The head and the heart both serve vital roles in our existence. We need to use them both in balanced ways for our wellbeing. The head is home to the conscious mind, and the heart is home to the Loving soul. It is only when we succumb to the duality of the head that we find ourselves going back and forth in indecision. Yet, if we only use the heart as a guide, we can be taken advantage of or potentially be put in greater danger. Logic is crucial in making the right decisions for ourselves and for all. Three plant essences that can help guide us into harmony with both the head and the heart are Nutmeg, Palmarosa, and Sugandha Kokila.
Nutmeg is a seed essence that has been used as medicine, a Love potion, in incense, and as flavoring in food. She is great for digestion, parasites, circulation, pain, the lungs, impotence, reproductive health, and as a hair tonic. Energetically, Nutmeg helps facilitate the heart and mind coming into sync. As a chi warmer, she helps to restore harmony, center the entire being in Love, and provide an open, stress-free energy of healing insight and clarity.
Palmarosa is an herbaceous grass essence that is used in Chinese and Ayurvedic Medicine for cooling, calming, and healing for the joints, the lungs, and the liver. She is anti-viral, anti-fungal, and great for helping the ear/nose/throat, infections in the body, colon and pancreatic cancers, the skin, the nervous system, insomnia, and chronic pain. Energetically, Palmarosa is calming and cooling, allowing for space to soften the masculine mental energies, and let go with the feminine flow of emotions. As we release our limitations, we are able to think outside of the box and harmonize the heart and solar plexus chakras for deeper healing.
Sugandha Kokila is an evergreen tree essence that has been used in Ayurvedic Medicine to tone the digestive and nervous systems, to cleanse inside of detergents, fragrances, and cosmetics, and to flavor tobacco. She is anti-viral, anti-fungal, anti-inflammatory, and helps the immune system, pain, gas, arthritic conditions, rheumatism, headaches, insomnia, and so much more. Energetically, Sugandha Kokila helps to clear the heart center, focus on what is working, and create from the balance of mind and heart together.
To address the harmony between head and heart with plant essences, anoint each one over the heart and onto the bottoms of the feet for best results. Use 5-10 drops of each plant essence, 2-3 times a day. They can be anointed to other places on the body as well when using intuition. Follow the heart and allow the plants to guide the way.
