Mimosa - Medicine for Anxiety, Grief, & Depression
Two days ago I felt a heaviness in my gut. I had a hard time stopping the spiral on my own, so reached for Mimosa. A few drops of Mimosa tincture and within 10 minutes I felt relief. It’s truly magical medicine.
Mimosa is medicine for our uncertain times and if you live in a temperate zone, it’s probably blooming nearby. Mimosa is true to its name, which means “collective happiness.” Gather the flowers and strip the bark of young branches to make medicine that will relieve your anxiety, depression, rage, and grief.
Mimosa provides the calm and nervous system sedation, but it’s up to us to use that spaciousness to turn our stinkin’ thinkin’ around and reach for greater perspective. It helps you remember what peace feels like, but then you have to do the work to sustain it.
Taking Mimosa is like pressing a pause button on the negative thoughts, so that you can think clearly and decide how and if you want to reset. Remember the Staples “Easy Button” commercials? Of all the herbs I’ve used, Mimosa comes pretty close to providing near instant relief. But we have to decide what to do with it. Will you pick the issues back up or will you go within, use your tools, and reach for your wellness?
In this video, I teach you about:

Choose happiness!

Do you sell mimosa? I’m unable to find it growing in the wild in my region. I’d really like to try some. Right now, I’m taking a capsule blend: (st. johns, hawthorn, rosemary and red rose) three times/day for anger, depression, mood shifts and to soften my heart. I use a tincture blend: (lemon balm, shatavari and gotu kola) as needed throughout the day for stress and anxiety. I was feeling relief initially, but lately it has been not so pleasant. I’m trying to figure out if I need to dial back or just push through til things level out.
