a moment in time ~ the magic of crab apple

by

This image reflects a moment in time.

Beckoned by the sweet streams of light…
Come closer.
You walk slowly up the stairs , after a long day , to pause … feeling the warmth of a ray caress your tired eyes .
A slight upward curve to the corners of your mouth emerges, subtly parts the lips , and sound comes .
A sigh .
And then more sounds.
Though not from your body … it is the exhalation of another . Unknowing of origin , the symphony of breath generates a whirlind of movement . Each pink petal all together , and at different times begin to fly . In the center of a tornado … gazing in awe as the feeling of euphoria flurries within the center of your being.
Enlivening, rejuvenating , calming.

This is how one simple drop of crab apple gemmotherapy extract feels in my body. Like spring in a bottle !

In higher doses it can be supportive of women during various transitions … puberty, pre pregnancy, and perimenopause. It does not surprise me that this extract has an affinity for feminine cycles. Its tonifying effect increases the elasticity of the walls of the uterus as well as the intestines . It has high levels of antioxidants , and can influence cellular level clearing. Because of this it is best used when elimination is uncompromised… otherwise aggravations may emerge on both emotional and physical levels. It can harmonize the central nervous system and can be very supportive when one has lost any inspiration for change and feels muddy or stuck. With the feminine , if there has been antibiotic use which has affected menses rhythms, or perhaps a very early onset …crab apple can assist in the regulation of it. It assists in harmonizing the production of estrogen and progesterone.
