Honeysuckle

From The flower Attunement Guidebook

Honeysuckle is bittersweet. Its actions help with all ailments, from respiratory to digestive problems. This delicate little flower is -nonetheless- a powerhouse of healing. It is sweet to taste but bitter simultaneously, helping it relieve digestive issues. Honeysuckle has extraordinary antiviral and antibacterial properties. It's been used to treat tuberculosis, salmonella, and brain swelling. Medical astrologer Nicholas Culpeper describes Honeysuckle as having “a Jupiter quality.” Medicinally, Jupiter is the fire element that remedies inflammation (think fighting fire with fire). Jupiter reminds us of the sweetness in life. Honeysuckle's bittersweet qualities help us let go of what holds us back. Sometimes we want to do it all over again, a second chance if you will, but it's a trap. It merely disallows us to grow and expand. Honeysuckle roots deep into the Earth and can climb, expanding upward and outward, much like its effect on the body. Fun fact: it is deeply loved by goats, and its Latin name was given in honor of the Capricorn.

Flower essence captures the plant's vibration without using any plant material in the final product. It can be taken as a tincture on its own or mixed into water, tea, or any beverage of your choice. I suggest adding one drop to water three times daily. These essences can also enhance a bath experience.

Flower essence tinctures work by modifying energy flow through the typical acupuncture meridians. Shifts in these energetic patterns influence the consciousness in helpful ways, both emotionally and physically. These homeopathic remedies can be described as “vibrational” or energy medicine. Flowers themselves contain the highest concentration of life force energy of the plant. We can harness the flower's healing vibrational pattern and energy through the sun infusion method. This is imprinted in the water and then preserved as medicine. Preserved with brandy but can be replaced with glycerin upon request.
