| Bach Flower Remedies |
| This unique healing system consists of essences made from 38 different flowers, each having a specific action upon a certain mental attitude. Just as the body has its own self-healing properties regarding diseases and wounds, the mind and spirit have their own self-healing capacities, which the Bach Flower Remedies stimulate. The remedies used are all prepared from the flowers of wild plants, bushes and trees, and none of them is harmful or habit-forming. |
| They are used for worry, apprehension, hopelessness, irritability and so on, because these states of mind or moods hinder recovery of health, retard convalescence and often are the underlying causes of sickness and disease. A long-continued worry or fear depletes one's vitality. |
| It is important to identify the nature of the individual's unique ''patterns'' before selecting the appropriate remedy. Consider the person's attitudes, feelings, worries, indecision, timidity, vexations, resentment, possessiveness, hopelessness, lethargy, hatred, overpowering or demanding nature, intolerance, tenseness, etc. and, most importantly, the reason behind the apprehension, worry and fear. Only then can the correct remedy or remedies be determined. |
| AGRIMONY. Those who suffer inner torture which they try to hide behind a facade of cheerfulness. Often used as a remedy for alcoholism. |
| ASPEN. Apprehension, the feeling that something dreadful is going to happen without knowing why. Anxiety for no known reason. |
| BEECH. Critical and intolerant of others. Arrogant. |
| CENTAURY. Weakness of will; those who let themselves be exploited or imposed upon; they have difficulty in saying "no." A human doormat. |
| CERATO. Those who doubt their own judgment and intuition, always seeking the advice of others. Often influenced and misguided. |
