i've been waiting to have an excellent easter lily tincture in my shop for a long time.
*please read this information carefully*
while it is very safe, this remedy needs to be taken properly
and you need to understand that it will change your menstrual cycle.
your first cycle after a round of easter lily may be physically, emotionally and spiritually difficult.
your skin and cycle are the detox pathways for this remedy and they may go a little haywire.
it is a deep cleanse. i am here to meaningfully educate + support you in using this beautiful remedy mindfully.
it’s not dangerous or unsafe, but it does need to be respected♡

this is an incredible low dose remedy. i haven't found anything that can truly replace it.
it has given me clear solutions for issues that were a struggle to manage in the past.
somewhere in the realms of 1-5 drops daily for 2-4 weeks is a proper course.
you do not need it forever
it does not work palliatively in the moment.
it works on deeper root issues for very lasting change.
although you may only be taking it for 2-4 weeks, you will see the effects evolve over many months.
it is a very unique remedy. very occasionally, it may be appropriate to do a softer course a minimum of 6-12 months later.

a gentle reminder that i am dedicated to trauma informed care and there is no judgement in this space. sometimes clients need to include something sensitive in their health history that should be mentioned so it can be addressed in a regimen, but doesn't need to be discussed in detail. that is always your right and everyone deserves sensitive and meaningful healthcare♡

i use easter lily tincture for:
-acne + skin issues
-PCOS
-any kind of cysts
-certain patterns of fertility troubles
-serious cycle imbalances
-endometriosis (nothing is better for meaningful change)
-recurrent UTIs and/or BV and all subclinical issues in this realm of discomfort and presentation
-people who have been treated for STDs and still feel discomfort
-skin issues, cycle issues, reproductive issues, sexual issues or emotional health issues that showed up after toxic relationships,
trauma or serious loss. please see more below
-PTSD and trauma recovery (specifically sexual or religious trauma)
-stuck feelings and spiritual contemplations and struggles about forgiveness
-ill effect to medication that had lasting consequences even after discontinued use

easter lily is a remedy that deeply cleanses the skin and the female reproductive system.
this remedy is a *great* specific for PCOS and is my go to remedy for cysts in general.
it is absolutely safe for men and while it may seem specific for very female issues,
it can be a wonderful remedy for males for several reasons, physically-emotionally-spiritually.
men do not tend to have the ‘scheduled ordeal’ that menstruating women do, but it will still clear toxins through skin and other avenues. i’ve had reports of some nice crying that may have been long over due.

*how to take it*
although most herbalists i've read about use easter lily for somewhere between 2 weeks to 1 month,
you will see big change in how your cycle manifests over several months.
it's good to start easter lily the day after your period ends.
1-5 drops once a day for 2-4 weeks is in the realm of reasonable dosage.

*it is so so important to note: your first cycle after the easter lily may be a bit of an ordeal*
-physically, emotionally and spiritually.
to get lasting change, you have to clear some gunk out of the way.
this is the kind of remedy that can show you how thoughts and emotions can affect you physically.

despite this warning, i get panicked emails often from women who are just getting their first cycle after easter lily.
that is completely fine and i am so glad to answer these emails and reassure you!
i just want you to have informed consent so you can proceed with some expectations and confidence.
we can also make a plan and make sure you have some remedies for stress/anxiety and to help smooth out a difficult cycle.
grabbing a skull cap tincture and a small bag of mugwort tea could make a huge difference!

to reiterate:
-your cycle will change.
-it may be more painful or heavier. you may have dark clotting.
-easter lily is a deep detox remedy that clears toxicity.
-your skin may break out badly.
-you may feel very emotional.
-it may drudge up old wounds.

*a note on endometriosis and serious cycle issues*
i have taken two rounds of easter lily in the last few years.
i took it before i had endometriosis surgery and it was enormously helpful.
i tell you, i had tried everything. my daily life was strongly limited from age 22-31.
after my second round of easter lily (which, full disclosure, was very difficult.)
i got on a regimen of st johnswort tea once a day for a couple weeks, then off for a couple weeks, to manage the daily pain and inflammation.
it was very meaningful support. st johnswort cannot be taken with most medications,
but this is just an example of how we can get meaningful solutions and relief from minimal remedies. there are lots of options.

i’ve had clients with chronic, serious cycle imbalances get wonderful results. give it time and space to work.
i also tell clients to *please check your calendar and make sure your first cycle after easter lily is not going to fall on an important occasion.*
treat your body well while you’re working with the remedy, not just for the few weeks that you take it,
but for the several months that follow.
eat well, sleep well, exercise and move your body. help your body do the work.

i like to have people take easter lily alone or with a very intentional regimen.
i’d be so happy to help you figure that out.
let's set you up for success.
if you have a complicated health situation, which is definitely possible for this remedy, please reach out.
you don’t have to figure it out by yourself
and for the sake of your benefit and comfort, let’s at least talk about options.
then if you need to reach out with questions, you’re already set and i already know the situation at hand.
i do my best to educate you fully and be meaningful support when you reach out
because i know that it’s not easy to find meaningful support or solutions.

*a little aside on seeking meaningful solutions for cycle issues*
i know that people look to trillium for endometriosis, but i do not think that trillium alone is the most meaningful intervention by any means.
in my experience, work on the root issue as much as you possibly can. then you reassess and see what’s left to manage palliatively.
i tell you with my whole heart, it’s better to use the whole month to work on your cycle imbalance
rather than to just try to manage a difficult issue while it’s in full force.

i think we end up in difficult situations and think that only something rare or novel will be some silver bullet for us.
look into my tea ‘boundaries’ or look into the benefits of raspberry leaf alone.
i’ve had women who believed they had endometriosis clear up so nicely with commonplace emmenagogues.
congestion in reproductive spaces is enough to cause serious cycle imbalances and infertility, and congestion can be resolved easily.
we can usually tell after a month of a remedy like ‘boundaries’ what we’re really dealing with.
maybe you’re all the way better, maybe a lot better, sometimes there is little improvement.
when you have little improvement, we know there’s something deeper going on.
there are also some sneaky lifestyle imbalances that can really set you up for a bad cycle.
(ie: exposure to cold, cold or raw food, cold drinks, excess caffeine or alcohol, certain medications etc)
in which case, it's better to remove the trigger than to have an extra large iced coffee on your period♡
i feel you and being a human is hard sometimes. stay cute♡

*taking too much easter lily*
i actually took too much easter lily on purpose to spare you the ordeal if you’re a fellow skeptic.
i use this remedy reliably for serious cycle issues and as someone who has been there,
i know that you may read 1-5 drops of tincture a day for several weeks
and think ‘that will never work. i need more.’
please believe me when i say, *you do NOT* need more.
and in fact you will probably face pretty immediate discomfort.
easter lily causes what it cures at inappropriate doses (a typical homeopathic proving)
-you may feel like you have a sudden yeast infection and/or UTI
-you may get excess discharge and vaginal burning and discomfort.
it passes within an hour or so, but you want to pace yourself with deep cleanses.
you don’t want to push for too much at once or you’ll experience the repercussions.

i go through an enormous effort to make excellent, high quality remedies. then i get people who think 'these don't work'
and go way overboard. then uncomfy things happen and they get scared: a tale as old as time.

*deep detox*
i will say honestly that my slew of health issues was the direct result from a pharmaceutical injury.
as i took easter lily at way too stiff of a dose, i could feel my insides burning. my skin went crazy, full body break out.
i could feel that it was pulling deep toxins out too fast. i had to take epsom salt baths and drink st johnswort tea every day until things settled out. is this common? *NO!* i took too much and i had a serious detox issue at the root of my imbalances. my period was also a complete nightmare. too much too fast. i don't recommend it.

i thought that over the years i’d had plenty of detoxing.
daily detox, dandelion root, burdock root, barberry root, yarrow, blue vervain, black cohosh and so much st john's wort etc.
i truly thought i’d done my best to detox well- both through water and oil pathways in the liver.
but the easter lily, though very quiet at low doses, ended up being the most profound detox experience i’ve ever had by far.
i have not read about anyone using easter lily to clear complex toxins, but i’m very sure that there is a meaningful connection.

quiet yin remedies can be very strong in a way that's difficult to understand from a western point of view!
while its physical utility is very apparent, it seems to equally be a spiritual remedy.

*spiritual and emotional uses*
easter lily is also a great specific for having imbalances in the spiritual/mental state related to ideas surrounding sex and purity.
this much is common gnosis for easter lily. thank you matthew wood for your lovely write up in 7 herbs: plants as teachers.
this is a big spectrum- anywhere from feeling rigid, harboring feelings of guilt, fear, feeling unclean.
to feeling like there is no sanctity in sexuality and being excessive, misguided or undiscerning.
there can be religious and spiritual trauma here. there can be sexual trauma. there can be a lot of complicated stuck feelings here.
sometimes people respond to trauma or repressed emotions by acting out sexually one way or another.
i have no horse in this race and i don’t care what you do, but i am very proud to offer an excellent remedy to help people find meaningful solutions and support in their explorations. so much pain and neurosis comes from memories or ideas that we can’t figure out how to release or transform.

i’ve also had experiences with releasing PTSD triggers and contemplations of forgiveness through easter lily.
i like to use this remedy for clients who are in therapy (commonly taking medications) and are getting nowhere with it.
i have a lot of PTSD clients who use an integrated approach and have done so well.
i also have a lot of clients who are thinking about embarking on healing journeys but need some support, emotionally and herbally, to get started.
easter lily may bring up emotions and memories, but i found that instead of just feeling triggering,
it was more so one last hurrah before it was released.
i have had other clients say the same thing, that they felt deeply unburdened post easter lily.

i know that this is so much information and a lot to think about. i consult for free for your safety and benefit!
you can message me and i'll get you information so you can send me an email or text me.
there is always the option for you to remain anonymous in our work together and i am very glad to help in any way that i can.
please reach out with any questions at all!
