Lily of the Valley (Convallaria majalis)
Therapeutic theme: allows for freedom of choice by discovering the simplest mode of behaviour
Signature : The tiny white bells look so real that you can almost hear their soothing chimes. The gentle fragrance calms the mind and transports us to a place of unconditional love.
Lily of the Valley brings us back to that state of child-like innocence and wisdom where we only know how to respond with loving behaviour. It puts us in touch with that place within ourselves that existed before our lives were complicated by "shoulds" and all the other layers of conditioning we learned in order to survive and to get love and approval.
Lily of the Valley is an emotional tonic which helps us to see "through the eyes of a child." It connects us with the inner radiance and vitality in the heart centre. It helps us to listen with the ears of the heart and gives us the courage to express ourselves with clarity, trust, simplicity and ease.
People who live their lives bound by convention and seeking social approval can benefit from Lily-of-the-Valley. Through its gentle energy each person can access their own unique essence within.
In eastern Europe Lily of the Valley is used as a cardiac tonic and contains some of the same chemical constituents as Foxglove which produces digitalis.
