Earth Deficient/ Excess Bailey Combinations

Earth Deficient Bog Asphodel (Narthecium ossifragum) Holly Leaf (Ilex aquifolium) Ivy (Hedera helix) Milk Thistle (Sonchus oleraceus)
Earth Element Keywords Sympathy, solidity, fertility, stability, security, comfort, centred, sensual and nurturing. Bog Asphodel is a flower for those who put their own needs last. It helps to give us the space to consider what we need and to energise those needs from a firm base. Holly Leaf helps us see things as they really are. It helps us to shed the bitterness that can so often arise when the outside world does not meet up with our expectations. Ivy helps us to hold on when other forces would seek to dislodge us. This is a supreme grounding essence, helping to underpin the vulnerabilities of Earth. Milk Thistle helps us to overcome the difficulties in our life that arise from a lack of the true mother love in our first few years of life. That lack of nurturing can seriously compromise this element in our own make-up.
Earth Excess Bladder Senna (Colutea orientalis) Dog Rose (Rosa canina) Hairy Sedge (Carex hirta) Lichen (Marchantia polymorpha L.) Mediterranean Sage (Salvia fruticosa)
Earth Element Keywords Sympathy, solidity, fertility, stability, security, comfort, centred, sensual and nurturing. Bladder Senna is about catharsis, of getting rid of things of the past that we no longer have any use for. This is particularly the case with regard to feelings of guilt and inadequacy. Dog Rose is for loving comfort, compassion and support. This helps to underpin the Earth element, giving us a feeling of security. Hairy Sedge relates to our being in the present moment. It relates to distraction, and how distractive thoughts take us away from living happily in the present. Lichen enables us to feel at ease in our surroundings and with ourselves. Mediterranean Sage mirrors the Earth qualities of warmth, comfort and wisdom. It helps to stabilise and earth our energies. Both Combinations are part of "Bailey Acupuncture Set".
