24.01.2022 The Sturt Desert Rose Essence is great for helping you to follow through with what you know you have to do. If you are not true to yourself then there can often... arise, as a consequence, feelings of regret or remorse. It’s a very good remedy for teenagers who are dealing with peer pressure where there is a lot of coercion to do things they don’t want to do. This Essence can restore self-esteem that has been damaged by past actions that you now feel guilty about, either you did something you regret or didn’t do something you wished you should have. https://ausflowers.com.au//Sturt-Desert-Rose-Flower-Essenc #AustralianBushFlowerEssences #abfe #emotionalhealing #bushfloweressences #bushflowers #floweressences #bushessences #flowers #australia #vibrationalhealing #vibrationalmedicine #emotionalwellbeing #naturalremedies #healthyliving #guilt #sexualguilt #regret #remorse #easilyled #lowselfesteem #courage #conviction #truetoself #integrity
23.01.2022 More delicious ways to add Dandelions into your diet.
21.01.2022 Flower in focus - Tall Mulla Mulla (Ptilotus exaltatus). This is one of the beautiful flowers used in the Australian Bush Flower Essences Range developed by Ian White. Flower essences are one of my favourite therapies for people, pets and livestock.... This flower essence is for people (or animals) who are not at ease being with others. They prefer their own company and enjoy being alone but miss out on the emotional growth that interaction with others can bring. On an emotional level there is not much 'circulating with people', as it feels too troublesome and uncomfortable. They do not easily mix with others. They prefer to be alone where they know their own environment and can avoid confrontation with others. They will often go to any length to keep the peace even if it means agreeing to or saying things they don't believe. They do not breath in life deeply for they prefer holding on to the familiar rather than being open to the new. Negative Condition *Ill at ease *Sometimes fearful of circulating and mixing with others *Loner *Distress by and avoids confrontation Positive Outcome *Feeling relaxed and secure with other people *Encourages social interaction I really enjoy growing plants to display what the herbs and flowers that I prescribed look like. I feel there is a deeper engagement in the healing process when you can admire and connect to the living plants. That has been the inspiration for growing our mini Botanical Gardens, The Healing Garden Project.
21.01.2022 Love our dandelions
20.01.2022 I harvested these organically grown beauties this morning for drying and adding to a bath blend for the Abbey Museum Victorian Christmas Markets on 23 November Corn flower (Centaurea cyanus) is an attractive edible flower, used in salads and tisanes. In Victorian times Bachelors wore this flower to indicate their availability. The name of the genus is derived from the Centaur, Chiron, who taught mankind the healing virtue of herbs... Active constituents include biotin (vitamin B7), folate, vitamin C and calcium, Anthocyanins: (Protocyanin, flavones), Coumarin, Tannin, Sesquiterpene lactones: (Cnicin). Antioxidant, appetite stimulant, digestive, anti inflammatory #cornflower #edibleflowers #organic #abbeymuseum #victorianchristmasmarket #homegrownherbs #languageofflowers #healinggardenproject #blue #bathsoak #tisanes

18.01.2022 Rosemary has been known as Rosmarinus officinalis since 1753. New research as now identified it as a Salvia so the new botanical name will be Salvia rosmarinus!
17.01.2022 So an exciting parcel arrived yesterday! Have you heard of Gac (Momordica cochinchinensis)? A superfood known in Vietnam as 'the fruit from Heaven'.... Recent studies has shown it contains 200 times more lycophene than tomatoes. This antioxidant is not only a cancer fighting agent but helps to delay the effects of aging. The fruit is also rich in beta carotene, up to 50 times more than carrots, 40 times more zeaxanthin than yellow corn and 40 times more Vitamin C than oranges. These large seed are unlike anything I have seen before! I am soaking them overnight ready for sowing. Apparently germination may be as quick as 2 days or as long as 5 months. Now it's a waiting game and time for planning a protected growing trellis. Keep an eye out for updates! It was featured on Gardening Australia series 29, Episode 30. https://www.abc.net.au//my-garden-path-dr-tien-hu/10127868

