Blue Vervain, dried
According to Edward Bach of Bach Flower Essences, the blue vervain person is highly driven, motivated and exerts their will upon the world in a powerful way because it is fueled by a vision, dream, inspiration, or a calling.
The extreme stress that this type of person may experience from the pressure they put on themselves can lead chronic fight or flight mode. This means the body stops sending blood to our core organs (the liver being one) and focuses on sending blood to our outer body (aka our muscles and limbs) to prepare to battle what our simple mind perceives as a scary external threat (aka a giant bear threatening us). When this becomes chronic, our liver gets less and less fresh oxygenated blood which makes it super difficult for the liver to effectively process all the “bad blood” that carry all the waste products and toxins that the liver is in charge of processing. This leads to liver stagnation and can cause a number of different symptoms including the most popular symptoms of liver stagnation—liver tension and spasm which can be experienced as stiff neck, shoulders, and tension headaches. So if you experience tension headache, with excess heat, rapid pounding pulse, and stiff neck and shoulders— blue vervain is the remedy for you. The nervine sedative qualities will relax the blood vessels allowing blood to flow more freely; the bitterness will drain the vital force down and away from head, neck and shoulders; and the artery that feeds the liver fresh blood will open back up.
