Henbane Flower Essence 2 oz.
Henbane is a plant well embedded in the folklore of many European and Middle Eastern cultures. Long used as a medicine for relieving pain, suppressing overactive immune function, and as a deliriant entheogen for contacting the underworld. Flower essences are vibrational energetic medicines and contain infinitesimally small quantities of the plant molecules, just like a homeopathic remedy. This form is the only form that I feel safe offering to the public. However, do not take that to mean that this medicine will not have profound effects when worked with on a regular basis. Even for myself as someone who typically takes high doses of tinctures find that I can only handle this remedy for a few days at a time.
This remedy is often used for making contact with our ancestors. Accessing the gifts that we have received in our lives from them, our innate strengths. Though we owe much to our ancestors and carry their gifts with us throughout our lives, we also carry their trauma. Some call it epigenetics, ancestral trauma, or karma. To me, they are all one and the same. This remedy helps to bring up this stuck inherited trauma and brings it to the surface so that we may deal with it. It can be difficult to confront these issues but it is what helps us to start living more in our truth and no longer tied to these ancestral patterns that no longer serve us. Truly a medicine of power. With Saturn, it teaches us how to have strong boundaries and find structure in our lives. Releasing ourselves of coping mechanisms that don't serve us on our path.
Flowers of Henbane were set into a crystal bowl to infuse in the sun on the day and beginning on the hour of Saturn its ruling planet. It was meditated over and then diluted into fresh spring water and brandy.
Dosage:
Either taken under the tongue, added to a beverage, placed upon the body, or added to the bath. Saturn is all about the number 3 as its place on the Tree of Life. Be that 3 drops once a day or 3 drops 3 times a day. Taking 3, 6, or 9 days in a row. Whatever feels right for you, but keep that pattern of 3 in mind. Saturdays are especially powerful days to work with this remedy.
Ingredients:
