USES

Dandelion flower essence connects with the solar plexus chakra, where we store a lot of our issues related to fear, anger, and self-worth. It helps you release negative feelings toward yourself and others, and battles addictive and compulsive behaviors and thoughts. This flower essence assists those who feel like they are caught in a cycle and therefore can’t enjoy the natural flow of life. It teaches these individuals to listen closely to their own personal needs and live in a more effortless, natural way.
