Autumn Crocus

Description

Autumn Crocus Discussion:

Autumn crocus is a very special herb, especially to us! This was one of the very first herbs recommended by Dr. Stephen Buhner that attempted to find! It is suggested in his core protocol as a key element for Ehrlichia and other Lyme coinfections. It is also one of the few herbs that he listed no known source for, until now. Ironically, we moved and found that it grows wildly all over our yard!

It is an herb that is used mainly by advanced herbalists and in homeopathic medicine. It is to be respected. It has been said to be used for chronic issues from head to the toes. Due to its cost and rarity, we only offer it as a tincture. It is taken by drops, according to your tolerance. As with any herb, we suggest starting low and work up slowly. 

A study performed on the effects of autumn crocus was said to positively normalize the regulation of thyroidal hormones. (2) In anthroposophical medicine, a variation of integrative medicine, Autumn Crocus was used for the treatment of various thyroid disorders including goiter (enlargement or lumps in the thyroid gland). (2) 

The crom, or root-like structure, is used medicinally. A key medicinal compound has been named after it, called colchicine, which is used by the pharmaceutical industry to make some medications to treat gout and familial Mediterranean fever. Homeopathic practitioners mainly use it to support gastrointestinal issues and rheumatism. (1) They say that the homeopathic remedy that autumn crocus is most like is Arsenic album. (1)

Autumn crocus is sometimes called “Meadow Saffron”, which has alkaloids that may be useful in reducing uric acid, swelling, and pain. (1) The uric acid assistance that it may offer may make it an ideal herb to use for gout support. There are sources out there that claim this may be one of the best options for support with numb fingertips, infections, tingling in the head, spasms, convulsions, and intestinal aggravation. (1)

A book could be written on the list of possible benefits. It has been used by others to support others with angina and pains in the heart area, urticaria, pruritus genitals, paralytic pain in arms, edema, numbness, swelling of the limbs, inflammation associated with the big toe, coldness of the legs and hands, nephritis, diabetes, heaviness and weight on the chest and breathing is difficult, severe pain, thread-like pulse, weakness, prostration, dark brown or milky urine, pruritus of male genitals, swelling of the vulva, deep pain within the eyes, most issues within the ears and its canals, most issues within the nasal cavity, most issues and pains of the facial area, cracked lips, esophageal swelling, discolored mucus within the esophagus, distended stomach, a full feeling within the colon, ailments of the liver region, pain of the anus region, sphincter cramping, bloody and putrid smelling urine, urinary organ pressure, diabetes, pericarditis with pain, oppression of the heart, thread-like pulse, heartbeat seeming to be weaker, jerking of the limbs, tingling of the limbs, swelling and coldness of the limbs, lumbar spinal pain, aching near the shoulders and neck, frequent waking in the middle of the night, dropsy, dysentery, headaches, uterine issues, Typhoid fever, and many worm complaints. (1)

Websites say that one of the possible side effects is dreaming of mice, whatever that may mean. Aggravation and a sensitivity to being touched and by motion. However, it may be suggested as a remedy for a nauseous sensitivity to the smell of food. The stool may contain large amounts of mucus while taking autumn crocus, as we discuss all throughout this website! If you experience any type of reaction that persists, it may be best to stop and pick it back up once they subside. The study we mentioned above showed that participants who experienced a reaction went to half the dosage they were taking and decreased or stopped all together. (2)

We use the seed of autumn crocus in our liquid products. The compounds in question as far as any toxicity is found mainly in the crom, or root of the plant. The seeds may contain less than half of these particular alkaloids.

We now make flower essences! We have the essence of wildcrafted Crocus vernus and Crocus chrysanthus species, which can be found by Clicking Here! The flower essence is used by others with intentions to dissolve the emotion of rigidity, including anxiety, depression, and aggression.

Product Variations:

We offer every herb in multiple variations. For example, you can get it as a standard tincture, oxygenated tincture, glycerite, herbal tea, encapsulated, or as a loose powder. We highly recommend getting at least two variations of the preferred blend, to achieve saturation.

Standard Tincture – Herbal compounds extracted in an alcohol base. Alcohol offers a superior absorption rate. We recommend allowing your dose to sit under the tongue for 3+ minutes, then swallowing it down with a drink of water. Otherwise, you may add it to 4 oz. of water, juice, or a smoothie. Microscopic compounds are readily available to be absorbed through tissues, into the bloodstream, and then circulated to organs.

Herbosomal/Lipospheric Tincture – This is the standard tincture, put through an energetic process. We collide the herbal compounds with oxygen and essential oil molecules, entrapping them within an oxygenated bubble. The process can be seen because the tincture lightens in color. The lipospheres’ may have the capability to surpass the bioavailability of a standard tincture, although it exhibits all of the same benefits.

All variations are animal & child-safe, at the appropriate dosage. View our child’s dosage guide by Clicking Here. 

Always use herbs wisely and with common sense, as they are to be respected. We hope that you have learned something new by reading these variations! Attaining herbal knowledge may help you, a child, family members, or a friend sometime in the future! Lastly, most of our herbs and products have been tested by an energetic practitioner, using a bio resonance scanning system. The results showed that our products tested up to 360% more powerful than other brand names! Our customers choose us over them because we create products that are unique, from an honest place of the heart, emanating a healing energy, intended to help you!
