About the Allies

Dandelion root

Dandelion is grounding & nourishing herbal ally lending us the gifts of being present, healthy, & grounded. She works as medicine for many systems in the body including the digestive, blood/circulatory, lymphatic, immune, reproductive, hepatic, etc. 

I love to interpret the physical benefits of herbs into energetic ones, so if you are open to playing along in your own way, Dandelion root is a fun one. When plant allies like Dandelion are helpful for digestion & the skin via prebiotic & liver support, for example, a question may be asked, “how can dandelion also support my being in digesting/processing experiences/insert situation emotionally or spiritually? As she works from internal to external, via kidneys, liver & skin, and the skin is our boundary and surface to the outside world. Roots also help us be present, rooted in reality, on the earth, in our bodies, integrity, stability, strength etc. Her bright sun-mirroring blossom is pure joy medicine! 

And like the child blowing wishes of seeds into the wind, may all our blessings be taken by earth’s breath, spread far and wide.

Although blends and elixirs are lovely and Sacred Software curates with great intention, It is important to me to also encourage human-herb relationships where we commune with one plant being at a time, in all its forms and offerings (raw if safe, tea, tincture, etc.) to best connect and get to know them and how they mingle with your person.
