Healing Deep Trauma with Comfrey Flower Essence
Comfrey is an incredibly deeply healing plant. As a herb it is a cell regenerator, supercharging the healing process for any broken tissues in the body. This amazing herb is also called “Knitbone” because it helps broken bones knit back together. Yes it heals broken bones, but it also heals sprains, bruises, ulcers, burns, scars. As an analgesic and anti inflammatory, comfrey also reduces pain. You can use it for back pain, strains, arthritis. However never use Comfrey on a possibly infected or dirty wound as it will quickly heal the wound whilst trapping the infection in.
As a flower essence Comfrey is also an incredibly deep healer. Seeking to support us to heal trauma held deeply in our bodies and in our memories, comfrey acts like a regenerator to the cells of our soul.
In times of deep trauma the body and mind protect us by breaking parts of ourselves away. In this way we don’t experience the full force of the episode. This is a very important defensive strategy, allowing us to cope and carry on living even when terrible things have happened to us. In the long term though we need to reconnect to these parts that our trauma response has hidden from us. Without them it is impossible for us to heal fully. This is a process that shamans often called soul retrieval. It is also a process that is recognised in Psychology where our nervous system has become overwhelmed and our most primal coping systems have failed causing us to dissociate in a way that the unprocessed fear becomes locked in the body.
Comfrey Flower essence supports us to become whole once again. Much like Comfrey’s herbal action, as a flower essence Comfrey eases our pain, soothes our enflamed nervous system, processing our experiences, recalibrating our system and seeks to reform and heal all parts of our soul, making us whole once more.
Comfrey flower essence is perfect for those who have had traumatic experiences in their lives. This could be from childhood or any time in their lives. This could be remembered trauma or a feeling that something has happened to them, but they do not know what. Trauma can come in the form of abuse, grief and loss, emotional pain and in any case where the individual has experienced something in their lives that has deeply affected them and they are struggling to recover from.
