Here are some of our favorite flowers to use:
Calendula
Calendula is an amazing healing flower because it can help reduce a variety of symptoms, inside and outside of the body. If you’re suffering from a cold or the flu, turn to calendula tea to help you kick it. When you’re dealing with eczema or have other skin ailments, like cuts and burns, you can use calendula petals mixed with olive oil as a salve for healing.
Angelica
Angelica has many healing uses, but it’s often given to the elderly and to children as a system-strengthening tonic. Angelica can be used to treat the digestive system, coughs, colds, and more. It’s extremely fragrant, so consider making a tea with Angelica if you think a warm soothing drink before bedtime will pick up your spirits when you’re sick.
Gardenia
Chinese medicine relies on gardenia for cleansing the blood, urine, and other internal fluids. Gardenia can help with physical injuries when its petals are applied in a carrier oil like coconut oil. This healing flower’s fragrance also works as a mental healing agent by helping to reduce depression, anxiety, and stress.
Rose
Roses contain vitamin C, so feel free to make up a bit of rose water to drink when you’re trying to get rid of a cold or flu. Many people don’t know that roses are extremely safe for human consumption. Rose petal tonics can help mild cases of constipation and rose tea can assist with blood circulation. Creams and pastes made with rose petals offer amazing benefits to dry and cracked skin.
