Essence of the Week: Bulgarian Lavender (Lavandula Augustifolia)...

Bulgarian Lavender is a wild-harvested flower essence from Bulgaria that comes from an evergreen, woody shrub with beautifully scented violet-blue flowers. Since the 70's/80's, Bulgaria has been the largest producer of Lavender in the world. The Latin word Lavendula comes from the word "levare", which means "to wash". Lavender has been used for thousands of years to help clean wounds, repel bugs, heal burns, and flavor foods.

Bulgarian Lavender is anti-viral, anti-coagulant, and anti-nausea. She helps fight infections, pain, headaches, bugs, and earaches. This amazing flower treats blood pressure, heart palpitations, and the arteries. Bulgarian Lavender is a spleen and liver cleanser that stimulates bile production. She is great for the skin and issues like abscesses, ringworm, blisters, lice, psoriasis, and many others. Energetically, Bulgarian Lavender addresses anxiety, stress, tension, and negativity. She helps to strengthen boundaries so we can feel in harmony with ourselves and the world around us. When we are ready to relax and let go, this is the best plant healer to support our peaceful manifestations.

Anoint "neat" directly over the area(s) in need. 5-10 drops is a good starting point. For sleep, anoint the bottoms of the feet right before bed. Continue for 120 days and journal your experience with this healing plant medicine.
