Red Alder Essence

Helps us make a shift from serious and drab states. It is useful in the winter months to help us through the winter blues or Seasonal Affective Disorder 'S.A.D.' Red Alder helps overcome shyness, a tendency to hide our attractiveness or withdraw from contact with others. Lightness of being, humor and playfulness are qualities brought out. Red Alder supports opening to the healing power of laughter, and letting go of our serious outlook on life.
