Milkweed

Milkweed: Dramatic Transformation

Asclepias syriaca; Asclepiadaceae. Common Silkweed, Cottonweed, Silky Swallowwort, Virginia Silk, Wild Cotton

Milkweed works as a catalyst during the dramatic shifts we make at pivotal times throughout our lives. Radical change and transformation is an integral part of nature. During passages such as birth and death, major career changes, or marriage and divorce, Milkweed acts as an antidote to fear-based reactions. It helps us shift from one life-experience into a completely different one. A tough and versatile plant, Milkweed is useful in balancing pH levels in the body. Add this essence to animals’ drinking water, particularly when they crave green grass.
