One of my fascinations with plants is seeing where their physical properties and the ‘personalities’ cross. As a medicinal plant (usually taken as a herb tea) Herb Robert has many health benefits -over the centuries it has been used as a treatment for cancer, cleaning out kidneys, for pain relief, healing wounds and absorbing radiation.It brings oxygen back into cells making them work more effectively…. for me Herb Robert’s ability to help us overcome (and/or accept) our sensitivities is a massive help in protecting and strengthening us against any dis-ease, illness and ailment, whether this be of the body, mind or spirit.

Its soft hairs and blushing stems, it’s lightness of being, its delicate leaves, its minimal roots all speak to me of air (oxygen) and so it is no surprise that physically this is how it brings it’s healing.

“Sometimes we forget how sensitive we are. We put on our protection to get us through life, to help with the everyday bangs and scrapes but ignoring the delicate flower we are inside.
Although this helps us cope it can make us detached and insensitive to others and prevents us being fully present and alive.
Herb Robert essence reminds you that it's OK to be sensitive and delicate. Taking it provides you with the right amount of protection so that you can honour your own true self and shine your own special light without being crushed.” Saskia on Instagram

“Herb Robert as a flower essence reminds us about sensitivity.... just look at how protective those little hairs are 💗
It reminds us to go easy on ourselves, and others. It holds us back when we might have charged forwards with unkind words giving us time to realise that we are all sensitive beings but that some people find it far easier to hide it.
.
It can be very good for shy people who blush easily, those who carry their heart on their sleeves and feel things deeply and because of that get hurt easily.
If you are feeling particularly sensitive, taking just a few drops twice daily of this very lovely energy can bring balance and protection and understanding. It can help with communication in relationships bringing a new level of understanding and intimacy and empathy.
It helps you to try and always be kind, especially to yourself and your loved ones - you never know what people are really going through and why they might be behaving the way they are.” Saskia on Instagram

“ Herb Robert essences reminds us about sensitivity - our own and that if others...it helps us interact in a sensitive but also direct way, it protects us from the forcefulness if others.
Often sensitive people can seem hard and 'bullish' - a trait that hides their sensitivity, a behaviour that has developed as a protection but that has then become a habit.
Herb Robert is a great essence to take if it is time to be more open and sensitive, if old hard patterns need releasing.” Saskia
