Gymea Lily: properties, benefits and uses (Australian Flower Essence and Remedy)


Gymea Lily is an Australian flower remedy made from Doryanthes excelsa. It helps you discover the passion of your life and follow it. Let’s find out better.


Description of the plant

One aspect of the Doctrine of the Signatures of the flower is that it is so tall that it is neither clearly distinguishable from the ground nor reachable for those at its feet: it is therefore suitable for very outgoing or dominant, charismatic, born leader personalities. Gymea Lily attenuates dominance, fostering more awareness of others.

Of the Agavaceae family it is one of the most beautiful and showy flowering plants: the large and dense ‘head’ of fleshy trumpet-shaped flowers, red in color, often have a diameter of over 40 cm, while the single flowers collected in the head are long 6 cm and protected by dark red bracts.

The erect and rigid stem reaches a height between 3 and 7 meters and develops from a dense and large rosette of intense green leaves, up to 1.5 m long. Gymea is the aboriginal name of the plant, the name of the genus Doryanthes derives from the Greek doratos, spear, and anthos, flower, and the name  excelsa  from the Latin excelsus, tall, elevated.

Preparation and use

In a 30 ml bottle, combine ¾ of natural water and ¼ of brandy to preserve the product; add 7 drops for each chosen flower. 7 drops of this personal blend are taken under the tongue, morning and evening, upon awakening and before bed. The drops can also be applied locally as well, combined with neutral cream as a carrier, in the bath water or vaporized in the environment to create a harmonious place. They can also be prepared without brandy, making sure that they do not degrade (if necessary, the preparation is repeated). They can be diluted in a little water or herbal tea, even for children.

Gymea Lily is an adjunct in the treatment of problems and realignment of the spine, bone and ligament problems, while Crowea is indicated for muscles and ligaments. The two essences can be associated with each other and of course with all those necessary for chance.
