Agrimony
(Agrimonia eupatoria)
For those who wear a social and happy mask but
'swallow' their true thoughts and feelings to
keep the surface 'peace' by overeating, drinking
and smoking, Agrimony opens the throat chakra
and promotes honest verbal expression without
fear of conflict.
Aspen (Populus tremula)
For those afraid of the unknown who tremble with
insecurity and anxiety when faced with new experiences,
Aspen helps to calm and clear the mind and restores
faith in ourselves to find the reasons for our
fears.
Beech (Fagus sylvatica)
For those who are critical, judgemental, intolerant
of others and perfectionists by nature, Beech
helps to accept others and their differences without
judgement or fault-finding, and helps them use
their critical faculty in a positive way.

Centaury (Centaurium
erythraea)
For those who are weak-willed, willing slaves
easily dominated by others, and unable to say
"No" often because of a desire to please
or belong, Centaury helps us act on our own needs,
teaching self-responsibility and assertion through
appropriate action. It teaches us to take care
of ourselves first, for how can the tap give water
if the tank is empty?
Cerato (Ceratostigma
willmottiana)
For those who are indecisive because they doubt
themselves, who seek the advice of others to avoid
making mistakes or appearing foolish, Cerato centers
scattered energies and diminishes self-doubt,
helping one use their intuition and wisdom to
make decisions and stand by them.
Cherry Plum (Prunus cerasifera)
For those experiencing acute loss of emotional
control, who may be on the verge of breakdown
and fear doing something desperate or destructive
such as suicide, Cherry Plum brings emotional
balance and a sense of protection, helping to
maintain stability of the personality.
Chestnut Bud (Aesculus
hippocastanum)
For slow learners and those who repeat the same
mistakes without seeing the cause and effect,
or learning from their experiences, Chestnut Bud
stretches the mind to bring an understanding of
the whole picture, helping one overcome the stumbling
blocks on their road to growth.
Chicory
(Cichorium intybus)
For those who are possessive and love 'selfishly'
in their relationships, who play the role of victim
and persecutor, using emotional blackmail for
love and attention, Chicory fosters sincere caring
and unconditional love, teaching that to love
someone else unconditionally, we must first love
ourselves unconditionally.
Clematis (Clematis
vitalba)
This remedy is for day-dreamers and vague, drifty
people who prefer to live in the dream world to
escape reality. They are often very creative but
unable to bring their dreams into reality. Clematis
helps reconnect the spirit with the mind and body,
enabling inspiration to be created on the practical
level, and teaches spiritual discipline.

Crab Apple
(Malus sylvestris)
For those who feel dirty or unclean, obsessive or disgusted
with some aspect of themselves, Crab Apple is an emotional
cleanser that brings hidden things to light to help
clean the slate for a fresh start. This is a helpful
remedy for those who have been sexually violated as
it cleans any sense of 'dirtiness'.
Elm
(Ulmus procera)
For strong, capable people who feel despondent and inadequate
when exhausted and overwhelmed by their responsibilities
and workload, Elm restores confidence, encourages delegation
of responsibilities, and teaches us to first take responsibility
for ourselves.
Gentian
(Gentiana amarella)
For those who experience depression of the heart, often
falling in love with the unattainable and addicted to
love and lovers, Gentian brings positive, uplifting
energy to the heart which creates genuine optimism and
faith in one's self and others, teaching it's better
to have loved and lost than never to have loved at all.
Gorse (Ulex europaeus)
For those who are totally negative, despairing and in
a state of hopeless depression, unable to see any light
on the horizon, Gorse teaches there are always choices
that we don't always see, and switches on the light
so we can.
Heather (Calluna vulgaris)
For needy people who constantly seek attention by talking
about themselves in great detail, often using illness
as a lifeline to make contact with others as they fear
isolation and loneliness, Heather brings inspiration
to create and live an independent life, enjoying one's
own company.
Holly (Ilex aquifolium)
For intense, passionate people who experience hatred,
jealousy, envy and suspicion, often displaying self-destructive
behaviour, Holly helps us face ourselves honestly so
we can understand and accept who we are, and opens the
heart to feel love within ourselves and towards others.
Honeysuckle (Lonicera
caprifolium)
For nostalgic people who live in the past and reminisce
of days gone by, Honeysuckle helps one to let go of
the past and live in the now, teaching that we can't
step in the same river twice as the river will always
change.
Hornbeam (Carpinus betulus)
For those who feel exhausted, weak, weary and too tired
to care, Hornbeam is a convalescent remedy that restores
energy and deep inner strength and helps one use their
energy wisely.
Impatiens
(Impatiens glandulifera)
For fast, hyperactive and impatient people who rush
through life, becoming irritable and frustrated under
stress, Impatiens brings a gentle calming energy that
restores patience and tolerance, teaching that everything
worthwhile takes time, and that the journey is more
important than the destination.
Larch
(Larix decidua)
For those with an inferiority complex, who lack confidence
and expect to fail, believing they are not as good as
others, Larch brings a sense of uniqueness, restoring
confidence and determination from within, and teaches
that in doing one's personal best there's no such thing
as failure.
Mimulus (Mimulus guttatus)
For those with specific, known fears and phobias, who
'freeze' on the spot, and are threatened by changes
to their boundaries, Mimulus neutralises the feeling
of being afraid and brings courage and understanding,
teaching that life's process is a spiral of expansion.
Mustard (Sinapis arvensis)
For those who experience melancholy and gloom or
prone to manic depression, schizophrenia, often
due to hormonal changes or chemical imbalances,
Mustard helps to lift the weight and darkness of
the black cloud. It restores emotional stability
with an inner serenity that nothing can shake or
destroy. |

