🌸 Held by Flowers Salve 💐

Held by Flowers Salve 🌸

Held by Flowers is a Medicine I’ve been dreaming up for a few years now! This year finally I was able to plant & tend to a field of California Poppies growing along the Salish Sea to have enough to harvest for this salve. I’m so happy with how it turned out & I hope you all love it too!

With California Poppy, Wild Rose, and Yarrow. Three close Flower relatives that bring healing in their own, potent, and beautiful ways. The scent of the salve is very light, as no essential oils are added. The Rose doesn’t come through strongly for me, I can pick up more so on the California Poppy & Yarrow, but again, it’s subtle (but really beautiful!).

There are *so* many ways to work with this Medicine! Easing tension held in our bodies, easing pain, and bringing spaciousness to areas that are ‘holding too much.’ I’ve been massaging over my spine where there is tension, as well as lower abdomen for cramping, and am amazed (but not surprised) at how they bring ease.

Massage over sore or tight muscles to bring ease & relief. May also support neuralgias and nerve related pain. I love massaging this one over the back of my neck and around the ear/jaw for easing tension that causes headaches, especially for those who clench their jaw at night or during the day.

Yarrow are one of my go to topically for easing cramping, and mild analgesic (pain relief) qualities. They’re particularly potent for moon time cramping, as well as abdominal cramping/gastric cramping.

May also be worked with for minor cuts, scrapes, bruising, as well as bug bites.

Spiritually, or metaphysically, these Flowers come together to bring deep healing, lineage repair, invoking protection + warrior medicine, Ancestral + this lifetime re-patterning (think somatic holding in our bodies of patterns too), Heart softening, boundary Medicine. I could go on… and we know the physical, metaphysical, spiritual, emotional, all weave 💐 I hope you all love this one & I can’t wait to hear your thoughts!

Ingredients: California Poppy grown along the Salish Sea, Wild Rose, Yarrow Flowers, Organic cold pressed Olive Oil, Beeswax

Work with Held by Flowers: Apply anywhere you are feeling extra tension, aches, cramping, pain ~ lovingly (if possible) massage into the body to call in more spaciousness & ease tension. I’ve found this one particularly supportive for tension in the low back, as well as mild lower abdominal cramping. May also be worked with for minor wound healing, bruises, scrapes and bug bites.
