6. What the Fascia, Part 3! Working with Wormwood for Stored Trauma


Listen Later

Okay, so we have fascial tissue locking up as a result of trauma or injury, how the heck do we release it? Welcome to part 3 of What the Fascia! In this episode, Trevor discusses the use of wormwood (Artemisia absinthium) in spiritual herbal practice to release the trauma that is making us lock up our fascial tissue and carry pain. This is a key step in healing from chronic pain as stretching and other body work can have short lived effects if we don't address the pattern of locking fascia back up over and over after our body work. This approach is highly relevant for folks with issues stemming from pelvic floor disfunction, fibromyalgia, migraines, and other pain that present high tension in muscles and other tissue.

Trevor discusses how wormwood's indications towards being an anti-parasitic and bitter herb give us an understanding of how they work on the spirit plane. He introduces two different approaches to preparing and using wormwood for this kind of release. Mentioning a few warnings and considerations in working with wormwood in this way, Trevor presents a broad image of the power of wormwood in this approach to healing.
