Ladies Bedstraw  Galium verum

This is a different variety of Ladies Bedstraw than the Ladies Bedstraw which grows in America and which we offer in the Green Hope collection.  This cousin to the new world Ladies Bedstraw is a kindred spirit with some common areas of service as well as its own unique gifts.

Unlike the American version with its tiny white Flowers, this variety of Ladies Bedstraw is a rich golden yellow. Growing abundantly on Omey, its tiny Flowers created a golden haze of blossoms sitting just above the low growing magenta Thyme blossoms which also covered the island.

During the middle ages, Ladies Bedstraw was used to fasciltate easier childbirth.  With its lovely perfume, it was also used as a fragrant stuffing for mattresses.  Coumarin is part of its chemistry. Then and now this is a known anti coagulant.   However,  in all my conversations with this Flower, it stressed that its great gifts as a Flower Essence concern the mental body NOT the physical body.

"I AM a great untangler of mental knots, anxieties, worries and other concerns that can fill the night hours when restful sleep would serve a better purpose.  Consider me when your nighttime thoughts go in anxious, unsettled, agitated, or restless directions and sleep eludes you. I smooth and calm your mental field by helping you untangling and release habitual mental tangles.

I AM a great help to chronic worriers.  I help you unburden yourself from these worry habits.  Yes, I get things untangled, released and flowing in the mental body which of course makes physical clots and blockages that much more unlikely.  This is because the underlying mental tangles which can lead to physical blockages have been released."

I AM the complete untangling and full release of mental tangles.
