Most of us have experience of unsettled bowels caused by feeling anxious about certain situations or even when going on holiday and consuming all sorts of different foods. Flower remedies based on Edward Bach, formulated by Jan de Vries. Bach flower remedies take their name from Dr Edward Bach, a medical doctor, who first created them in the 1930s. They are extracts of flowers based in brandy and have the purpose of influencing the emotional well-being of the individual.
Honeysuckle is the remedy for when we are living more in the past than the present. Dwelling on memories of past events, whether happy or sad, reminiscing generally and wishing things could be as they were or wish they had been different. Honeysuckle helps us to remember and reflect on cherished memories and past happiness while feeling the benefit of them in the present moment. This remedy assists us to ground and feel all our experiences in this ‘now’ moment.
The Agrimony person is worried and restless in both mind and body. A feeling of inner suffering and torment is hidden behind a mask of cheerfulness and humour and they always maintain a smile. This remedy helps them to relax and share problems, to put these into perspective, and assists in creating a sense of peace.
This remedy is for indecision and uncertainty and is invaluable for people who cannot choose between one thing and another. Often any decisions made will later be reversed and, as they are unable to discuss their difficulties with others, they struggle alone. Scleranthus helps these people to see the larger picture required to make informed decisions.
This is a very capable person who is certain of their own ability and confident of success. They have a tendency to use their gifts to gain power, dominate others and be aggressively proud. This greed for power and authority can make them tyrannical and dictatorial. The Vine remedy does not affect self-assurance or leadership, but will help these people to become less harsh or severe and more understanding of other people, especially those whom they consider to be weaker.
Rock Water people are very strict with themselves and their lives, often denying the joys and pleasures of life because they consider it might interfere with their work. They are hard on themselves and expect perfection in all they do. This remedy helps them to be less focused and more flexible and to consider all of their needs.
Mustard is for those of us who suffer from periods of deep depression, sadness and gloom, which appear for no apparent reason and will disappear as suddenly as they come on. This remedy helps to dispel these dark clouds and thus allows balance and clarity.
Willow is for when we see ourselves as victims and feel that life has treated us badly. We wrap ourselves in anger, resentment, self-pity and bitterness, blaming others for our misfortune. Between our irritable and sulky moods, we seem to actively enjoy this gloom and despair. The Willow remedy helps to lift us from this hollow of self-mortification and to adopt a more forgiving and positive approach to life.
Sweet Chestnut is the remedy for those who are in deepest despair with this hopelessness leading to an inner void. They have reached the limits of their emotional endurance and no longer wish to go on as they feel their situation is beyond help. The Sweet Chestnut remedy helps to raise the curtain of despair, enabling them to see the larger picture and restores faith in their self.
