The Happiness Tree

Product Information

I was lucky enough to grab this on the side of the road with a bunch of other free items, and I swear it was meant for me to find. It is loved for its spring blossoms and rich-purple plums which ripen every autumn and can be eaten straight from the tree! All the girl needs to do is to weave a crown from its branches and she will be able to smile as well.

The trees are characterized by words such as hope, love, courage, gratitude, peace, compassion, tolerance, generosity, honesty, and happiness.While the flowers tend to have more uplifting and mood enhancing properties, the bark is more sedative and “anchors” the heart and the spirit when there is grief, sorrow, insomnia and anxiety. Finding ways to boost wellbeing and feel good at home are imperative towards maintaining healthy bodies and minds.

The trees grow best with moist, well-draining, light soil, but they tolerate both clay and sand, as well as alkaline and acidic soils; they do not grow well in salty soils, which makes them a marginal plant for coastal areas. John’s Wort that has a lot of contraindications with western pharmaceuticals, Albizia seems to not cause complications. Her forthcoming debut novel, Anyas War, is loosely based on her fathers childhood as one of the Shanghai Jews. Mimosa has been valued highly for centuries in traditional Chinese medicine as a botanical that can improve mood, wellbeing, decrease anxiety and bring a sense of peaceful calm, especially to those with a troubled heart and those who have experienced a great deal of stress and trauma.It seems reasonable to conclude that before one resorts to the use of drugs, that nature’s own gift from the ‘tree of collective happiness’ should be given a try instead. The stronger alcohol percentage is needed to extract the gums and resins, but can taste a little sharp after it is made. It is easily grown, grows quickly and is not rare like some plants that are highly prized for their effects on emotional wellbeing (the ginsengs, etc). I definitely recommend adding in modifying herbs to bring out the plant’s medicine and to modulate its taste.
