There are 38 Bach Flower Remedies, and each one of them is aimed at a different state of mind or emotion. They do not treat physical illness directly, but by restoring harmony to the mind they allow the body's natural defenses to work more easily. This means that people can quite literally heal themselves.

These are challenging times, many of us are navigating through change on multiple spheres: work, home, family, friends, politics and more. Many of us find ourselves at the center of these spheres, where others are also relying on us for support.

We have some wonderful tools that can assist you in emotional care. ⠀
We invite you to explore flower essences for practical application in our daily life.

Golden blend, a mix of homegrown herbs for urinary tract infections and kidney support specifically, highlighting Goldenrod ✨

3 parts Goldenrod Leaves & Flowers
2 parts Biden’s Alba Leaves & Flowers
2 parts Lemon Balm
1 part Chanca Piedra
1 part Lemongrass
1 part Lippia Alba

A recipe in parts means you can adapt to whatever measuring size you have, say teaspoons for 1 cup or ounces if wanting to make a bigger batch to have on hand.

You can edit & adapt this with whatever you have available or are looking for different things. If you have Dandelion and calendula you can mix that with Goldenrod for a liver cleanse // circulation support blend.

You can blend Goldenrod with Yarrow Flowers and Elder Flowers for an antihistamine blend.

You can blend Goldenrod with Ginger and Cinnamon for a spicy digestive support tisane.

Literally your apothecary and garden are your oyster! I’m just giving a recipe to inspire y’all to play around and mix up your own tisane blends at home.

I’m by no means an expert, just a practicing herbalist and homegrown gardener. Nothing I say is medical advice, please consult a medical practitioner before utilizing herbs for any health concerns.

Ps. If you’re looking for a custom tisane blend of your own, message me 🤗

If you’ve worked with flower essences, you know that they are a medicine we need now more than ever. 💐 From pandemics to fires to systemic oppression to the circus of politics, most of us are feeling weary and worn down - and flower essences are one incredible tool that can help us find balance and ease despite the backdrop of environmental collapse and cultural division. 🌷 Next month, I’ll be guiding yet another five part journey exploring Flower Essences for Emotional Health, a course I’ve taught for over a decade and is dear to my heart. 🌸 This series features live classes by video conference, with personalized flower essence dosage bottles mailed at the end of each class to provide you with tangible experience working with the essences as we dive into the course material together. It is a course not just for the mind, but for the spirit. 🌺 In addition to 5 essences, you receive three course books and a dozen ebooks to fill your head and heart with the gentle wisdom of the flowers. 🌹 The class is on sale for a $50 discount till 9/25, and payment plans are available. See the link in @holisticlivingschool’s bio to learn more and save your spot. 🌺🌍🌻🌈🌼 #floweressences #rescueremedy #bachflower #flowerremedies
