💜 Pasqueflower (Pulsatilla vulgaris) has a specific affinity for the heart (physically, spiritually and emotionally) and reproductive system. It may be suitable for those who are melancholic with a negative or gloomy mentality. It is also an excellent medicine for individuals who have a nervous or restless nature.
‼️ Due to sustainability and safety issues (explained more thoroughly in the sustainability and safety section of the article), there is a strong case to consider using herbal analogues in place of pasqueflower such as Motherwort, Passionflower, Raspberry leaf and Shatavari.
