Our Recovery EssencesTM are meant to help one return to the vibrance of life and living while recovering from any type of trauma, be it an old or a recent one.
We are actually rather stunned at the popularity of these essences. But they began outselling our others as soon as they were introduced! And since all sorts of traumas are so common and so potentially injurious to one's overall sense of well-being, we think you'll find lots of ways to use them.
Recovery EssencesTM help us reconnect with our strengths and abilities, qualities which often get forgotten or disconnected from our awareness when we've been hurt. Once firmly back in place, these strengths help us heal our wounds and move forward from the trauma.
May be purchased individually below or as a kit of all 16 essences. Single Recovery Essences are $9.50 and come in 1 oz dropper bottles. Wholesale/Professional prices are available -- email us for more info.
Calendula - "Recover Safety"
Getting hurt can commonly result in a disturbance of our feeling safey. Calendula as an herb is often used as a soothing and healing agent, and in essence form, it's very similar. It soothes us until we don't feel so raw and vulnerable, more ready to face the world again. |
|
Clivia - "Recover Inner Voice
Feeling wounded can mean we experience feeling vulnerable....a loss of our power. Often, one's willingness to speak up and be heard is effected, even to the point we ourselves don't hear our inner voice. Clivia helps us sharpen our ears to our inner wisdom and better identify our own needs and feelings. |
|
Coradylis - "Recover Trust"
Trust breaks due to one or several wounds. Broken hard enough, will we ever trust ourselves or others again? Coradylis is a kind of tightrope walker: it best grows clinging to the small spaces between rocks in vertical stone walls. Talk about trust! It knows taking risks is unavoidable and an important part of living. |

|
Daisy - "Recover Love & Tenderness" - "He/she loves, me, he/she loves me not...." Daisy is the sweet, simple flower traditionally asked to divine that answer. Daisy essence understands the sweet, simple feelings of uncomplicated, tender love. It teaches us how to melt the scars formed from broken-heartedness. |
|
Fireweed - "Start Anew"
Fireweed (also called Rose Willow Bay Herb) is the first plant to sprout and grow following a fire or other severe disturbance of the land. Where no other plant will grow due to the devestation, fireweed flourishes contentedly. After that first, stunning shock of trauma, fireweed knows just what to do, releasing its vitality and life-potential on the spot, and thereby aiding immediately with recovery. |
|
Foxglove - "Recover Authority"
How does a dog (or fox, for that matter) act after it's been beaten? It cowers and shakes when threatened; or it flies into over-blown defense at the slightest possibility of insult: it has lost its sense of real, steadfast authority within. Foxglove reaffirms our sense of inner authority, so we don't have to either be timid or overly aggressive. |
|
Joe Pye Weed - "Recover Resilience"
The name of this essence is more correctly "White Snake Root" (see below). |
Johnny Jumpup - "Recover Vitality"
Johnny is an early bloomer: he sleeps and conserves energy all winter. And, given a little springtime encouragement, he "jumps up" out of bed right into growth and flower. This storehouse of vitality is necessary when responding to trauma. If vitality is already low BEFORE the insult, then it is difficult to recover. Johnny Jumpup anticipates trauma and prepares for it. |
|
Helleborine - "Recover Intellect"
This essence made from a native orchid is a complex and elegant one: just like our intellectual capacities. But when under stress, it can be hard to think, reason, plan, and learn. Helleborine knows the lively, well-functioning mind. |
|
Lobelia - "Recover Calm"
Trauma can put us on edge...no doubt about it. Jumpy, irritable, on alert. Lobelia essence reminds us to kick back, let down our overly-stiff guard, and relax, so we may marshall our forces toward healing. |
|
Monarda - "Recover Commitment"
Trauma can stop us instantly in our tracks. It can divert us from our purpose and focus long after the wound has closed. Monarda (also called Bee Balm) reminds us of that which we were passionate about before life came to revolve about healing a trauma. (See Wand Flower below for a companion essence.) |
|
|
Pussytoes - "Recover Surrender" - The emphasis is on all the
characteristics of being "in the Flow." This includes surrender,
inspiration, creativity, ease of control, play, and spontaneity. |
|
Sauromatum - "Recover Perspective"
(see here for an article on this essence plus amazing plant photo) This essence helps us wake up to notice the cobwebs, piles of dirty laundry, friendships in disrepair, unattended dreams which got circumvented by some trauma or traumas. It is made from a very stinky flower, and thereby we recogize the "stink" in our lives so we can clean it up and let in the fresh air! |
|
Self-Heal - "Recover Confidence"
Nothing like a few bumps and bruises to shake our confidence. Self-heal knows that we would be a whole lot more effective and fulfilled if we believed in ourselves. |
|
Wand Flower - "Recover Momentum and Purpose"
The flowers of Wand Flower (also called Gaura) are held on long, graceful, stems. In a breeze., it is ever in motion. And whereas Monarda (above) reminds us of our lost passion and purpose, Wand Flower gets us moving toward them. (This essence was formerly known as "Joe Pye Weed.") |
|
White Snake Root - "Recover Resilience"
Ever see a young child fall down? Very often, they get right back up again unhurt -- a flexibility many an adult has envied. Flexibility is the hallmark of resilience, and it is necessary to recover well from any trauma. |
|
Yellow Loosestrife - "Recover Anger"
"Whoa!" you might say. "Who would want to recover their ANGER!? I've got enough as it is!" Anger has sure gotten a negative rap, and it's too bad because well-balanced, rightous anger is a powerful force for health. Yellow Loosestrife speaks to the HABIT of anger, as well as to those who have learned through trauma that it is never a good to be angry. In fact, we here have experienced greater generalized contentedness and less easy anger from its use. |
