Snapdragon

The essence of the snapdragon, as the flower’s name implies, is medicine for our tendency to “snap” in a communicative capacity. When we “snap”, we express anger in unnecessarily aggressive ways. A metaphysical reasoning for this tendency is that excess lower body energies, such as digestive and sexual, are being improperly processed via the use of voice, which results in mean, lashing expressions. The spirit of snapdragon helps to relax the use of the spoken word by imparting more balance and flowing of energies in rightful places within the body temple.
