The mallow family of plants is quite large and graces the springtime with soft colored blooms. Their flowers have been explored as flower essences by a few companies mainly FES and Delta Gardens. There is a softness to the plant which translates to its healing qualities as a flower essence. The softness is also evident in the marshmallow candy, originally made from the root of the marshmallow plant.
David Dalton of Delta Gardens offers a flower essence of marshmallow which encapsulates the softness, it is indicated for a hardening of the emotional body. A marsh is a watery place and the element of water is associated with the emotions. The delicate looking flower is white with a purple center. Its main indication is for helping us to soften our feeling around other people particularly those that we do not like. The essence also helps us to get in touch with the love vibration when feeling hurt or angry.
The mallow essence FES offers has some interesting cross pollination in terms of effects on the personality as the Delta Gardens essence. The FES mallow (sidalcea glauscens) is indicated for those that feel socially insecure, they create boundaries and fear reaching out to others. This dovetails nicely with Delta Gardens mallow which helps to soften to those that we do not like.
They both work at clearing the harder feelings around socializing and relationships with other. They are both working with the second chakra in its relationship to the heart chakra helping to unite the two in greater harmony. This is a powerful and important function that can assist soul growth on many levels, bringing the gentleness and warmth of the heart into our social sphere.
