CHRISTMAS BUSH Chromolaena odorata

When I met this Flower for the first time, I suspected it would be a marvelous Flower Essence.  Its presence was sparkling and its Flowers closely resembled Boneset, a veritable font of healing energy and information.

When I went to research this plant, I found it is a well known healing plant, used in topical creams throughout the world and studied by many scientists.  It is used clinically in the treatment of soft tissue wounds, burns, skin infections and for plastic and reconstructive surgery.  Its leaf extract has anti-oxidant, anti-inflammatory and anti staphylococcal properties.  It enhances the growth of fibroblasts and endothelial cells.  Fibroblasts provide a structural framework for many tissues and play a critical role in wound healing.  Endothelial cells line the entire circulatory system and reduce friction of the flow of blood, allowing fluid to be pumped further. 

As a Flower Essence, Christmas Bush will do what all Flower Essences do.  It will offer a road map for healing without bringing the actual chemicals of the plant to bear.  It offers a tutorial to our own electrical system about how to maximize our own wound healing, circulatory flow and viral and bacterial resistance capabilities.

Christmas Bush clarified that its wound healing gifts extend well beyond the physical body and that this should be an Essence considered for emotional wounds as well.  Since beginning to offer this Essence we have noticed how often the Angels suggest it for wounds beyond the physical dimension, particularly relationship wounds.

I AM the safe closure of all wounds.
