Bach Flower Details

To understand fully which combination of Bach Flower remedies will be of most benefit, you should book an appointment with a fully qualified Bach Flower practitioner.

In the meantime, below is a list of the Bach Flower essences and a brief description of who could benefit from them:

Agrimony (Agrimony eupatoria) for those who hide worries behind a brave face.

 

Aspen (Populus tremula) for vague apprehension or fear for no known reason.

Cherry Plum (Prunus cerasifera) is the remedy that helps deal with the frantic fear associated with loss of control

Chestnut Bud (Aesculus hippocastanum) is the Bach Flower Remedy for people who fail to learn the lessons of life. They may repeat the same mistakes over and over - for example, taking a succession of identical jobs and being surprised to find each one unfulfilling.

Chicory (Cichorium intybus) is for people that are full of love and care for their families and friends but they can  feel slighted and unnecessarily hurt if they don't get the same sort of love back in return.

Clematis (Clematis Vitalba) is the Bach Flower Remedy for daydreamers; people whose minds drift away from the present into fantasies of the future, or into alternative versions of the present.

Crab Apple (Malus Pumila) is known as the cleansing remedy, it helps people who are feeling unclean, self-disgusted, or get small things out of proportion.

Honeysuckle (Lonicera Caprifolium) is the Bach Flower Remedy for people who live in the past instead of the present.

Impatiens (Impatiens Glandulifera) is, as its name suggests, the Bach FLower Remedy against impatience and against frustration and irritability caused by impatience.

Larch (Larix Decidua) is the Bach Flower Remedy for people who feel that they are not as good as others and that they are bound to fail.

Mimulus (Mimulus Guttatus) is for known fears. When you know what it is that frightens you, then Mimulus is the remedy to take.

Mustard (Sinapis Arvensis) is the Bach Flower Remedy for deep gloom and depression that descends for no apparent reason out of a clear blue sky.

Oak (Quercus Robur) is the Bach Flower Remedy for strong, persevering, steady people who never give up but are no longer able to struggle against adversity.

Olive (Olea Europaea) the Bach Flower Remedy for tiredness and exhaustion after an effort of some kind, such as hard physical or mental labour, or the long struggle against illness.

Pine (Pinnus Sylvestris) is for those who blame themselves. Even when successful they think that they could have done better and they are never content with their efforts or the results.

Red Chestnut (Aesculus carnea) is for people who feel fear for the well-being of others: the husband afraid when his wife goes out alone or the mother worrying about her child at school

Sweet chestnut (Castanea Sativa) the Bach Flower Remedy for those moments when the anguish is so great as to seem to be unbearable

Vervain (verbena officinalis) for people who are over-enthusiastic perfectionists with a keen sense of justice and extreme mental energy These people can be insistent, wilful and too fervent for their own good.

Walnut (Juglans Regia) helps to protect against outside influences in general, and against the effects of change in particular

Water Violet (Hottonia Palustris) is for those talented, capable people whose independence and self-reliance can make them seem to be proud and disdainful of others

White Chestnut (Aesculus Hippocastanum) is for unwanted thoughts, worries and mental arguments, which intrude into the mind and stop people from concentrating on things that they should be doing.
