Milk Thistle

from $18.00

Boundaries

Only blooming in the Spring-Summer in their second year of growth, Milk Thistle teaches us the power in standing firm and tall, and that we will still attract the pollen of life. Bright violet in it’s stamens and flower, Bee still knows where to go to bring the abundance to the flower. Milk Thistle grows to 6 feet high, with roots deep and wide in the earth. Her leaves are lined with milky veins, a thorn and poke at every graze. You cannot approach this plant without extreme presence and caution; without this - you will be pricked. The prick itself does bring us into awareness, much like the Scorpion’s tail.

Milk Thistle is a plant associated with the Spring season, the organ of the Liver in Chinese Medicine and Folk Herbalism, and detoxes the pathways of the body.

Take when you feel:

  • Your boundaries are being tested

  • You need to assert boundaries, verbal or physical, perhaps for the first time

  • You are taking inventory of your life and would like support seeing what you may need to cut away

  • Saying No is uncomfortable, foreign, or needs to be reintegrated into your vocabulary

Effects:

  • Clarity and awareness around what you need to say No. to.

  • Throat chakra healing

  • Voicing boundaries

  • Knowing what’s mine and what’s yours

  • Sassy fun in saying No, or even F. No.

  • Seeing that when we say No to what doesn’t work for us, we make space for our YES

Milk Thistle flower is one of Gaby’s single handcrafted essences. For a custom blend, book a session.

Single essences are available in 1 oz bottles with your choice of organic brandy or organic glycerin, as well as ½ oz bottles in organic brandy.

The Stories of the Flowers in this Remedy
Milk Thistle is a plant associated with the Spring season, the organ of the Liver in Chinese Medicine and Folk Herbalism, and detoxes the pathways of the body.
Made in Ceremony
Each essence has called upon Gaby in meditation to be made. It is through our human bodies that Earth and Spirit co-create, and essence medicine is a perfect expression of this sacred partnership. Every plant is harvested with intention—Reiki, prayer, and presence—crafted in sacred space alongside the Sun and spiritual guidance.

These essences are created with reciprocity and reverence, in alignment with the Wise Woman tradition and the harvesting ethics taught in Braiding Sweetgrass by Robin Wall Kimmerer. Gaby opens and closes each ceremony as she would a healing session—with the Seven Directions, Reiki, and deep co-creation between Heaven and Earth. The flower essences are the living bridge.
Sourcing
All ingredients are organic. All packaging materials are recyclable and compostable.