09.01.2022 Yellow is the colour that symbolises the intellect and the element of Air. The Yellow Cowslip Orchid has a very social and gregarious nature and is commonly fou...nd growing in clusters. The element of Air is very concerned with social order, group activity and harmony. When out of balance there is excessive judgement and criticism, all of which is addressed by this Essence. https://ausflowers.com.au//Yellow-Cowslip-Orchid-Flower-Es #AustralianBushFlowerEssences #abfe #emotionalhealing #bushfloweressences #bushflowers #floweressences #bushessences #flowers #australia #vibrationalhealing #vibrationalmedicine #emotionalwellbeing #naturalremedies #healthyliving #critical #judgemental #nitpicking #humanitarianconcern #impartiability #constructive #arbitration
09.01.2022 Managing the current global pandemic requires utilising all available treatments and resources both within conventional medicine and within the field of Tradi...tional and Complementary Medicine (T&CM). Naturopathic medicine / naturopathy is an established T&CM system of medicine that is practiced in 98 countries around the world. This current pandemic highlights the need to focus on lifestyle factors and to address noncommunicable diseases (NCDs), both of which are strengths of naturopathic practice. Recognising that there are limited treatment options and no cure for COVID-19 and building on contemporary research evidence, the global naturopathic profession undertook the task of analysing the current research and conducting rapid reviews to assess the role of specific naturopathic recommendations which may be useful in the management of COVID-19.

09.01.2022 For over 2000 years St Mary's thistle (Silybum marianum) has been traditionally used in European medicine for treating liver conditions. Research has shown it is a Hepatic trophorestorative and hepatoprotective, which means it has liver restorative and liver-protective properties. This is one of my all time favourite herbs! #stmarysthistle #silybummarianum... #liverherbs #antioxidant #thehealinggardenproject #favouriteherb #herbalmedicine #growyourown See more

08.01.2022 Borage (Borago officinalis) is a great addition to the garden and is also known to be one of the best bee and wasp attractants. It has a light cucumber fragranc...e, the young leaves can be torn into salads, mashed into cream cheese, made into sauces or puréed soups. The leaves and flowers were originally used in Pimms before it was replaced by mint. Add flowers to herbal vinegar as a dye and for a slight cucumber flavour. Tea made from the dried flowers is a traditional calming drink in Iran. It has a rich purple colour that turns bright pink by adding a few drops of lemon juice. Borage is rich in minerals, especially potassium, calcium and mineral salts. It also contains a beneficial saline mucilage, this forms a soothing film over a mucus membrane, relieving minor pain and inflammation. A tea made from the leaves is said to reduce fevers and ease chest colds and makes an excellent facial steam for improving very dry, sensitive skin. Externally, a poultice of the leaves can be used on swellings and inflammation. Cultivated commercially for the seed oil, borage is the highest known plant-based source of gamma-linolenic acid (GLA). Borage oil is often marketed as starflower oil. Borage seed oil is used for regulation of metabolism and balancing hormones, being a remedy for PMS and hot flushes of menopause.

07.01.2022 Cornflower (Centaurea cyanus) first blooms of the season! I love the colour! This delightful edible flower got its name from growing as a "weed" in corn and grain fields. The bees and polinating insects love it! Used traditionally as a herbal medicine, active constituents include anthocyans, coumarins, flavonoids. Easy to grow and add colour to salads and herb teas. #edibleflowers #herbteas #growyourown #blue #healinggardens

05.01.2022 The first aspect of the rare Sydney Rose to strike you is its beautiful, intense pink fragrant flower (about 2cms across) which does not fully open. Sydney Rose... can grow up to a metre in height. Pink is symbolic of the love vibration and the healing quality of this remarkable Essence is to realise and know on a deep heart level not merely an intellectual level that there is no separation between us, that we are all one. If human consciousness is going to evolve then this will need to be the one fundamental premise to be embraced and to operate from, for in so doing it will create compassion, tolerance and love for others and the willingness to help and support others. Not surprisingly, whilst making this Essence I kept hearing over and over this message "the crowning glory, the crowning glory, this is the crowning glory of the Bush Essences." https://ausflowers.com.au//Sydney-Rose-Flower-Essence-15ml #AustralianBushFlowerEssences #abfe #emotionalhealing #bushfloweressences #bushflowers #floweressences #bushessences #flowers #australia #vibrationalhealing #vibrationalmedicine #emotionalwellbeing #naturalremedies #healthyliving #separated #deserted #unloved #weareone #compassion #unity #together #connected #tolerance #love #oneness #weareallone
