The Magic of Wood Betony

Wood Betony has powerful magical properties including protection against the evil eye, alleviating self-harm, and initiating prophetic dreams. It heals and protects both internal and external conflicts. While Wood Betony is known as a solar plexus herb, its powers exceed with grounding. It’s understood that the magical and medicinal properties work congruently and eases anxiety and pain with energetic healing. “Wood Betony is a remedy which helps establish rootedness, connectedness, earthiness, and groundedness. It is a plant for people who are cut off from the earth or their bodies. It strengthens the solar plexus – the place that helps us feel connected – and through the solar plexus it strengthens the stomach and the rest of the nervous system, including the brain. Through this general strengthening property, Wood Betony enhances the actions of diverse organs – lungs, liver, gallbladder, intestines, kidneys and uterus. By strengthening the solar plexus and helping people to feel grounded, it has an impact on psychological health which helps explain its magical uses,” – Mathew Wood, 1997
