Albiziae Potion // collective happiness plant

Calm the spirit & release constrained emotions.

Albizia julibrissin "collective happiness" tree brightens my mood by sheer by the sight  and smell of the floating pink pom poms puffs. This tree--the bark and flower, have been used for centuries in Chinese medicine; you'll commonly see it indicated for such things as anxiety, depression, loss, grief, and insomnia.

I've seen the flower work magic for uplifting the heart, calming the spirit, unbinding constrained emotions, allowing joy and enjoyment again. I use it in more acute situations than I do the bark which seems to work a bit deeper, when you're ready to confront and transform the cause of the imbalance, ready to move through the feelings.

In the same way it fixes nitrogen (like other pea family plants!) it seems to gather all the dispersed feels and bring them in, anchoring them for the real work. That's just my opinion. I love to blend a little bark extract with a bunch of flower extract & a dash of honey.
