and the next three ...

CHESTNUT BUD: Inattentive. Repeats the same mistakes again and again; does not learn from past experiences. Absent minded, prone to road accidents.

CHIGORY: Selfish. Always keeps self interest in view, possessive, undue expectations from others; self-pity if she does not get full attention. Always wants to get and to possess, never wants to give.

CLEMATIS: Inattentive, mind far removed from the actual physical surroundings, pre-occupied with a vacant far away look and totally indifferent to what is happening around him. Lives more in dreams even when he is awake.

the next three remedies...

  1. CENTAURY: Lack of will—a weak willing slave doing other’s job who cannot refuse to be used as door-mat by others. Persons who appear to have no choice except to obey others.
  2. CERATO: Distrust of ones own judgment. Fails to be guided by his inner voice. Asks other’s opinion about his personal problems, is confused on getting their conflicting views and usually opts for the wrong choice, then laments after discovering that his own judgment was after all correct. Meanwhile he has made a nuisance of himself by asking frivolous questions from others.
  3. CHERRY PLUM: Desperation. Fear of losing his mind’s control over his actions. Can do anything—even kill somebody or kill himself at the spur of moment, without thinking. Unbearable condition of mind. Apt to act on impulse than on reason.

List of Bach Flower REMEDIES with Key-note symptoms:

In the alphabetic order:

  1. AGRIMONY: Conceals his internal mental torture behind the façade of a care-free and cheerful face—weeps inside, laughs outside.
  2. ASPEN: Apprehensions, unfounded fears. Fear without any rhyme or reason at any time of the day or night. Mortally afraid of something he knows not what.
  3. BEECH: Intolerance criticizes and condemns without making any allowance for even the genuine difficulties of others. Unsympathetic, lacks humility.

Just before you read about the remedies ….

  • Any of the 38 flower Remedies can be used to form a combination medicine for a case, which means that NO ONE remedy antidotes another by coming in contact with it.
  • There is no necessity to segregate different flower remedies. The same dropper can be used to collect the medicine of two different remedies.
  • There is no difference in the dosage for an infant or an adult. Even pregnant women and lactating mothers can use the same.
  • The question of overdosing or any reaction there-from does not arise in case of flower remedies.
  • The effect of these flower remedies start as soon as the drug touches the tongue. It is therefore necessary to rinse the mouth clean before dropping the flower remedy. Tobacco chewing, betel-stained tongue, consumption of beverages – hot or cold, smoking … etc will hamper the action of these flower remedies.
  • These flower remedies can be given in the form of globules, in liquid form, diluted in water, or direct. Each is equally effective.