Oak
(Quercus robur)
For those who work hard, constantly striving and physically
pushing themselves beyond their limits, Oak reminds
us there's no growth in coping or denying our limits,
and encourages reaching out to others and learning to
receive, so we may experience deep inner strength through
sharing our 'weaknesses'.
Olive (Olea europaea)
For those in a state of complete exhaustion, who have
been suffering and in pain for a long time, Olive is
the remedy of rejuvenation as it brings a sense of being
filled with energy and inspiration from a deep place
inside. Olive is a lubricating remedy and is beneficial
for joints that need 'oiling'. It restores calmness,
peace and harmony, and energy to put back into one's
life again.
Pine (Pinus sylvestris)
For those who lack self-worth and don't feel 'good enough',
who often feel guilty, blaming themselves and apologising
for no reason, Pine helps us accept our faults without
clinging to them. Pine restores self-worth and self-accetance
with genuine humility and modesty.
Red Chestnut
(Aesculus carnea)
For those who are over-concerned and over-anxious for
others, who always 'feel' for people and carry their
burdens, Red Chestnut strengthens the aura and brings
discernment, enabling one to care about others without
carrying their problems. An excellent remedy for those
sensitive to other people's emotions.
*Rescue Remedy (Rockrose,
Impatiens, Cherry Plum, Clematis, Star of Bethlehem)
Dr Edward Bach's five-flower formula known as Rescue
Remedy is for use in any emergency situation where
there is fear, panic, anxiety, shock, emotional upset
or distress of any kind, bringing a sense of calm reassurance
and comfort to help us better cope with life's upheavals,
whatever they may be.
Rock Rose (Helianthemum nummularium)

sometimes with severe physical reactions, Rock Rose
has a very direct calming effect on the mind, helping
one maintain serenity through any challenging situation.
It is beneficial in times of anaphylactic shock and
allergic reaction.
Rock Water (solarised spring
water)
For those who are inflexible, living their lives by
hard and fast rules, who repress and deny themselves
to live up to their ideals of perfectionism through
self-control, Rock Water gently wears away the stone
so they may live in the world in a more flexible way,
teaching self-mastery comes from self-understanding,
not self-control.
Scleranthus (Scleranthus
annuus)
For those experiencing imbalance, indecision and hesitancy,
who find it difficult to decide between two things,
going from one extreme to another and feeling split
in two, Scleranthus gently restores balance, and reconnects
the heart and the mind to help us feel our way through
our decisions, teaching it's the mind not the heart
that's indecisive.
Star of Bethlehem (Ornithogalum
umbellatum)
For those who have experienced shock and its after effects,
either recently or in the past, Star of Bethlehem brings
calmness, neutralises the effects of shock and gives
clarity of the issues being held in the body which enables
us to release these energies, restoring faith in ourselves
and our ability to deal with life as it happens.
Sweet
Chestnut (Castanea sativa)
For those experiencing deep despair, who have reached
the absolute limit of their endurance and can bear it
no more, feeling numb, empty and isolated, Sweet Chestnut
lures the soul back into the body, brings a sense of
being filled with inspiration, and restores alertness
to the senses creating a renewed interest in one's life
and in others.
Vervain
(Verbena officinalis)
For over-enthusiastic reformers, converters and workaholics
who physically and mentally wear themselves out in their
efforts to change the world, Vervain soothes the stress
and strain of constantly striving, encourages taking
time for relaxation, and helps one to live their life
according to their own truths without forcing their
beliefs onto others.
Vine (Vitis
vinifera)
For strong-willed, ambitious, dominating authoritarians,
who move towards having power and control of a situation
by fair or foul means, Vine fosters compassion and a
desire to share, guide and inspire others, enabling
them to help others help themselves by teaching them
look within for their own answers.
Walnut (Juglans regia)
For those who experience hypersensitivity to their environment,
Walnut strengthens the aura, giving a feeling of protection
and safety, and is a useful remedy in times of transition
as it helps to break links with people, places and habits
that have a negative effect and drain one's energy.
Water Violet (Hottonia
palustris)
For those who are proud, condascending and aloof, who
are uncomfortable in crowds and tend to retreat as they
are basically self-reliant, shy and prefer their own
company, Water Violet gently lures the spirit out, helping
those who are shy to blossom, feel comfortable in social
situations, and appreciate the company of others.
White Chestnut (Aesculus hippocastanum)
For those experiencing constant mental chatter, worry,
and persistent unwanted thoughts, White Chestnut quietens
the mind, restores mental clarity, and allows feelings
and intuition to filter through to our consciousness,
teaching there's always solutions that a calm, clear
mind will find.
Wild Oat (Bromus ramosus)

they do and become despondent, confused and uncertain

thing that will bring deep, inner satisfaction, Wild
Oat releases frustrated energy, helps one sort out their
life by making decisions based on what brings true happiness,
with the courage to follow their heart.

(Rosa canina)

and interest in their lives, Wild Rose gives the energy
and will-power needed to fight back, and brings renewed
interest and joy in one's life.
Willow (Salix vitellina)
For those who harbour resentment and bitterness towards
others, suppressing and storing their cold, hard anger
and bearing grudges for a long time, Willow fosters
forgiveness and brings flexibility and acceptance of
self and others, teaching we can't change others or
the world we live in, but we can change our attitude
and our perspective.
