The keynote of this flower is its brilliant orange colour which is the colour to stimulate digestion. It is a powerful tonic for digestive disorders.

Orange is also the colour which harmonizes the Sacral chakra. This second chakra governs power and creativity, not only in the act of physical pro-creation but also the direction and expression of that energy into other creative channels. In this regard Orange Honeysuckle is effective for women going through menopause who have directed a lot of energy into birthing and raising their families. When their children leave home they often feel lost and have no outlet for the expression of this energy. It is also useful for teenagers where the volatility and turmoil of puberty can be channelled towards life supporting creative expression. It is not about life changes per se, but about changes where energy has been directed in one way and that particular form of expression is no longer available. Often this results in a crisis of personal identity and accompanying tension in the physical body. Orange Honeysuckle helps us to tap into that place of inner body wisdom and to redirect the energy accordingly.

At the emotional level, it releases blocks to the creative force and thereby diffuses the frustration, or even anger, which arises when creative expression is thwarted.

It can transform sexual energy to be directed in other creative channels and can help to release us from the bondage of desires.
