Mapacho - N. rustica
Collected in 2024

I find this essence to be similar to the pink N.icotiana but unique in its own way... Mapacho Flower Essence offers us a stabilizing and protective energy. It is helpful for times of uncertainty, periods of travel, and getting clear on intentions. I find this essence to be incredibly beneficial when dealing with chaotic energies, people, or situations.

T.obacco has a long history of use among many cultures throughout the world, especially the Americas. It is a profound plant for spiritual stability. Before its unfortunate modern demonization, it was (and still is) used for its medicinal and spiritual qualities. (There are no active constituents of any kind in this essence.)
The flower essence of T.obacco has an amazing grounding energy to it, that calls us to find our center in the midst of daily life and even chaotic upheaval, grounding us especially in times of distress.

Mapacho in particular has a considerably higher amount of alkaloids present than our usual t.obacco (remember, essences don’t contain any physical properties of the plants) and so has been used ceremonially as a purgative and cleanser for thousands of years. Smoke of Mapacho has the ability to ward off evil, cleanse one’s field, dispel unwanted thoughts, and much more. This energy is definitely felt in this essence.

Working with Flower Essences is a call for personal ritual. Create a time of intentional interaction with these Essences. For example, try to curate your schedule to where you can have a moment of stillness to invite the essences into your body. It’s best to not be dropping these emotional allies into your mouth while running out of the door, watching tv, tackling your to-do list. Instead, try to take even just 5-10 minutes to really be with the essence in stillness. Having a journal to log what comes up for you can be really helpful. Taking flower essences right before bed invites the flowers to communicate through dreams, so track your nighttime adventures in your journal too. Taking a flower essence with the intention of being creative can be really revealing as well!

Remember, these are emotional and energetic medicines (essences) and are in no way meant to replace professional medical or psychological aid. 
You can put the drops directly into your mouth or into water and drink. 
Essences can also be absorbed through the skin, so you can add them to a bath, on your wrist, on in a fragrance mist.
We do not touch the flowers when we are making the essences, so you are getting purely the essence of the flowers. Remember, these are NOT fragrance oils or extractions.
