Often, a plant's physical appearance can give us clues about its energetic impact. Horse chestnut, a big, strong, feisty tree, is an excellent example. Everything about this tree is big and energetic--it grows quickly into a tall tree with a wide domed crown of leaves, and produces plentiful bunches of white flowers and nut-like seeds, called conkers or horse chestnuts. Its essence, unsurprisingly, is an excellent choice for anyone who would like to feel physically or emotionally larger, stronger, or more robust. We recommend this essence for children who are not growing at a healthy rate or who have a low appetite, and for people of all ages who are underweight, poor eaters, or have poor nutrient absorption or digestion. It can also be helpful for those who struggle with low vitality, physical depletion, adrenal exhaustion, and chronic fatigue. On a spiritual level, horse chestnut is useful for those who feel small or insignificant; its calm, reassuring energy can help to lift depressive moods and reassure us of our own strength.

Healing is Simplicity in Essence

I've finally posted the second article for Gardenia! As I learn more about flower essences and herbal remedies, I also learn more about the simple nature of our bodies, healing and the connection we all have to the Creator. In fact, this is one of the main reasons why Gardenia exists. I would love to hear your thoughts on this piece <3

We all know at this point that the name Astarion is connected to the word "star" (starry or little star).

But Larian decided that they wanted to go all in with the details and they delivered!

The flower you can place on his tomb in the final romance scene (which I think is such a cute and tender gesture and I love his reaction to it), seems to be an Ornithogalum umbellatum, a star-shaped white flower with six petals. Among the plant's many common names, there are summer snowflake, starflower, and star-of-Bethlehem.

Moreover, in the language of flowers, its meanings are related to trauma, mourning, and welcoming pain without repressing it.

According to Doctor Edward Bach (1886 – 1936), these flowers are "For those who find themselves in a state of great anguish due to situations that, in a given period, have caused so much unhappiness", and can be used to help with the aftermath of a trauma, the alleviation of pain and the mourning process.

Edit: every time I see an artist include this flower in their Astarion fanart my heart swells with joy. Love this community

Healing of the sky and flowers.

Borage Flower Essence being made. I grew my organic borage plants from seed, but it was not easy to get to blooms because our local marmot loves young borage plants. One essence practitioner I know uses borage essence extensively as a companion to other essences in blends to provide courage when going through a difficult illness or personal transformation. I test borage for these situations, but foremost I have found borage likes to help with depression.
