This Gardenia tincture is made with the fresh flowers that bloom seasonally in my own garden. For this reason, supplies may run out and won't be re-stocked until the following season. This medicine will differ than many other Gardenia medicines, which primarily use the fruit of the plant and lean more into detoxifying and digesting properties, whereas the flower is more supportive of the emotional body and nervous system.

Gardenia flower tincture is said to possess anti-inflammatory, anti-depressant, anti-anxiety, and aphrodisiac properties. In Traditional Chinese Medicine, Gardenia flowers have been used to release excess heat from the body's systems and increase yin energy in the body. 

Gardenia Benefits

This flower's medicine has been used as an aphrodisiac, for stress relief, to sooth headaches, subtly aide digestion, release pain and inflammation in the body, detoxify the liver, reduce anxiety and feelings of sadness, reduce PMS symptoms and cramping from menstruation, improve cognition and memory (especially for elderly people or those experiencing symptoms of Alzheimer's), and lower blood pressure.

Ingesting the medicine of fresh Gardenias has a softening and restorative affect, creating a gradual shift in nervous system tone (I find that this is noticeable immediately, but also integrates more deeply over time).

One of Gardenia’s unique and rare gifts is her ability to bridge innocence and sensuality, creating a level of safety in the body that promotes authentic self-expression and the gentle circulation of energy throughout the body’s systems. Sometimes this comes in the form of emotional release through cathartic crying, or as the impulse to move the body and release information that has been stagnating in the fascia and connective tissues.

You may notice while working with this medicine that you experience a softening toward emotions that you’d previously avoided - Gardenia provides us with the emotional support needed to feel deeply.

All of these mechanisms can create a level of safety in the body that also allows us to open ourselves up to more pleasure. Sensuality, freedom to express, and safety in the body and heart blend together to create potent aphrodisiac affects, especially for women.
