Anecdotal: The invigorating spirit of Sanguisorba is believed to preserve health through its defense of the heart and its ability to drive away melancholy. This is thought highly significant because melancholy tends to destroy personal shields of protection leading to severe losses of spiritual energy. Sanguisorba is a formidable incarnant for reconciling endopsychic wounds and restoring sanctity and cheerfulness.
