Society Garlic gets its name from the rumor that it tastes like garlic, without giving you bad breath. Its flower essence dissolves fear of attack or mal-intentioned people; the evil eye no longer phases us! We are unaffected and uninfluenced by the external world. We’re not afraid to take a stand. It cleanses destructive patterns and transforms lust into spiritual love. We can allow ourselves to be seen in the public as solid, unwavering and protected.
If you’re drawn to the Society Garlic flower, you may have recently felt overly sensitive to external forces or energy. You may have experienced worries about loss, fears of attack or criticism, or a sense that those around you don’t have your best interest at heart.
Society Garlic flower elixir is a helpful remedy for anyone who is sensitive to external forces, such as water signs, empaths, babies or emotional sponges.

Likewise, you may be affected by bad vibes or heavy energies that you encounter on the street or the public environments you find yourself in.
Alternatively, you may be engaging in some kind of destructive patterns or behavior that makes you worry. You may have experienced shame or disgust, or felt that you’ve been consumed by negative forces.

We perceive a sense of protection and support around us. We’re stronger and more fearless. Even if someone looks at us with malintented or threatening eyes, it no longer penetrates or bothers us. We’re not afraid to take a stand & be in the world & be seen. And we can be more gentle with ourselves.
Closely related to chives, the leaves and flowers of the Society Garlic are edible. Add them to soups, salads & as a tasty garnish. Believed to get its name from Dutch settlers in South Africa, it has garlic flavor without the bad breath of eating garlic.
If you enjoy gardening, the plant is low maintenance and is heat & drought-tolerant. Its light purple flowers attract birds and deter deer from munching on your garden. It spreads slowly through tubers under the ground and also makes a good container plant.
