Blog# 26: Three Important Flower Essences for Spring
Dandelion.
This flower can help those who keep
overwhelmingly busy schedules and suffer the consequences. These people are so busy that they neglect
their physical, emotional, and spiritual health, and consequently develop great
tension in their bodies, especially in their upper back and neck. Dandelion flower essence helps to release
this tension and the associated blocked or suppressed emotions. The essence can be taken orally, added to
massage oil, and even lightly sprayed in a workplace or home. Dandelion is well known as a detoxifying
bitter tonic which cleanses the liver, increases bile flow, and restores normal
bowel function. The herb also helps
release stagnant emotions, especially anger, which is the emotion associated
with the liver and gall bladder in Asian Medicine.
Nettles. Also called stinging nettles, this flower essence can help
people who tend to be cold and angry, even spiteful, possibly because they feel
cheated by others or by life in general.
It can help in the expression of these emotions, thus allowing more open
and honest connection with others. Nettles
flower essence helps cleanse toxins from the body which are due to emotional
stress. The essence also helps the body
relax. It is especially effective in
reducing or resolving conflict and cruelty within the home or workplace. The herb is one of the world’s most
nutritious greens, especially rich in vitamins A and C, as well as in iron,
silica, and potassium. It helps rid the
body of toxins by stimulating kidney and liver function, and has long been used
to support those convalescing from illness or suffering from anemia.

sluggishness and digestive tract upset due to stress or an inappropriate
diet. It can help improve digestion and
absorption of nutrients, and, as a result, can increase mental and physical
energy. Peppermint flower essence is
sometimes used to help improve mental concentration and is an excellent remedy
for students, especially around exam time, including spring final exams. It can also help alleviate mild
depression. As an herbal remedy, it can improve blood
circulation and warms the body. It tends
