis. He said that only natural plants can carry out these two processes. Would you be able to tell me where he found out this information? I have been searching online and there is not a single thing about plants being able to do this. All the things that come up on the search engine (google) is all about man made items that can do these processes. Do you know where Dr Sebi found this information about the plants? I really think the internet search engines hide certain information. Any help in this matter would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you for taking the time to read my message.
Kindest regards
He read about it in an herbalist book. The author has passed. I can’t remember the name of the book but I experienced the same thing that you did when I looked into it until I saw a video where he mentioned that some herbalist could explain things better than he could.
I believe that what he said/meant was proteolytic not photovoltaic. Google it and you will find plenty on that and iontophoresis. I did. Studies done in a book called World Medicinal herbs, I may have the name wrong. Or medicinal herbs of the world, I will buy it, to learn more.
Hello! hope all is well at the Sebi camp and everyone has new energy to continuously serve the public while carrying on his legacy.
Have you heard of a pilar, or sebaceous cyst? They show up randomly and no one seems to know how or why. If someone has one the head or wrist, what would you suggest for removal?
Blessings to you all…
Oh yeah, the little tumors that can be mistaken for baby horns that try and form on our heads. It’s just like a fibriod tumor. The sebaceous glands that help provide a natural lubrication for the skin and hair is not functioning. Due to an acid condition, areas relating to hair follicles can become targeted to produce fibrous and calcium-like substances.
These require an intra-cellular chelation and a very strict diet. An intra-cellular chelation; meaning we are going to clean the cells. The cells that make up the organs that make up the system. So not only the organ, but we are going to clean up the cell that makes up the organ. Why? Because when a cyst or cancer is present it’s showing that there is a high level of acid condition; a very extremely high level of mitosis – the cell is eating up the follicles. It is only cause the presence of acid. So the body must be nourishes simultaneously. Disease requires nourishment back to health. So we give them the Bio-mineral Balance. It is the Intra-cellular chelation coupled with the Bio-mineral balance.
You need something that is consistent with removing things from the epidermis; which is potassium phosphate. When it comes to Dr. Sebi, you are given something to drink that enters the blood stream and where doesn’t the blood go? The blood goes everywhere; into the walls and pushes things away. This is how you naturally get rid of pilar, or sebaceous cyst.

BANJU

Hi good evening. I took antibiotics on about three or four occasions in one year and I got really sick. I had issues digesting and I was told I have gut dysbiosis. It resulted in hormonal imbalance and inflammation and I also was diagnosed with post traumatic stress disorder that was influenced by me being very sick. I need help. What would you recommend. I tried calling the office numerous times but the waiting time was very long and my call mins ran out. Please help me.
Dr. Sebi talks about bringing the body back from an acid state to an alkaline state. We can do this by eating right or by using herbs or his compounds to assist the body in doing what it already knows how to do. So we help the body cleans itself and rid itself of the storage of toxins, the buildup off compromised cells and the mucus from the cause of it.
1. Eat according to the nutritional guide.
2. Order some bromide Powder plus to make tea.
3. Get your iron levels up to par with the Bio Ferro.
sir,
I purchased these herbs after i researched dr sebi’s diet. Can you tell me how to make a tea for the herbs. savory,cascara sagrada bark, blue vervain herb chaparral leaf, and damiana leaf. Just nervous it will be my first time trying something like this thanks in advance
I would not advise you on a ratio combination of the herbs in order to make a compound, but making tea is simply about bringing water near boiling point and placing the herb in it allowing it to sit for at least 5 minitues.
Thank you very much for your advice. I will get to ordering the products and begin my journey. Dr. Sebi has helped to enlighten his brothers and sisters for which I’m truly grateful. May his soul rest in peace. Zee Malachi continue your good work as you are well appreciated.
Hi, my lil brother has cerebal palsy and has been having seizures for the past 15 years. I think its know as Epilepsy. Is there any products or packages you would suggest?
P.s. i read in one of your post where dr sebi explains that he used a tincture of cannabis sativa to cure a little girl
Yes check with the office and see if they have it. Keep me posted.
Also the bromide powder plus is good for reversing epilepsy. If you have a blender, you can make tea.

Hello,
I am a 30 year old bipolar female and I have MAJOR mood swings! 6 months ago, I decided to no longer posion my body with them numerous meds the doctors were giving me. It’s been a tremendous struggle. Can you pretty please suggest some herbs to control my temper, irritability, mood??? Thank you SOOOO very much!
Dear as precious as you can be,
I congratulate you on your courage to take charge of redeeming the health for yourself that is necessary for living a disease free life. There aren’t any herbs to control your temper, irritability or mood. However, herbs do provide energy, starting with the one that are high in iron. Temper, irritability and bad mood???? Noooo – you’re lacking energy. Acid conditions bring on dis-eased situations.
So we remove the acid state by replacing it with an alkaline one. We watch what we eat and consistently consume herbal tea or Dr. Sebi’s compounds that play a role in both (1) adding to our electrical state and (2) cleansing ourselves of the toxins responsible for creating an acid condition.
So we start with the Chelation; contact the LA office for it.
1. Bromide Powder Plus (make tea – boil water, pour in blender and turn on. Put bromide powder in while blender is on; ready in 2 minutes)
2. Banju
3. Green Food Plus

HOW TO PREARE BLUE VERVAIN TO EAT
NOT DRINK AS A TEA
I don’t know how to prepare blue vervain to eat; not drink as a tea. I recommend that you pull up youtube videos and read the comment sections.
Hey man…. I love your work…. You are truly a blessing keeping dr.sebi legacy alive… I stutter alot…Idk why…. But my stuttering is really bad… What can you recommend for stuttering… I need something affective…. I bought the banju…. I’m hoping it works….Any other suggestions?
Yes the banju will help you. The body is electrical and it is simply obstructed by mucus – this is what Dr. Sebi would tell you. So the chelation and iron is what you need.
Have you seen any improvement from the banju or other natural remedies?

