Valerian Flower Essence

$18.00

30 ml (1 fl.oz)

A flower essence of fresh valerian (valeriana officinalis) flowers. The flowers were ritually harvested from the poison garden and mindfully prayed over. A flower essence, made from a significantly diluted solar infusion of water and fresh flowers, is a gentle way to work with this beautiful, sweetly scented, mildly toxic sedative flower.

Valerian is used in Bach flower essence therapy to encourage self-esteem and self-love and reduce the need for external validation from other people so you can be happy being you and being alone. Valerian is medicine for your inner child who did not receive enough love and affection from family and unconsciously find themselves in codependent relationships with friends, coworkers, and lovers. In folk magic valerian is a dream herb par excellence and can be used to aid in dream work, dream divination, and lucid dreaming.

Flower essences embody a living tradition of magical herbalism. In use since the early 1900s, flower essences are not tinctures but diluted cold water infusions of the fresh flowers which are harvested in a mindful ceremony and prayed over. Developed by Doctor Edward Bach in the early 1900s, they are meant to be ingested in homeopathic amounts to help with emotional pain such as fear, uncertainty, loneliness, oversensitivity, burnout, sadness, and trauma. Flower essences made from poisonous plants are safe to ingest and can be used for spiritual cleansing, magical rituals, anointing, and plant spirit communion.

We sell flower essences as 30 ml stock bottles. A stock bottle is simply 50% best brandy and 50% aquifer water. Three drops of a flower’s mother essence are put into this stock bottle and we ship it to you ready for use. The mother essence is the pure cold water infusion of the fresh flowers which are harvested ritually, prayed over, and infused in the morning sun for a couple hours before straining and using to make stock bottles. The finished flower essence you receive is a diluted version of this mother essence preserved with the alcohol. There are only three drops of a mother essence in each bottle of our flower essences.
