Dear friends and followers,
Today is Good Friday - the most solemn and sacred
day.
The day of the Cross and of suffering.
The day on which Christ offered Himself in sacrifice and descended into the
very depths of death in order to conquer it from within.
This is a day of silence, but not of absence.
A day of pain, but also of the greatest mystery.
For it was on this day that death lost its power.
Good Friday is not only a day of sorrow;
it is also the day of a great and hidden victory.
The world looks at the Cross and thinks it is the end.
Faith looks at the Cross and knows that this is precisely where the breaking of
the chains begins.
For us, as healers, this is a time for quiet care and inner
humility.
Today, phytotherapy is not forceful or assertive, but gentle and supportive -
bringing calm to the nerves, comfort to the heart, and quiet support to the
body, while the soul kneels before the mystery of sacrifice.
The Healer’s Spiritual Message
“Today is the day when silence speaks more loudly than
words.
The Cross is not only a symbol of suffering - it is a doorway.
Christ took the keys of death in order to show us that there is no grave from
which love cannot rise.
Good Friday teaches us that there are wounds that can be
healed only through love, patience, and faith.
Let us today crucify anger, pride, and everything within us that leads us away
from the Light.
Passing beneath the Shroud is our humble consent to leave
the old self in the tomb and rise purified.
Where the world sees an ending, God has already prepared a beginning.”
ELIXIR “REMEMBRANCE AND PEACE”
A tea for bodily rest and clarity of memory
Rosemary is the herb of remembrance. On this day of sacred memory, it keeps us inwardly awake and gathered without burdening the spirit. Alongside it stand lemon balm and linden blossom, bringing softness, comfort, and silence.
Ingredients:
1 sprig of fresh rosemary, or 1/2 tsp dried
1 tsp lemon balm
1 tsp linden blossom
Preparation:
Steep the herbs in 300 ml of hot water for 10 minutes.
Effect:
Rosemary supports memory and inner alertness, while lemon balm and linden calm
the heart and soothe the nervous system.
Use:
Drink slowly, in small sips. This is a tea for moments of rest, when the body
is still, but the spirit remains awake in prayer.
HERBAL OIL “GROUNDING”
Care for the weary body and quiet inner gathering
This oil is inspired by the anointing with myrrh, combined with rosemary for gentle physical relief and for restoring inner steadiness.
Ingredients:
50 ml base oil, such as almond or olive oil
5 drops rosemary essential oil
3 drops myrrh or frankincense essential oil
Preparation:
Mix the oils in a dark glass bottle and shake well.
Use:
Massage gently into the feet and ankles, as well as onto the pulse points of
the wrists.
Meaning:
Rosemary helps relieve heaviness in the legs and restore scattered strength.
Myrrh or frankincense brings stillness, grace, and a sense of inward calm after
weariness. This is not an oil for vanity, but a form of quiet care for the Day
of the Cross.
SILENT WATER - Washing with Humility
On this day, there is no need for extravagance, only for purity and simplicity.
Recipe:
A lukewarm infusion of chamomile with a little rose water
Use:
Wash your face and hands. This is an outward sign of inward purification.
Chamomile calms the skin, while rose water brings tenderness and grace.
Shared by the Healer (Phytotherapist)
“On Good Friday, the healer must grow quiet.
Not every day calls for action; some days call for presence.
I use rosemary to remind me of the thief’s words:
‘Lord, remember me.’
Rosemary does not allow sorrow to turn into despair.
Today is a day for strict fasting - water and prayer.
But humility is not violence against the body.
If you are weak, support yourself wisely with warm tea or a baked apple.
Christ conquered death - which means that He holds the keys
to our hope.
Leave your pain and your fear beneath the Shroud, and step toward the Light.
For Good Friday is the beginning of the great victory.”
IMPORTANT NOTES
For rosemary:
Use with caution if you have high blood pressure, especially in the evening, as
it may have a stimulating effect.
For essential oils:
If you have sensitive skin, perform a patch test on a small area first.
For fasting:
In cases of chronic illness or exhaustion, fasting should be reasonable and
adapted to the individual condition of the person.