Hi Zee. I understand that disease can be cured due to the ph of the blood but at what ph level is it that you know you are cured.
Dr. Sebi once mentioned what the pH for the blood should be and I want to say 9.6 but I can’t find my notes to confirm that. Knowing that you are cured has a lot more to do several other things than just the pH of the blood. Everything should line up to indicate that you are healthy and no longer suffer from disease.

Hi thanks for your work in supporting us with information.
I believe i may have vitiligo. Two or three small patches on my back. Can you offer so advice on how to remove these before it gets worse. I have read that it may also be a fungus and to wash with tea tree oil… confused but optimistic that it can be sorted.
I will confess that i currently dont fully follow the nutritional guide. I have cut out breakfast and first meal is always only fruit. I drink herbal teams and add herds suck as burdock root and stuff to drinks. But i still consume meat. No diary. I am on way and will get to 100% clean earing.
I think a colon cleanse followed by a water fast is what i need then add additional herbs to stop the vitiligo. What would you recommend?
Thanks in advance for you help
Exacty what you just what you just planned to do for yourself; it’s a great plan.
All Praises.
Thank you for this site. I am looking for tea to make to help my cervix. I was recently told I have abnormal cells on my cervix. will this help me or do you know what I can use while fasting to help clear chemicals out of my body?
Woplia (big thanks)
You’re already headed in the right direction. Review the teas that are available on http://www.drsebiscellfood.com
So can you make tea with just blue Vervain?
Yes, I have. Blue vervain is not a root so you will want to strain it because the grassy pulp is not so complimentary to sensitive digestive systems. Powdery pulp can be consumed entirely.
Hi,
Did dr. Sebi mention how to get rid of Crohns disease? What should be taken to get rid of Crohns disease?
You need time to remove the bed of mucus in the stomach by detox and to spend more time allowing the body to stay in an alkaline state in order to reverse the illness and any other obstruction.
what can you use to get rid of gall blade stones?
You have to focus on gut health. Detox to cleans the intestines so that the rest of the body will get the message. Your bladder will be strong and happy enough to cleans itself of any unwanted strangers. Blue vervain will significantly help with digestion and cascara sagrada will help with detox.
We have the blue vervain plant by where I live and my husband always go to cut the leaves of the plant, boil them and drink the boiled water. Is this not dangerous for his health. I’m really worried
Blue Vervain is reported to be far more safe to consume that way than other herbs.

What teas can you use for chlamidya or Gonorrhea
It is a misconception that Dr. Sebi used herbs or herbal teas to cure any diseases. He used herbs to enrich or replenish the cellular structure with minerals. The substances that may come from other well known herbs that have the reputation for curing high blood pressure and diabetes are void of the complimentary nature of the minerals used by Dr. Sebi. This is why he doesn’t use hybrid herbs and prefers natural native plants.
Dr. Sebi has stated that anyone can use hybrid herbs to relieve a person of disease, but you would be robbing the body to accomplish it.
1. Garlic – will lower your blood pressure, but it will eat your mucous membrane.
2. Pumpkin Seeds – will bring your sugar down, but cease urination ability within a week.
3. Bark of the Cashew Tree – Make a tea to bring your sugar down, but destroy your liver.
Our bodies eat on a cellular basis and can only assimilate plant-digested mineral-rich-substances that compliment the electric minerals in our bodies. When the body is properly stimulated with electric foods it incites the removal of acidity and toxins; as a result the internal environment becomes alkaline and diseases are eventually cleared. In short, Dr. Sebi uses specific herbs, compounds and teas to cleans the body. He does not use them to cure diseases, although diseases get cured.
A list of plant-based iron teas are as follow:Sarsasparilla – Highest content of iron.
Sarsil Berry – Berry from the plant of the sarsasparilla.
Guaco – It’s high in iron and strengthens the immune system. Has potassium phosphate.
Conconsa – An African plant. Has the highest concentration of potassium phosphate.
Lily of the Valley – Rich in iron fluorine and Potassium phosphate.
Purslane – Rich in iron.
Kale – Rich in iron.
Dandelion – Rich in iron.
Lams Quarters – Rich in iron.
Burdock – Rich in iron.
Blue Vervain – Rich in iron.
Yellow Dock – Rich in iron.
Chickweeb – Rich in iron
Anamu – Rich in iron
Since detoxing is synonymous with cleansing, you may want to look into acquiring teas that are used for detoxing. There is nothing wrong with going to the local medical facilities for medicine that will clear up chlamidya or gonorrhea, because you can always detox behind it to clear up the opportunities that exist to form mucus, acid or toxins from use of the medicine. Our associates at Alkaline Eclectic can assist you with this.
Dr. Sebi regards his herbs as electric cell food and informs people that the consistent consumption of them builds up a stronger immune system and bones. Please study this website for any additional information.
Is anyone still here helping to advise?
Always
