Lore holds Bittersweet Nightshade as a mender of broken hearts and a protector from evils. It fills our hearts from what's within and heals the cracks, crevices and breaks. It gives us the power to share the truth and power of our love exactly as it is. Bittersweet Nightshade opens us to seeing the light of our heart even when our being is cast in shadow. Bittersweet Nightshade shows us the rich benefits of the shadow side and thus gives us access to more light and more love within.

Bittersweet Nightshade is part of the Firefly Haven Collection and the Poison Patch Collection.

The Firefly Haven Collection is inspired by the summer nights that beg us to stay awake, lit by the stars in the sky and fireflies just above the land. This set includes Orange Daylily, Pink Yarrow, Purple Coneflower, and White Chiffon Hibiscus Flower Essences. This set is intended to help ignite the fire within through the gentle, yet strong energy of the Heart Protector.

“Here come real stars to fill the upper skies,
And here on earth come emulating flies,
That though they never equal stars in size,
(And they were never really stars at heart)
Achieve at times a very star-like start.
Only, of course, they can't sustain the part.”
- Robert Frost, Fireflies in the Garden

The Poison Patch Collection is inspired by the duality of Yin and Yang, Shadow and Light. The shadow side is darker, colder, inward and more vulnerable. These remedies allow us to go deeper within ourselves in working with the shadow. Flower essences are a safe way to work with poisonous plant allies. Poison plants are known for their emotional healing properties as they bring shadow to light and light to shadow, illuminating the duality of life and gifting us with the clarity of our experience and purpose.

“Without shadow, we do not know light.”
