Did you know some of the most powerful herbal medicines grow right under your feet?
​
As we move through June, Sandy Hook—a historic village in Newtown, Connecticut—comes alive with medicinal plants. Many of these healing herbs are dismissed as “weeds,” yet they’ve been used for generations in herbal medicine to soothe the nervous system, support detox, nourish the skin, and calm inflammation.
​At our herbal medicine shop and school in Sandy Hook, we love teaching others how to reconnect with the plants growing all around them. Whether you're new to herbal medicine or on a deeper path of plant connection, here are six wild medicinal “weeds” you’ll find growing freely across Connecticut this month:

✧ Plantain (Plantago major/lanceolata)Plantain is a go-to in folk herbalism for its wound-healing power. It draws out splinters, soothes bites, and eases irritation. Found in lawns, fields, and trail edges throughout Sandy Hook.
✧ Red Clover (Trifolium pratense)These pink blossoms gently support the lymph, purify the blood, and help balance hormones. A favorite herb for teas and skin health, red clover is abundant in open meadows across Newtown.

✧ Chickweed (Stellaria media)Cooling, soothing, and nourishing, chickweed is excellent for hot, itchy skin and inflammation. Often made into salves or eaten raw, it thrives in shady garden beds, forest edges, and damp areas around Sandy Hook.
✧ Violet (Viola spp.)A tender and heart-opening plant, violet supports the lymphatic system and offers gentle relief for inflammation and emotional heaviness. Its purple flowers and heart-shaped leaves are often found in moist, shady spots and along woodland paths.

We offer a variety of seasonal herbal medicine workshops throughout the year, including hands-on medicine making, herbal tea blending, and plant spirit connection. One of our favorite ways to teach is through medicinal plant walks, where we guide you through the fields, forests, and hidden green corners of Sandy Hook and Newtown, CT to meet the plants face to face. We lead these walks regularly in the spring, summer, and fall—each season revealing a new layer of magic and medicine. Check out our current offerings and join us for an experience that reconnects you with the land, the plants, and yourself.
