I know nothing. Tell me more.

I almost want to have a conversation with Yarrow.


Tea in hand, "Tell me what you know!".

Don't have time to read?

 

 

 

Why?

This plant stimulates and astringes (contracts and tones) the veins. What does that mean? Imagine blood flow is very slow in one area of the skin due to cold weather or some other problem you have. Maybe old scars. You see a darkening of the skin, a pool of blood just sitting, creating enlarged veins.

This plant comes and moves the blood but also shrinks the enlarged veins. I understand the moving of the blood, but how does it know that if the vein is still enlarged, blood will create a pool again?

Yarrow has a mind and intelligence.

 

Yarrow is alive. Yarrow has a purpose and a mission, and it wants you to know that it is ready to help if you have a slowing blood flow in any area of your skin. I use it inside the Winter Solstice to heal the effects of cold weather and bring blood to the skin's surface. 
 
When the Epidermis = the top layer of the skin is exposed to the cold air, It sends the message of cold directly below the Dermis. Blood vessels in the Dermis constrict so that your warm blood bypasses the skin to conserve your body heat so you survive in the cold.
But why is it important that you have good blood circulation on your skin?
 
Everything that you eat and the air you breathe turns into healing energy and is stored in your blood. Just like Yarrow, you are creating a medicine inside your body. We want that blood to reach the skin's surface so that you heal yourself. Yarrow knows it. Yarrow isn't healing you. Yarrow is just giving you a helping hand. It helps you adjust to the conditions of your environment.

Mind-blowing. I find these plants and how they work mind-blowing. 

The cold weather creates a hardening of the skin. Marshmallow root is a powerful emollient. It softens and breaks up hard skin tissue, which easily happens in winter. But you would think this plant only softens the skin, right?

Well, would you believe that this plant also helps with the hardening of personality, inflexibility, intolerance, and inability to feel one's emotions? Through centuries, it has been used for emotional healing: body and Soul. The marshmallow plant knows that the body and the soul are not separate. It says that I am not only here to heal the hardened skin but the soul as well.

It says that I am patient. I wait until sceptical human beings discover me.
 
You know what, marshmallow plant, Ezgi made a promise to herself to stay in the beginner's mind. She says every day that she does not know anything, and she is open to ideas and knowledge. She no longer says, "I know it all. In fact, her mantra is I know nothing. Tell me more..." 
 
If I use some ingredient that you can't even pronounce the name, that would be beauty, that would be cosmetic. In this corner of the internet, nature speaks inside every jar, every bottle.

Use Winter Solstice to heal the effects that the cold weather has on your skin. Extreme dryness, deep wrinkles, scarring, hardened, overall dull-looking skin...

Use daily at night and before you leave the house after your Flow ritual. OR, if you are not experiencing these symptoms, use it as a mask once or twice a week to give your microbiome a boost.

The rest of nature inside the Winter Solstice will be speaking soon, and we say, "I know nothing. Tell me more".

 

with all my love,
Ezgi
