Linden Blossom



TTilia vulgaris-concrete and absolute from the dried flowers.     Also called “Lime flowers”. It is becoming difficult to find quality Linden. The principal constituent is farnesol. 

(The TRUE absolute is difficult to find...may be adulterated.  No formal testing.  
Dilute well for topical use. It does not dilute well in  Fractionated Coconut - but if warmed, will dilute and blend beautifully into Jojoba.)

+Can cook up a meal out of practically nothing in a minute.
+Will stay in a job forever, providing it pays well enough.
+Can flirt outrageously just for fun, with no ulterior motive. Infidelity would not cross their mind.  They would be hurt if anyone thought otherwise.

+Incurable romantic.  Love sending poems, love letters, flowers, chocolates, but this phase does wear off and they’ll wonder where the romance went.
-If negative, they tend to sulk rather than shout or get angry.  They may get possessive of partner or children.  They become worriers.  Can get anxiety attacks over things they cannot possibly control.
-They hoard things until their house is full of junk.  They may envy the possessions of others.  They may say such things as “Nobody cares if I live or die.”  Or “I gave up everything for you.”
