Self Heal (Prunella Vulgaris)

"Spiritual and Energetic Uses: Self Heal can be used to give strength to those suffering chronic, long lasting illness who are beginning to lose hope. It can encourage self healing and motivation and support self transformation probably not overly surprising given the colour of the flowers. Purple has often been associated with spiritual growth. Self Heal is the flower of magic and fortitude the ability to see the wonder in small things and use those as stepping stones to get you through dark times."

The 17th-century botanist Nicholas Culpeper wrote that the plant is called selfheal because 'when you are hurt, you may heal yourself'.
