Grief Tender is a beautiful elixir with Elderflowers, Pink Hawthorn blooms, Damask + Galica Rose petals, and the flower essence of Foxglove. Crafted in late spring, Elderflowers + Pink Hawthorn were gathered from the forest called Honey Lane, a very special place I’ve been visiting for a few years. A forest where I’ve made many friends, met Foxglove, where Deer and Cattle made their home, where bones return to the Earth, and where life continuously feeds on life. Each year this forest becomes more magical, and this year Foxglove was especially abundant and asked to be included in this portion. I love working with this elixir in drop doses, vibrationally, in moments when my heart feels heavy, when I’m moving through grief or sadness, connecting with plant Spirits to let them hold my heart, my whole being. This potion is delicious, and the taste of Elderflowers comes through strongly. It is beautiful to connect with this Autumn season. In TCM, Autumn corresponds to the lungs and large intestines, and the emotions of grief + sadness. As the seasons shift, we naturally may feel these feelings arising. Plant allies help us feel and move through what may be coming up for us right now, whether loss or unprocessed grief, and help us release + let go of what no longer serves.
Elder is one of the most ancient medicines. Many of our Ancestors worked with Elder as medicine and in rituals for protection, purification, spirit communion, fertility, renewal. Elder is a gateway to the world of spirit and the realms of the dead. Queen of the underworld, an ally for transitions, when we are moving through grief. I’ve sat with Elder when I needed advice, when I felt lost and alone, grieving the loss of Elders, human guides in my own life. They held me so deeply. Physically, Elder supports our immune system, esp. during seasonal transitions, at the first signs of cold or flu, and has the ability to shorten the duration of colds and reduce viral replication. Elderflowers are also worked with to support the respiratory system and induce sweating + lower fever.
Hawthorn + Rose both belong to the Rosaceae family. Heart healing, protection, boundaries. Hawthorn is a guide + protector of the heart, known as a portal to the Otherworld. This year I met pink blossoms, which feels extra special, esp. when it comes to our hearts. Hawthorn is a tonic for the heart, physical + spiritual. They strengthen the heart, improve circulation, may help lower blood pressure, and also support vascular elasticity. Hawthorn holds us during times of loss, grief, heartbreak, or emotional stress, helping us settle our spirit, nourish + nurture a heavy heart. Hawthorn helps us transform deeply buried grief, resentment, heartache, or heartbreak, restoring hope, love, trust + forgiveness, reminding us of our strength + resilience. A beautiful guide. Teacher of loving + healthy boundaries.
Fragrant petals of Damask + Gallica Roses. They are love, heart medicine at the core, embodiment of Divine Feminine energy, unconditional love + compassion. Venusian plants like the Rose nurture our emotional + spiritual hearts. Physically, Rose helps to cool down excess heat, reduce inflammation throughout the body. Rose acts as a gentle relaxant for the nervous system, easing mental excess, anxiety, stress. Rose helps soften a cold or closed heart, offering heart protection + boundary medicine, teaching the importance of recognising when to set a boundary so we do not take on the energy and emotions of others into our own being.
The flower essence of Foxglove completes this medicine. The energy of these magical beings is pure love, love beyond comprehension. Foxglove has a sweet and nurturing presence, helping us to remember our innate playfulness + joy, a powerful ally for inner child healing. Foxglove is a heart tonic that acts upon the heart energy center, allowing consciousness to shift into a state of unconditional love, compassion, forgiveness. This potent plant ally is esp. supportive when working with grief that has not yet been fully felt or processed, particularly within relational contexts. The flower essence of Foxglove helps us heal these tender places within us, easing heartbreak, loss, anger + rage born from experiences that have caused our hearts to close or harden over time. Sometimes, emotions can feel too painful to face, so we may tuck them away until the moment we are ready to feel them. Foxglove meets us there, helping us with opening the heart, dissolving self judgment and guiding us toward the root of our wounding with compassion.
Take 3-7 drops as needed. Use during times of heavy grief, loss, or seasonal transitions. Can be taken straight or mixed with water. As physical medicine take one dropper full up to 3x per day.
