Have you noticed that all the Purple Flowers are calling to you!? Take a look at Skullcap!
Sculltellaria Incana and Indigo, also known as Skullcap, is traditionally used in Chinese medicine known as Huang Qin.
I am finding in my passion, that Purple Flowers tend to be NERVINES and ALTERATIVES!
They can't help they primarily contain active chemicals baicalin and baicalein, two compounds that have been studied for a wide range of healing properties.
How about this compound being known for Neuroprotective properties of the brain along with Improved Sleep Patterns AND improved Cognitive Enhancement? Yes! Brain food please! These main compounds are also known to FIGHT CANCER!
Once again, another purple flower that effects the brain positively! Perhaps the purple color can remind us that these plants treat the 7th Chakra system which is the Pineal Gland and Pituitary gland. Is this a coincidence or is this how our Green & Growing Ones relate to us Visually? After all, they are beautiful to look at! They call our attention for certain.
A member of the mint family, skullcap is rich in nutrients including antioxidants known as flavones that reduce the effects of oxidative stress on various tissues in the body
In alternative medicine, skullcap is sometimes recommended for the following:
Inflammation
Insomnia
Hepatitis
Epilepsy
Atherosclerosis
Cancer
Anxiety, tension, and stress
I began to sit with Skullcap at the tail end of COVID. I was working with the Nervines and I must say, Skullcap provided the most long lasting relief for my anxiety. It brightened my mood and allowed me to step outside and get some fresh air. It is better as a tea than a tincture. I discovered mixing it with alcohol polluted it's gentleness.
Please check back. I do have Skullcap brewing. If you want to preorder, subscribe and Ill be happy to save you a bottle from the personal Apothecary.
Each medicine I prepare is done with great ceremony and care, blessing and singing to the plants with music appropriate for each session chosen by the alignments of the stars. I give full intent of healing and calling out there special properties in each step of the process.
These things matter, as does how a flower blooms, when it is potent, and when it is not so potent.
I leave you with this today ...
... in a field of many blooms, i turn to you...
the most beautiful blossom of them all!
Wildly,
Aiyana <3
