A Few Words on Belladonna

Atropa Belladonna

A Few Words on Belladonna. When working with Belladonna in a non-blended form we really get how distinct each one of these plant’s personalities are and how when combined, the sum of their parts creates a new singular voice and personality much like many different instruments merge together to form the harmonious sound of a symphony.

Belladonna is so soft and gentle in her approach (like the violins). It's common that I don’t notice her immediately, rather she gently creeps in and at some point I start being aware that I can feel her love throughout me.

In the Victorian era, a treatment for a woman’s monthly was cloth treated with belladonna and then inserted…it would have not only relieved cramping but also eased any emotional and/or irritability aspects that many women experience at this time as well. I market these truffles with the focus on the expansive work we can do with them, but that relaxation and stress reduction is real. That pain relief is real..I have several customers that swear by our Belladonna Rose Truffles for migraine treatment. 

The experience, like with most of these nightshades, can be tricky to describe, but when we can stay present with our minds and our psyche there is so much potential for clarity and insight. Deep rooted healing and compassion that lasts and becomes the impetus for healthy change or accepting and finding peace with things that have tormented us for years. We are shown the missing pieces that help us finally understand.

The Belladonna Rose was the very first truffle I created. The idea just came to me and it came together so effortlessly and everyone loved it. This original offering is back in rotation and I encourage you to experience her loving embrace.
