Asclepius Flower Essence
A combination flower essence that allows us to connect with the energetic potential of the god of dreaming and healing, Ascelpius. This essence holds the conscious resonance of the dream and waking worlds together, as a bridge or liminal contact point where our awareness of both worlds can emerge with meaning.
Contains: a stock essence made from the flowers of Common Milkweed (Asclepias syriaca), Swamp Milkweed (Asclepias incarnata), and Butterfly Weed (Asclepias tuberosa) in spring water, Grappa, and Brandy.
Dosage: This is a stock bottle so can be taken directly by the drop; 1-3 drops under the tongue or in water 2-3x per day or as desired. It can also be used to make a dosage bottle if that is a practice you're familiar with.
According to myth, Ascelpius learned the art of healing as an apprentice to the centaur Chiron and Chiron was an apprentice to the goddess Artemis. They embody the qualities of compassion, kindness, grace, the vital force, and the alleviation of suffering.
The dream temples of the Greco-Roman world were dedicated to the god Asclepius and those who came to these sites prayed for Asclepius to come to them in their dreams and heal them.
This essence is a “stock” bottle. A stock bottle is a dilution of the original “mother” essence made by taking 7 drops of the mother and putting it into a 60:40 ratio of spring water to alcohol and potentizing it by shaking. This stock bottle can be further diluted into a dosage bottle by taking 3 drops of the stock essence and putting it into 1/2 ounce of spring water.
