ORGANIC LIME BLOSSOM TINCTURE 1:3 100mls
Notes: Lime blossom has a traditional role in reducing nervous tension and its affects, hence its use in migraine and nervous headaches. Mental stress and worry can be accompanied by a whole range of symptoms, mental, emotional and physical, including headaches, and sensations of tightness in the neck and solar plexus, strained muscles in the face, a racing mind, difficulty in getting to sleep or sleeping throught he night, the unwitting adoption of an uncomfortable hunched posture, memory difficulties and interference in the smooth workings of the many bodily systems that respond to mental cues for their unconscious functioning. This is not to say that one thing necessarily causes another, simply that each is a component in a cycle and each depends on another to keep that cycle going. We have to intervene in the cycle at a convenient place to create a new healthier and more balanced cycle. For example, when we notice our posture becoming strained and uncomfortable, we can attempt to relax and this will send a message to our brain saying we are okay. Another option is lime blossom tincture, or lime flower tincture, once a popular tisane for 'nerves', and still used in the treatment of nerve-centred conditions.
