EMERGING BLOOMS FOR ADDRESSING TRAUMA

As my face flushes red from the fierce arctic winds, my feet stumble upon a patch of the most beautiful tiny wildflower bells. My herbal research brings me to Iceland often to work with Mossy Mountain Heather and many other wildflowers for medicinal purposes.

Across this unusual and strikingly beautiful terrain are magnificent dense flowering mats (mini carpets) adorning early spring snow beds, short-grown hollows and moist mountain slopes. Most intriguing is how this flower resiliently emerges through adversity of early spring’s frigid temps, snow and ice. 

Clinically, I often use this medicinal flower plus many others to help people move through adversity and to heal physical wounds and emotional scars of injury, illness, abuse, trauma and eating disorder. Therapeutically, this grounding flower soothes the nervous system, stabilizes Shen (spirit and mind) and reestablishes a healthy reverent connection with the body for physical and emotional nourishment. 

This flower is included in our Trauma Mend floral elixir to help resolve and gently release trauma for peace and healing.
