Spirit of the Southwest.

Ocotillo, through its physical appearance as a plant that has long, spiky branches and red flowers is believed to have qualities similar to Mars, Pluto, and Scorpio. One of its main benefits is that it helps to move things in the body when they are stagnant. This includes the blood, lymph, and interstitial fluids. Ocotillo is also used for issues related to stagnation in the pelvis, liver problems, and supporting the immune system. In men, it can help with pelvic energy, lymphatic and blood stagnation, and issues like prostatitis, pain, trouble maintaining erections, and ejaculation problems. Ocotillo can also assist in removing waste from the lymphatic system, which is helpful for increasing immune activity. Additionally, it has been traditionally used for bladder infections, UTIs, menstrual cramps, and treating systemic inflammation throughout the body.

Ocotillo can be a great medicine for this specific archetype in the way that it allows one to release feelings of resentment, withholding, & fear of being witnessed. It has also been said to be indicated for the person who has closed themselves off to their feelings, by holding onto old wounds and trouble letting go. This herbal ally is recommended for those who have experienced sexual trauma, have difficulty with intimacy, fear of depth in intimacy, vulnerability, & emotional stagnation.
