The Sweet Chestnut Flower Remedy is for agonizing mental anguish, described by Dr. Bach as “the hopeless despair of those who feel they have reached the limit of their endurance.” It may take the form of intense sorrow; sufferers can feel almost destroyed by it. Dejection is accompanied by a sense of loneliness, as well as the feeling that the future is bleak and utterly hopeless.

People in need of Sweet Chestnut may feel on the point of nervous breakdown, though not suicidal. There may be the feeling that God has forsaken them.

This state may follow a bereavement, or years of difficulty, suffered bravely and uncomplainingly.

The positive potential of the Sweet Chestnut Flower Remedy is liberation from despair and despondence. Though external circumstances may not have changed, one can now face them with optimism and peace of mind. This may be aided by the discovery or recovery of faith in a higher power and a sense of inner support.

The main symptoms of one needing this Remedy are:

• feel lost, dejected, without any hope,
• feel that the limits of endurance are upon them,
• no energy left to fight, on the verge of a mental and physical breakdown,
• feel exhausted and worn out, do not think it possible to carry on,
• deep depression and despondency,
• do not see a solution to their problems, may feel suicidal.

A possible physical symptom is a physical breakdown.

Star of Bethlehem Flower Remedy is for the after-effects of shock, mental or physical, as a result of accidents, bad news, bereavement, sudden disappointments, fright, etc. The Latin name for this remedy is Ornithogalum umbellatum.

Although ideally taken immediately after the event, it is also excellent for delayed effects. Since these effects may manifest years after the event in the form of physical symptoms, people may be numbed and withdrawn with a sense of loss or grief.

This remedy is an important ingredient of the Rescue Remedy. (You may read about Rescue Remedy on this blog.) It is useful for both mother and child immediately after a birth.

The positive potential of this remedy is to neutralise the effects of the shock. This can be either immediate or delayed, thus helping the sufferer to recuperate.

Dr. Bach’s description of this remedy is “the comforter and soother of pains and sorrows.”

Keywords for Star of Bethlehem Flower Remedy: 

Trauma, after effect of shock, post traumatic stress

Human indication: 

For after effects of trauma or traumatic experience.

Scleranthus Flower Remedy, Scleranthus annuus in Latin, is for people who suffer indecision: people in need of Scleranthus find it difficult to make decisions, particularly when faced with a choice of two possibilities. These people lack balance and poise; their grasshopper minds make them jump about in conversation. They are up and down in mood, experiencing extremes of joy/sadness, energy/apathy, optimism/pessimism, laughing/crying. This changeable outlook can make them unreliable and they can waste time and lose opportunities due to indecision.

The positive potential of this remedy is certainty and decisiveness, with poise and balance in all circumstances. Positive Scleranthus people are able to make quick decisions and act promptly when necessary.

Main symptoms:

• cannot make up their minds, as well as cannot choose between two options, hesitant
• mood swings, emotional ups-and-downs
• constant changes of opinion
• unable to concentrate, jump from one subject to another
• unreliable, unstable personalities.

Possible physical symptoms:

• constant changing symptoms or pain, which may come and go; symptoms of an imbalance, such as vertigo, travel sickness; fluctuating temperatures, as well as changing appetite, bulimia, diarrhea alternating with constipation.

Animal/pet indication for Scleranthus Flower Remedy

Animals who can’t make up their mind; any swinging behavior pattern (eats/doesn’t, sleeps a lot/no sleep).

The keywords for the Gorse Flower Remedy are hopelessness and despair.

Gorse is for extreme hopelessness, as well as despair, for people who have given up the fight. They feel that there is no light at the end of the tunnel and have lost all hope. These people may believe that their illness is hereditary and, therefore, incurable. They feel condemned to pain and suffering and do not try to get better. Those who need this remedy may try different treatments to please their nearest and dearest but have no faith that they will work.

Dr. Bach wrote of Gorse people: “They look as if they needed sunshine in their lives to drive the clouds away”.

Gorse represents a strong kind of downheartedness, because Gorse people willfully refuse to be encouraged, so certain are they that their case is hopeless. If ill, they may think themselves incurable, and that nothing can be done.

Nevertheless, Dr Bach classified Gorse as a remedy for uncertainty, and not as a remedy for despair. This demonstrates that the main problem with Gorse people is a loss of faith: if we can be persuaded to see things in a different light there is usually a way forward.

The positive potential of the Gorse Flower Remedy is a sense of faith and hope,, despite current physical or mental problems. The patient feels brighter and happier and able to use illness as a positive experience. In milder cases, he or she feels on the road to recovery.

The Bach Clematis Flower Remedy, or Clematis vitalba in Latin, is for people who live in a world of their own with no interest in the real world. They find it hard to live in the present. The keywords for this remedy include dreaminess, as well as lack of interest in the present.

They are not really happy and yearn for better times; however, they take no active steps to bring these about. They have a poor memory, as well as little head for detail. They tend to lack energy; and appear absent minded.

They like to be alone and will avoid confrontations by withdrawing. When ill they make no effort to get well. They may be strongly romantic. Clematis is appropriate for people who have lost a loved one and long to join them. Through lack of concentration, they may tend to be accident-prone.

