Grief Relief extract

In 2025 I change this formula that included Motherwort so our beloveds who are pregnant can work with this formula, too. Now with Hawthorn, Mullein, Milky Oat Tops, Lemon Balm. Same intentions and outcome, a little different, improved even, as I am always learning and growing along with The Plants. 

The addition of Lemon Balm as an aromatic helps move the formula through us, but also helps broaden our perception. It's all heart medicine. 

For those with Mother - Child specific grief - eco grief, this formula is full and also, you can absolutely add Motherwort, also available in 1 oz tincture. When in doubt, have a call or email with me and I bet I can whip you up a version of this customized. 

Plant Teachers:

Hawthorn - when we experience great loss, are emotionally pained, our hearts can become closed off. Am imbalance of boundaries, because we can't shut out the Love of this wild world, or from within ourselves. We can, and should, protect our hearts. 

 

Milky Oat Tops - warming, soothing, nourishing to the nervous system and a swell ally when we are reducing the uses of less than ideal coping mechanisms. grief rocks our world. let's reduce the harm. 

Mullein - they say grief is held in the lungs & if you have felt this, it's such an odd sensation of sharp pain. Loss steals our breath. Mullein helps us hold and breath deeper, with the pain, despite the pain, in the pain. 

Lemon Balm - a panacea pal bringing gentle uplifting action to the formula, and our hearts. 

 

Notes from 2024 I/we could probably write volumes about the energetics of Grief - is it love with nowhere to go? Is it love going everywhere? It is most certainly an aspect of Love, and disappointment. We grieve for a world we may never know, we may never see again, for People, for the social conditions, for the world. 

We know our feelings are meant to be felt, and that the feelings and sensations and thoughts connecting to Grief can be truly, deeply debilitating. Somehow, we find the ways to carry it with us, and these Plants grown here are not the only Plants that help us with the spectrums of grief, but it's our humble offering to help care for you - and your body and sensations - helping to reduce further risk as we grieve, however we need to, for as long as we need to. 

A blend for the warrior. I honor your pain and loss. 

Directions: shake and add 1-5 drops /cup of tea or water 1-3 times a day, as needed, for how ever long you need. 

 

2025 update 

some days, yes even here, I don't know if I can bear it. I dance around. I take a hot shower. My partner makes sure I eat even though I don't feel hungry. Ravenous, of course. I catch a glimpse of my face in the window and I almost don't recognize this face. I can picture it, me walking into a room looking like this and someone asking "Did somebody die? What is wrong?"

 

and none of my beloveds have died, praise Goddess, and there is also so many kinds of grief for the losses of all kinds. 

So I made the new formula. Cause we all need help sometimes holding all of this.
