Mishaps don’t give warnings. Topical herbal remedies, those we use externally on skin, deserve star status for first aid. Options for topical herbal first aid remedies include compresses, poultices, ointments, oils, salves, soaks and washes. Yarrow, a premier first aid herb that can stop bleeding, cleanse wounds and take away symptoms of inflammation, is our focus for today.

Flowers have the ability to deepen our personal experience with herbalism. Flower essences extract energetic elements of a plant and gently nudge our spiritual growth. Join me in my garden to prepare a flower essence with yarrow blossoms.

Flower essence extract preparation
Steps:
1. Infuse flower blooms in spring water in sunlight or moonlight
2. Strain flower essence water and dilute 50/50 with alcohol to make a Mother Essence
3. Dilute once again by mixing 50/50 water and brandy and add 1-7 drops of Mother Essence