Clematis children h,ave difficulty in concentrating, due to a tendency to daydream rather than lack of innate ability.

The positive potential of the Clematis Flower Remedy is a lively interest in the world around, and enjoyment of life. Positive Clematis people are open to inspiration and fulfil their creative potential, for instance in art, writing, design, fashion, or healing. Realistic and down to earth, they have a sense of purpose, as well as recognize that the future is shaped by the present. They are well grounded and able to control their thoughts.

The main symptoms of one in need of Clematis are:

• they avoid problems by withdrawing into a world of their own,
• they cannot concentrate, easily confused, sleepy, indifferent; often bump into things,
• if ill, make little effort to recover; may even welcome the prospect of death,
• escape from reality by dreaming, playing computer games, watching TV, as well as taking alcohol or drugs.

They may have possible physical symptoms such as a lack of vitality or energy, tired, pale, fainting, and loss of consciousness, cold hands and feet, sterility, hearing problems or problems with vision.

Dr. Bach created an emergency combination which he called Rescue Remedy. It contains five of his famous flower remedies: Impatiens, Star of Bethlehem, Cherry Plum, Rock Rose and Clematis. It is worth carrying a small bottle with you in case of emergencies.

Rescue Remedy is the remedy to use in an emergency. If you have received sudden bad news, a family upset or bereavement; if you are fearful, confused, or even in terror, Rescue Remedy will help you face the situation in a better frame of mind.

It can also be taken before a stressful event; for example, while waiting for important news; prior to sitting an exam, or taking a driving test; before a difficult meeting or interview; possibly before going on stage or giving a speech; before going to the dentist or into the hospital. Rescue Remedy will help to reduce your fear and nervousness.

It is an excellent remedy whenever you feel uptight or unduly bothered, and can usually restore balance.

If you find yourself taking it on a regular basis, you may want to look at the indications for the individual remedies. You may find that there is something that suits your individual state better.

After an accident, an immediate dose of this remedy can contribute greatly to counteracting its effects and helping the natural healing process to take its course. If there has been an accident at home, out of doors or on the road, those involved may be experiencing confusion. While waiting for medical help, use Rescue Remedy to relieve the fear of both victim and onlookers. It may also provide comfort and reassurance.

What are Flower Remedies

“Health is our heritage, our right. It is the complete and full union between soul, mind and body; and this is not a difficult far-away ideal to attain, but one so easy and natural that many of us have overlooked it.” These are the words of the late Dr. Edward Bach, founder of the Bach Flower Remedies.

Dr. Bach discovered 38 of these flower remedies, each for a specific emotional and mental state, plus a combination of five of the remedies designed for difficult and demanding situations, which he called Rescue Remedy.

37 of the 38 remedies are based on single wild flowers and tree blossoms. The exception, Rock Water, comes from the water of a natural spring with healing properties.

How Do They Work

These flower remedies, like other forms of natural medicine, take effect by treating the individual, not the disease or the symptoms of the disease. They work specifically on the emotional condition of the person concerned. Thus two people with the same complaint, e.g. arthritis, may benefit from quite different remedies. One may be resigned to the illness, while the other may be impatient with it, so different remedies will be appropriate in each case.

The effect of taking the remedies is not to suppress negative attitudes but to transform them into positive ones, stimulating one’s potential for self-healing and freeing the physical system to engage fully in fighting disease and stress.

People do not have to be physically ill to benefit from the remedies. Many of us go through times of difficulty and fatigue when negativity creeps in; at these times the remedies are invaluable in restoring the balance before physical symptoms appear.

What you have just read is part of the Introduction to a book entitled The 38 Flower Remedies. You can find this book for sale here on this website. It talks about Dr. Bach and his discoveries, as well as his philosophy. The book also explains how to choose and use the remedies. Each of the 38 remedies are then listed alphabetically and discussed, including the emotional states for which they are recommended, and the potential of the personality once harmony has been restored.

A pendulum has been in use as a divination and dowsing tool for as long as 8,000 years.  A pendulum combines a simple appearance with a mystical function.  By responding to your body’s own energetic field in conjunction with your higher self and intuition, it provokes jerk reflexes in your arm and wrist that allow the pendulum to move in a certain direction to answer your questions.

The muscles in your arm move by subconscious activity in your brain. So by asking your question, your energy field is responding to what your inner self already knows subconsciously. However, consciously you are unaware because you are so conditioned to closing off intuition and instead of listening to your rational mind.  The idea that the pendulum swings as an extension of spirit has its fair share of skeptics.

Pendulums are simple to operate and anyone can use them. They are beautiful and mystical, and they draw people in who are curious about how they work. You don’t need any special qualifications to use a pendulum. People from all walks of life can pick up the practice. A pendulum is small, as well as compact and affordable. You can be use it anywhere.

There are so many different types of pendulums out there, and it can be a little overwhelming to choose one. There are different shapes, crystals, metals, string options, lengths, added embellishments, and more – and all with different meanings and added energy properties. At the end of the day, you need to choose one that you resonate with. Try not to choose a pendulum just because you think it is pretty. You must resonate with it, or it will do you no good.
