My day was just made by the sweet patch of violets who just popped up in my yard for the first time ever! Like a new friend coming to meet me.
How fabulous that it happens to be two days after being introduced to this plant’s intricate offerings and characteristics in class on Thursday.
Violet is prone to concentrating its healing on the heart space. I mean just look at the flower, it melts my heart just looking at it.
It’s moist cooling soothing effects are gentle and effective for healing internal inflammation, specifically lumps in the breasts and upper abdomen. It’s methyl salicylate compounds relieve mild pain and tight headaches.
The leaves are packed with nutrients vital for the function of detox and body replenishing systems.
Our bodies face so much oncoming stimuli and responsibilities, often we are left with no time to care for the vessels that so willingly take us through this earth journey. Violet as well as every other plant in our environment is here to show us how to be. How to be in relationship, how to be in community, how to be healthy, and nourished! They are the teachers.
I am so filled with life by this growing connection between myself and the plant kingdom that rules us like a wise grandmother.
Hail to @acornherbschool and Heather Luna for a window into her brain and her vast knowledge of medicine and life. It has been the beginning of what I know is a lifelong relationship to the plants. I am so grateful to have taken the opportunity to expand the range of strategies in which to integrate my life with nature and tradition, and integrate nature and nutrition into my life.
