Mulberry Morus
A Compendium of Plants

ESSENTIAL PROPERTIES

self-awareness

Mulberry, particularly white mulberry, is cultivated for both its medicinal uses and to feed silkworms. She grows very quickly, and so can be planted and used very soon thereafter! While white mulberries aren’t quite as tasty as black or red ones, they are still flavorful and nutritious.

MEDICINAL PROPERTIES

The phytochemicals of white mulberry specifically lower blood sugar, which can combat diabetes as well as high cholesterol or high blood pressure. White mulberry can also treat the common cold, arthritis, dizziness, and tinnitus, as well as work to prevent hair loss and prematurely graying hair.

MAGICAL PROPERTIES

The Magical properties of the mulberry tree can be found in how she blooms. She turns inward during the winter season, but as soon as the frost has passed, she explodes—seemingly overnight—with vibrant leaves and luscious berries. Mulberry helps you expand into your fullest potential, as though you have the entire energy of the universe present within you. Each leaf and berry of this tree represents a little morsel of cosmic wisdom.

PLANT WISDOM

Mulberry teaches us to honor the seasons and cycles of life. When we are in need of rest, we should slow down. When we are in need of healing, we should let go. And when we are in need of expanding, mulberry encourages us to bloom. Mulberry helps us listen to both body and spirit in order to create a balance that nurtures all parts of us. If mulberry visits you in your dreams, she’s telling you it’s time to declutter, to let go of what no longer serves you, and to sort your seeds. Which seeds do you want to grow?
