Yarrow Flower Essence || Protection || Oregon Grown
A 1oz bottle of Oregon-grown Yarrow Flower Essence
Positive qualities: Boundaries, Energetic protection, Compassionate & inclusive sensitivity,
Patterns of imbalance: Extreme vulnerability to others and to the environment; easily depleted, overly absorbent of negative influences
Personal interpretation: Yarrow is a fierce protector. Physically, when the whole plant is taken internally or applied topically, her powerful astringent abilities help our tissues constrict, creating a barrier so that fluids can not leak out and pathogens cannot gain entrance.
Yarrow brings that same barrier energy to us in her flower essence. "I am protected" is the affirmation yarrow invites us to invoke. Those who work closely with others who may be experiencing stress or trauma may feel particularly sensitive to taking those heavy energies onto themselves. Bodyworkers, customer service workers, healthcare workers, social service workers, and many other professions in the public eye are particularly susceptible to this empathy. Yarrow helps us say "I'm compassionate to your situation, but I am not a victim of it"
What are Flower Essences
Flower essences are liquid extracts of flower vibrational energy that are used to address emotional imbalances and mind-body well-being. They're like crystals and plants combined, and no, they're not a replacement for your medications.
They are however, dilute herbal infusions prepared from pristine garden blossoms. In fact they're so dilute that I'll come right out and tell you, if you had them tested in a lab they probably wouldn't detect any physical evidence of the plant at all. So like, the opposite of potentially toxic essential oils.
And yet somehow, people have been reporting good experiences with them since the 1930's.
You might know, my background is in the hard sciences and research. My degree is in biology. I'm a skeptic and I want evidence. But at the same time, to pretend that modern science can understand everything in our universe is just self-righteous and disrespectful to nature.
That said, to make them, the fresh, dew-filled blossoms are gathered in the early morning and infused by the warmth and light of the sun.
This process creates an imprint of the unique energy pattern of the flowers into the water, which then embodies the healing archetype of that particular plant.
This is combined with the intuition of the crafter, who connects with the plant as the essence is being made. Very small doses are taken orally over a period of about a month, and they can also be used topically in creams and sprays.
Putting the flowers in water is easy, but personally, it took *several years* of working with plants for me to feel connected enough to begin this energy work.
I've been over here growing this line of flower essences that aren't mass-produced like commercial ones are. I believe there has to be something lost when you're producing enough flower essence to be shipped to every single health food store in the "western" world.
