Thistle has been famously used as a liver tonic and blood sugar stabilizer. Due to its chemical component, silymarin, and its fiery action strengthening the liver, it is known for balancing our blood sugar and protecting us from diabetes. It also has a powerful effect on our minds. Mars rules the brain and moves our blood. Thistle has been studied to have a powerful effect on the brain and aids in preventing Alzheimer's disease. Silymarins in thistle help heal our minds; through this action, Thistle heals our whole body.

Painful memories due to trauma and shock can cause us to block out and even forget. But the unconscious mind never forgets, the human experience can be painful, and there's no judgment to need to self-remedy and soothe. Alcohol abuse and sugar addiction can be a sign that, deep down, what we are really seeking is a need for relief from painful memories and thoughts that are buried deep within. Thistle flower essence helps cleanse and detoxify the mind giving us courage and momentum to realize our fears and unburden our minds.

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.
