St. John's Shield 2 oz

Many of the flowers for the Flower Essences Services Repertory are grown in a wildflower preserve and garden sanctuary. Located on 27 tree-studded acres in the foothills of California's Sierra Nevada Mountains, this sanctuary is called Terra Flora. The gardens at Terra Flora received official Biodynamic certification in 1997, a classification that actually predates "organic" by several decades. While it encompasses many of the principles of organic farming, Biodynamic agriculture fosters the idea that each farm or garden is in turn connected to the Earth as a living being, and the cosmic rhythms of Moon, Sun, planets and stars that support the Earth’s true identity. The flower essences of this line reflect this harmony.

Fresh blossoms of St. John\\'s Wort are hand gathered during summer solstice and St. John\\'s tide. The flowers are infused into pure oilive oil and then solarized until the oil turns ruby red. Vitamin E oil is added and the essentail oil of St. John\\'s Wort is potentized into the mixture, along with two other pure essential oils which provide spiritual protection and heart-centeredness: Angelica and Rose Geranium. finally the flower essences of Love-Lies Bleeding and Borage along with St. John\\'s Wort are added to help the soul realize inner light, buoyancy and spiritual serenity during times of emotional challenge.
