Remedy of the Month

HONEYSUCKLE
Honeysuckle flower remedy helps bring you back to the present when you have noticed that your thoughts are often dwelling on happier times. Whilst it is ok to have fond memories to comfort and brighten our lives, some may find that they are dwelling in the past a little too often and feeling more of a regret that life has now passed by. There can be a certain wistful longing for a time they have lived and to be there once again. This out of balanced state can make living in the present more of a detached state in which you escape to those happier times. Honeysuckle will help you to transform those lingering feelings into a more engaging relationship with the present, bringing back your enthusiasm for your future plans. This gently enables a more balanced relationship with your past and your optimism for your unrevealed future returns. Your past memories are preserved with a fondness that has shaped where you are now and you are ready to go forward.

Honeysuckle is a very useful remedy for those who are struggling to face the future after losing a loved one.

If you would like a personal remedy mix for yourself, contact me. I'd be happy to help.

Remedy of the Month--in these changing times!
Mimulus -The remedy to transform fear into courage

Mimulus can be found right now growing in our streams and ponds. It was one of the first of 38 remedies that Dr Bach discovered. Mimulus is one of five remedies he placed in his fear category...
Fear is something that everyone suffers from at various times and often find it difficult to admit. Mimulus is for those identifiable fears, a very apt remedy for these times as many people have been coming to this remedy to help them with the fears that have emerged since the Covid 19 pandemic hit our lives. Living with fears of any kind can be debilitating and can rob us of our self esteem, opportunities and ability to move forward in our lives.
Taking this remedy will gently ease your fears, liberating you from their grip. So you can step back from what has been worrying you and see it for what it really is. No more looking at your life through the eyes of fear. With calmness restored you can start to see things in a different light helping you get your life back on track. You will begin to feel that you have control again. Mimulus fears are identifiable fears, we know what we are frightened of, i.e fear of the virus, fear of becoming ill, fear of losing loved ones , fear of the future, poverty, spiders, dogs, etc. Mimulus is the remedy needed when we know what we are afraid of--- whatever that may be for you. Mimulus works on specific fear as opposed to general unsettling anxieties which may indicate the remedy Aspen or the terror fear that Rock Rose can help with. Children can have nightmares that can be greatly eased by Rock Rose. This is also one of the remedies that is in Rescue remedy.
I am very happy to help you with any questions you may have about choosing the appropriate remedy mix depending on how you are feeling at present.
Mimulus remedy will help to gently transform the fears that are occupying your mind and body, lifting your spirits so that you feel less afraid and gently restore your innate courage and equilibrium. As our fears settle a whole new perspective becomes possible for us and a more courageous spirit emerges.
Dr Bach identified some people as Mimulus type personalities. They are shy, timid individuals, who easily blush & stammer and often feel nervous in company. People with a sensitive disposition who can find socializing difficult. Mimulus can help them feel far more confident and comfortable, more willing to enjoy situations they once would have avoided.
With the easing of the lockdown restrictions, some people have become fearful at the thought of getting back to life again--“the new normal”and everything that brings with it. Mimulus will help to dispel our everyday fears and anxieties. The fears that we can identify such as fear of catching Covid 19 or any other specific situation. When you are in need of Mimulus you know what you are frightened of and these fears can be very paralysing. Taking the Mimulus remedy will help to gently transform the fears that are occupying your mind and body, lifting your spirits so that you feel less afraid and gently restore your courage and inner equilibrium. Helping you settle, to see a way through....
This is the remedy that puts us back in touch with our courage when we have become fearful.
The remedies are so easy to take, in water or straight on to the tongue. Naturally made from specific plants, they are effective and perfectly safe for the whole family to use.

Remedy of the Month
Wild Rose

When you have become deadened to what life has to offer, you don't see any point in life, you may feel bored or fed up-- a feeling that you can't be bothered, then you are in the negative “Wild Rose” state. Such people can believe that adverse circumstances in their lives, perhaps a chronic illness, a hopelessly inflexible marriage or an unsatisfactory job …. are beyond change. It no longer occurs to them that life could be different.
Although they feel low in spirits it’s unlikely they would say they are depressed. It’s the apathy that indicates the need for the “Wild Rose” remedy-- When your inner spark has vanished.
What the remedy does is to help to rekindle zest & enthusiasm & reawaken that sleeping sense of vitality. It can benefit those whose lives seem to move along a pre-set path without anything unexpected ever happening. It helps to break the predictability and boredom that some of us experience from time to time.
This may be a passing state that creeps in slowly for some or others may recognise that they have been feeling this way for a while.
It’s not always easy to notice when negativity has crept in but you do know when your spark has gone. The remedies are a gentle place to begin to find yourself again whatever it is that you are feeling.
When you do find yourself again you will be amazed at the difference, the change in your outlook and the peaceful feelings that pervade.
Let’s compare other remedies that may help a lack of zest…

Star of Bethlehem – lack of zest comes about because of a shock or trauma.

Centaury- you don't have the will power to stick up for yourself.

Olive- you are too exhausted.

Mustard- a dark cloud of depression has suddenly for no reason descended.

Gentian- something has triggered your despondency.

Larch – you lack the confidence to deal with it.

Honeysuckle – an unresolved deep experience that you had a long time ago.

Clematis- you live your life in the future-- your thoughts are far away.

Many people are using the flower remedies now to support them through this. The remedies help to give us emotional purchase so we can see what our next step may be.

White Chestnut- "I can't stop unwanted thoughts going around and around in my mind".

Rock rose –‘I’m really panicky! (when your fears have turned to terror)

Aspen –‘I’m just anxious.’ (you don't know why you are afraid, but you still feel it.)

Red chestnut--- ’I’m really worried about something awful happening to….’ You are feeling overly afraid for the safety of your nearest and dearest and loved ones.

Elm--- "I am over whelmed by my responsibilities, I can't cope"

Gentian –-" I feel so despondent and depressed now this has happened."

Gorse---" I can't see that anything will get better, I have lost all hope"

Cherry plum –- "I really feel I will lose control of myself & my actions".

RESCUE REMEDY :

If you are in the midst of an emergency situation you have received some serious or startling news, you are suffering from a serious upset, a shock or tragic news that has left you physically and emotionally disturbed then Rescue remedy is the combination mix that you take until you start to feel more settled.

Dr Edward Bach’s legacy to us was the discovery of The 38 flower essences for emotional well-being. Medicines for the emotions to use at times of need when the emotions have become so out of balance that we struggle to gain our perspective, to take stock and settle so as to restore a little calm and harmony once again in our lives.
