Gaillardia, also known as Blanket Flower, is that of a survivor. Part firewheel, part security blanket, Gaillardia helps us shift from a recent blow or experiences that felt traumatic to peace, comfort, and a quick regrouping to a new path or focus. Gaillardia doesn’t make light of what you’ve been through, as some essences almost have an “erasing” quality. Gaillardia seems to empower you to stand unwavering in the face of opposition or trials with strength.
This is a 1 oz bottle that should last about a month of daily dosing.
We recommend taking no more than one blend at a time. Here's why and some possible work arounds.
All of our essences are made with brandy as the preservative. You can read more on why we use brandy here.

For Animals
For the animal that needs both energetic protection and the rekindling of inner resilience after a blow, whether acute or accumulated. Gaillardia wraps the animal like a warm comforter, sealing and shielding while stoking the inner fire to keep going. On the acute side, this is the dog who just lost a companion and the household is in upheaval, the horse who had a bad fall and is now hesitant, the cat who was attacked by another animal and is shaken but not shattered. Gaillardia helps the animal find its feet again quickly after being knocked sideways. On the longer-term side, it is equally indicated for animals who have been through neglect, abuse, or significant physical trauma and have lost confidence in their own ability to cope: the dog who self-harms through excessive licking, the bird who feather-plucks, the cat who over-grooms compulsively after a traumatic period. The protective quality makes Gaillardia useful during rehabilitation when the animal is still too raw and exposed for deeper emotional work, during the stress of weaning or separation, and during acute transitions like a sudden move or jarring change in routine. It does not erase what happened. It empowers the animal to stand back up and face what comes next with strength. (If the devastation is catastrophic and total rather than a recoverable blow, see Fireweed. If the animal's core identity was shattered rather than shaken, see Echinacea.)
