If you are in a place where you cannot meditate, visualization is a good alternative. This involves closing your eyes and imagining a calming scene. This could be your favorite beach from your vacation or the forest from your last walk, for example. Feel the peace and relaxation of this moment.

This is why it is said that the liver creates vital energy from food. Bitter makes the liver happy, heart and soul happy!

Very well known is Mugwort for its ability to promote fat digestion. It stimulates the liver to produce more bile and the pancreas to release more fat-splitting enzymes. This combination is still used in traditional cuisine today. Fatty roasts are therefore seasoned with dried mugwort - and it tastes great too!

Aurum brings light back into the system as the metal of the sun. It also helps with depressive moods, as darkness spreads through the system and melancholy gains the upper hand. Aurum strengthens the connection to the self, gives trust and confidence and thus helps to overcome the dark phase.

Nervous exhaustion is usually preceded by massive, prolonged stress. During this stress, the stores of B vitamins, iron, zinc and magnesium are depleted. Oat is the perfect plant to replenish those empty stores, as it contains everything the nervous system needs to function properly.
