According to the Buddha, one can contribute to world peace by first ordering one's life. After that, it is possible to order one's family, neighborhood, town, province, country – and finally the world. Research by Saskia's Flower Essences, located in the United Kingdom, points to pennyroyal flower essence alleviating confusion, bringing a new dimension to this powerful flower essence that has been used most often to cleanse negativity.
Christine Felce and Saskia Marjoram, creator's of Saskia's Flower Essences, located in The United Kingdom have much new information to deliver about pennyroyal, an essence commonly used in the flower essence community to cleanse auras. Their work with the essence points to another level of new uses for this elixir.
Pennyroyal May Alleviate ConfusionIf pennyroyal can alleviate confusion, it surely has myriad applications. They range from clearing personal confusion to aiding in the learning process and may address disorders such as dyslexia, according to Felce and Marjoram.
Pennyroyal, the Great Balancer
In addition, pennyroyal shows promise in helping to curb addictions. According to Marjoram, "Pennyroyal has often come up for people who have an addictive personality, for boys who are scared of showing their soft/intuitive side," She notes the essence's usefulness for women who must engage their "strong" side, perhaps as a function of participating in a very yang society. She notes that most people who use pennyroyal have been given it as a gift, rather than purchasing it themselves.
Chive Flower has a long reputation as being a male / female balancer; however, it appears that pennyroyal may function in a subtly different way through allowing the female aspect of the self to bloom and flourish.
Pennyroyal Essence for Feelings of Not Being Good Enough
In a world of conflicting messages, most people have received the message of "not being good enough" at some time. Many people confront this message routinely, resulting in a battered psyche. Another facet of pennyroyal elixir appears to be the ability to bring clarity to this dysfunctional societal message.
Seven Years and Counting
Felce and Marjoram began their company seven years ago, after having positive results using other people's essences. Both essence makers have a long history of working with flowers: Felce is a certified homeopath, while Marjoram has been a florist. Their first essence was Nan's Polyanthus. Their current essence line features sparkling elixirs of more than thirty flowers, including pennyroyal.
They see flower essences as personally and therapeutically chameleonic . That is, while Felce and Marjoram have mapped new applications for pennyroyal, and others have used it for clear crystals and auras, it very possible that pennyroyal and all other essences adapt to the user, giving the those taking the drops whatever the soul of the flower can provide. With nearly seven billion people on Earth, it is possible that pennyroyal and its kin elixirs speak as many individualized languages.
