The following is a list of Plant Allies which have been coming forward to help with the pandemic. This list is by no means exhaustive, nor does it imply that you need any or all of these to help. I feel that it is best to work with those Allies which speak to you personally. These are simply some suggestions. Also, I hope that it goes without saying, these are not meant to replace medicines or a doctor’s advice. While some of these Plants may be suggested by others as herbal remedies to help with the virus, they have come to me as emotional/spiritual support during this time.
Overall, these Essences help support through grief; ground and center us; support the Heart; and give us courage.
