Caregiver Flower Essence

 

Alpine Mint Bush is a flower essence created by Ian White, founder of the Australian Bush Flower Essences and fifth generation herbalist. I have had the great fortune to study with him and to hear first hand the stories behind all of the flowers, their doctrine of signatures and their healing properties. Ian's videos on YouTube are wonderful to watch as he takes you to the location where he will make the Mother Tincture (see photo below) and describes the many aspects of the flower.

This flower grows in exposed rocky sites in the alpine and sub-alpine areas of south eastern Australia. This Essence works on the mental and emotional levels. It is for people who work in healing, health administration and caring situations where there is a great deal of responsibility for other people. They give much of themselves both physically and emotionally, often listening to people in pain and need. These care givers can be in danger of burning out or becoming disillusioned. They can reach a point of tiredness feeling their life has lost its joy. Alpine Mint Bush can revitalize and bring about in these people a renewed enthusiasm and joy in their life for what they do.

I suggest this flower essence for mothers, teachers, adults caring for aging parents and anyone who needs support to continue doing what they want or need to do.
