definition

Salmonberry (Rubus spectabilis)

Therapeutic theme: physical tonic; spinal alignment and structural balancing
Signature : Bright pink flowers on 6 - 12 foot bushes with prickly canes.
The name originated along the Columbia River where the natives ate the tender shoots with salmon roe. The berries are quite sweet and edible.

Another remedy of self-expression, Salmonberry works primarily on the physical body. At birth we take on a physical body and through our life experiences and how we respond to them we create a map on which our energy blocks and holding patterns are discernible. Salmonberry works on bones and muscles and fascia and aligns the spine. It is an excellent remedy to use at the time of injury. Over the long term it can help with chronic misalignments of the physical structure if there are accompanying attitudinal shifts. Through the Bladder channel on the back we can access all the other organs through the back Shu points which run bilaterally on both sides of the thoracic and lumbar spine.
It is said that every thought we think and every feeling we feel is recorded in the physical. Although the results of this essence are reflected in the physical its effectiveness is due to its ability to erase the originating thought or feeling.
