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.
The Cherry Plum person fears loss of control and reason. They fear insanity and their mind being taken over by sudden violent impulses. This remedy assists in restoring the feeling of self-control and a desire to be responsible for their actions.
The Impatiens person is quick in thought and action and wishes all things to be done without hesitation or delay. They tend to be restless, fretful and jumpy and are impatient of people who work at a slower rate – often preferring to work and think alone, so they can choose their own speed. Impatiens helps to regain momentum and poise so that life is experienced at a comfortable pace, giving time to enjoy the pleasures of life.
The Mimulus person experiences fears that they know and that exist in everyday life, such as illness, pain, accidents, heights, poverty, the dark, death etc. Their fearful nature extends to contact with people and they are usually shy, nervous or retiring. This remedy will assist in gaining the courage to confront their fears and, by so doing, diminish them.
The Red Chestnut person’s worries and anxieties are for others. Their thoughts are solely occupied with the health and well being of other members of their family, friends or acquaintances – often to the extent they have ceased to worry about themselves. Red Chestnut helps with the realization that one can only be responsible for one’s self and this clarity helps to overcome their fears and to trust in the process of life.
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.
Centaury persons are kind, quiet and gentle people who are over-anxious to serve others. Being generally weak-willed and subservient, their good nature leads them to do more than their fair share of work. Also self-determination and self-fulfilment are sacrificed in order to gain appreciation and devotion from others. This remedy will help these gentle people to be strong enough to respectfully accept and consider themselves and their own needs.

The Clematis person is quiet, dreamy and drowsy, appearing to be not fully awake and have no great interest in life. They live more in the future than in the present and are absent-minded and inattentive, appearing to be in a world of their own. This remedy helps to be more concentrated and grounded in the present.
Aspen is recommended for the type of vague, indefinable, anticipatory fear that takes the form of apprehension and anxiety. It will assist persons who are prone to nightmares, sleep walking/talking and terrified that something terrible and unknown is going to happen. This remedy will help the sufferer to gain optimism and trust.
