Spruce Resin Medicine - A Cooperation of Woodpeckers, Trees and a Medicine Woman

A cooperation of Woodpeckers , trees and a Medicine Woman 


Woodpecker went through this part of the woods and created lots of holes in the trees ... 
the resin flew abundantly from the Norway Spruce and I collected a big share.
Now it will make for a wonderful atmosphere in winter -
with help of a herb burner 
****************************
Spruce Medicine :
spruces are symbols of the sky and directional guardians of the north.
Spruce resin is a very thick, liquid organic mixture containing essential oils (turpentine) and resin acids.
It is produced in the special glands of the tree and is then secreted in the resin canals.
It's main purposes are to protect the tree, heal it's wounds and to prevent drainage of the tree.

Remedies from spruce resin are used in traditional folk medicine to treat a wide variety of pathological symptoms, particularly for healing wounds, ulcers, inflammations and other injuries on the skin.
Spruce resin is also widely used to treat respiratory problems. Spruce essential oils, which are contained in resin, helps to disinfect and purify lungs and respiratory passages, which is why they are used in cases of asthma, cold, cough and tuberculosis.

Most European records on the use of spruce resin ointment can be found in the Scandinavian countries. A homemade ointment from spruce resin and unsalted butter, which is used for healing wounds and ulcers.

Lemming teaches us to examine our  lessons .
Lemming shows us how to think outside of the box and demonstrates courage.
Lemming is solitary in nature especially when population booms. Lemming teaches how to balance and manage our personal time with others.
Are you following others? Maybe it's time to think for yourself and voice your opinion?

Sheep Medicine - Renewal and Compassion

Sheep Medicine :
On the high Norwegian Mountain Plateau a Nature Reservation , there are free grassing sheep to keep the grass and other things down and work for the balance of the natural environment .
We took a time out on our journey and just sat us amongst them - in stillness and with an open heart. It was a wonderful experience how they observed us , checked us in from a distance and then after about half an hour a mother with her young one cautiously approached us , sniffing on us , decided that we are okay and then let her young ones come close to us .
In these times where glorification of busy is sooooo overrated , we miss the moments that stopping, stillness and patience can bring to nurture our souls .
******************************************************
Sheep spirit animals represent an innocent aspect of yourself; your childhood, child-like qualities characterized by innocence, gentleness.
Sheep is the symbol for renewal and compassion.
