St. Johns Wort Flower Essence
Sale Price: $10.00 Original Price: $10.00

Freshly harvested flowers were solarized in a crystal bowl in spring water on the afternoon of June’s strawberry moon. To ground the uplifting energy of St. John’s Wort, the mother stock is placed under the healing light of the full moon. This was a time of tremendous cosmological and astrological movement—this flower essence concocted to provide both focused energy and centeredness.

Before use, activate the bottle (tap 10 times in your palm), then drop 3-4 drops under your tongue 3-4 x daily or as needed to ground and enliven.

This is a very special essence and I wish to share with as many as possible.

Contains: St. John’s Wort, spring water, brandy
