Eyebright aids in seeing both the light and dark aspects of a situation. Eyebright brings with it radiant goddess energy. Named for Euphrosyne, one of the three Graces or Charities of Greek Mythology, Eyebright is said to bring joy and has angelic associations to archangel Micheal. Eyebright is classified as cosmopolitan, meaning it has a global distribution rather than being confined to specific regions.
