Beauty

The first recorded medicinal use of elder dates back almost 2,500 years to Hippocrates, the father of medicine. Elder has been regarded as the medicine chest of country folk due to the large variety of herbal medications that are derived from the plant.

Elder expresses a serene, wise energy. The flower essence stimulates powers of recovery and renewal of the vital life energies that rejuvenate. When body and soul are revitalised, you can be imbued with the sense of wellbeing that boosts vitality and self-esteem.

Negative self-perceptions, poor self image and stuck emotions weigh down on body, mind and soul. The aging process can also lead to a poor self-image. If you do not feel good about yourself, the stress placed on your body as a result of your unhappiness will affect your overall wellbeing. How you appear is a direct reflection of how you see yourself, what you believe about your appearance, and how you feel about your body. Energy follows thought.

Elder essence opens the inner eye to the beauty that is within – for the experience of beauty is being in balance and harmony with your true nature. Thus empowered, your inner beauty radiates through you as youthful vitality and wellbeing.

Be the light and beautiful being that you truly are. Relax the desire for perfection and stimulate your natural powers of regeneration and renewal.

Reveal your youthfulness and vitality.
