Red Huckleberry - (Vaccinium parvifolium)

Therapeutic theme: to experience the power of introspection; allowing ourselves to be nourished by taking time to digest; storehouse of intelligence, discretion, and spiritual wisdom; regeneration
Signature: Small shrubs growing in coniferous forests often emerging from the dead stumps of other decaying trees. The tiny red berries were used by native people for food and medicinally as a gargle for sore throats.

These tiny red berries are like little beacons of light that illumine a path through the dark forest. Obviously providing food both for humans and animals, they nourish both the body and the soul.
This essence helps us to claim the power of going within, of introspection, of hibernation. Gives us the ability to withdraw from "the madding crowd", the rush and "busy-ness" of our daily lives, all the things that we think are so important. Often it takes some sudden, unexpected shock to move us to this deep inner place. Red Huckleberry helps us to go within with ease, and reminds us of the power of nourishment and regeneration contained in hibernation.
This essence helps us to attune to the cycles of nature both on the planet and within our physical bodies. It's O.K., and even desirable, to get more rest in the dark winter months. One of the reasons that people suffer from dis-ease like S.A.D. is because they insist upon doing the same level of activity in the winter as they do in the summer.
