Agrimony is such a useful flower essence I’m surprised it doesn’t sell more often. This is frequently the one to use when you’re first starting out with flower essences, especially if you’re not used to the idea of feeling your feelings, crying and letting them go. People who need Agrimony do whatever they can to smile, be happy, and distract themselves away from what is going on inside. In the extreme, this can take the form of drug and alcohol addiction. But almost everyone can use this flower essences from time to time. There are some issues we just don’t want to face! But if you are constantly compensating for or covering up these issues, they never heal.
This flower essence is especially helpful if you’ve ever had a headache, a rash, or some other unwanted physical response to a flower essence. Since flower essences are so dilute as to be mostly energetic in effect, a true allergic reaction is rare, perhaps nonexistent (unless you are allergic to the brandy or vodka used to preserve it). But I don’t know for sure, so I highly recommend not using a flower essence that you seem to be allergic to—that is common sense. Do not continue to use it if your reaction is severe! Still, for mild reactions, I find that the reaction is typically caused by resistance to facing the issues. Most likely, you’ve been using whatever emotional/mental pattern you chose your flower essence for to cover for those more difficult-seeming problems. Generally that is something from early childhood that was too hard to cope with by yourself back then. But not today! Unfortunately, the coping mechanisms we chose at that early age get pretty ingrained over time. When you attempt to dislodge them, all hell can break loose as that traumatized inner child kicks up a fuss to avoid going there. But don’t assume it’s some horrible big secret that’s going to be revealed. People prone to needing Agrimony more often than not were taught to hide their feelings away to keep the peace, to avoid upsetting mom or dad, or because that was the family norm. It’s how you were supposed to behave.
Agrimony can ease the way. If a flower essence is causing you physical distress and that does not ease up after lowering the dose, journaling or getting a counseling session, stop taking that flower essence and switch to Agrimony. Agrimony can give you the permission to face what is underneath and allow it to bubble to the surface so it can be healed. Then, if you like, you can take whatever flower essence is most appropriate to work with that issue more effectively.
I just re-added the scented version of my Agrimony dosage strength flower essence spray back into my Etsy shop.
You can also find the unscented spray or more conventional dropper bottle version.
