Dr. Edward Bach developed his flower remedies in England in the 1930s and included 38 different flowers in his healing system. The Bach flower remedies work on an emotional level, with each flower linked to a separate feeling or mental state. The best remedy differs from person to person and changes with each new situation. Some remedies, however, address situations that we will all experience at one time or another.
Crisis Formula
A combination of five flower remedies, Dr. Bach's crisis formula helps you stay calm and collected during emergencies. The remedy also relieves feelings of stress and anxiety. Keep the crisis formula on hand to deal with a wide range of emotions associated with shock and trauma.
Impatiens
We all lose our patience at some point. If you find yourself constantly exasperated or irritated, try impatiens. This remedy calms your agitation and leads to a feeling of restfulness. Impatiens is one of the remedies in the crisis formula.
Aspen
Use aspen for fear when you can't name the source of the emotion. You may experience a general feeling of anxiety or feel sheer terror without knowing why. Aspen alleviates your anxiety and gives you a sense of security. Use aspen for children who have nightmares.
Mimulus
A counterpart to aspen, mimulus addresses fear of known things. Most fears fall under this remedy; fear of flying, death, public speaking, dogs or anything that is specific. Whenever you can name what you fear, take mimulus to bring out your inner strength and courage.
Walnut
Everyone goes through periods of change and upheaval. Walnut protects you from change and eases your transition. It also allows you to break away from the past and start anew. Walnut is appropriate for childbirth, marriage, job loss, loss of a loved one or any major life change.
Star of Bethlehem
A component of the crisis formula, Star of Bethlehem addresses shock and its after-effects. The remedy also works for past shocks, including the shock of being born. Star of Bethlehem also provides comfort when you are experiencing grief and helps ease your distress when you receive unexpected bad news.
