Tags: bach flower remedies for fear, bach flower remedy fear children, bach flower remedy loud noises, bach flower remedy sensitivity
Thank you to Sarah who wrote to me with a question about which remedy would work best for your 3-year-old’s fear of certain noises. Sarah explained that her son who was otherwise confident, happy and outgoing was going through a stage where he was experiencing fear (sometimes intense) when he heard certain noises, such as motorbikes, trains, fire sirens, wind in trees, and thunder. She knew that this phase would pass but wondered whether there was a Bach Flower Remedy that could help in the meantime or even help it to pass more quickly.
This type of fear is very common, not just in children but also in adults, and Bach Flowers can be very helpful in not only easing but often even eliminating the fear.
Mimulus is the first remedy to add as it deals with fear and hypersensitivity to known things, in this case, noises.
Mimulus allows a sensitive person to relax a little more and see the things that they fear in a more rational way.
Aspen can also be added to the remedy as although the person can identify what seems to be causing the fear, they don’t really know why they feel afraid. The feeling is that something bad is going to happen, but what that is they don’t know. Aspen is the best remedy for this type of fear.
Rescue Remedy is the final remedy.
Rescue Remedy is grounding. By this I mean, it helps to “snap you out of it” bringing you back into your body, into the here and now instead of being trapped in your mind in some scary imagined future. Rescue Remedy is made up of 5 Flower Remedies which individually and collectively help to ease feelings of panic, shock and stress experienced in the moment, as well as helping to manage any ongoing feelings of stress and unnecessary caution that can occur after someone has experienced something unpleasant.
How often should the remedy be taken? Ideally, make this remedy up into a treatment bottle and take or give 4 drops, 4 times daily. Take the first dose first thing in the morning and the last dose just before bedtime at night. Additionally, take another 4 drops any time that there is a situation that could potentially cause the fear, and when the fear comes up.

17.02.21 / Well-being / Author: dewdrop / Comments Off on Bach Flower Remedies ~ Vervain
The Vervain person is what others would describe as tightly wound or highly strung.
Full of great ideas, they are always on a mission and want to convince others to join their cause. Because of this determination to push their ideas onto others, they are extremely draining to be around.
Similar in many ways to Impatiens, Vervain types are easily irritated when there are delays or things are not progressing as they would like.
They think, talk, move and act quickly and often impulsively.
They have huge amounts of energy which they use to push their cause, other people, and themselves.
Continues despite any obstacles, such as ill-health
Courageous, determined, and strong they are willing to take risks and make sacrifices that most would not. This includes risking relationships and their health.
Because they do not know when or how to stop, they can suffer from insomnia and are unable to rest or relax leading to muscle tension, all sorts of unexplained pains, fatigue, and exhaustion.
Of course, this is Vervain in its extreme when in reality many people exhibit Vervain-like tendencies only occasionally or to a lesser degree.
Vervain needs to convince only itself
There is much about Vervain that is of value, like its dedication, huge energy, and enthusiasm, and taking Vervain will not take those valuable traits away.
But those who take Vervain will find that their energy becomes more balanced, taking on a calm, sure, knowing aspect that does not need to push to get things done, to convince others of their rightness, or to defend their own ideas.
They will also find themselves softening and becoming more allowing of others’ ideas knowing that that does not invalidate their own. They will also be able to change their course if necessary. With this newfound flexibility, calmness, and certainty they will surely be infinitely more powerful than they were from their once rigid standpoint.
16.02.21 / Bach Flower Remedies, Well-being / Author: dewdrop / Comments Off on Bach Flower Remedies ~ Olive
Olive is the Bach Flower Remedy for physical and mental exhaustion as a result of a long or particularly intense period of mental and/or physical strain, or illness.
The feeling is of complete and utter exhaustion requiring total rest and much sleep. Even the smallest activities are a great effort.
Milder cases of tiredness and fatigue caused by strain or illness also respond well to the Bach Flower Olive.
Olive strengthens and revitalizes the body and mind. An awareness of the need to follow the guidance from our higher selves develops which allows periods of stress and strain to be handled with great ease.
Some common situations where the Bach Flower Remedy Olive can help restore your energy:
Moving House – The physical and mental stress of moving house can often result in a state of short-term exhaustion. This lack of energy will naturally resolve once the move is over and you can rest, but taking Olive will speed up the process.
Empaths or those Sensitive to Energy – empaths, and sensitives will find that Olive not only improves their physical strength but also strengthens their mind and energetic system, making them less vulnerable to disharmonious energies. If you are already feeling drained by a situation or person, Olive will help you to return quickly to your natural vibration.
Caring for a dependant – this could be a newborn baby, a super active toddler, an elderly parent or someone who is sick, physically or mentally. Anything that takes a large toll on your energy will be easier to handle with the help of Olive.
As well as taking Olive, use this quiet time to reflect and see if you could better balance your energies in the future. While some situations are unavoidable one-offs, if you have a pattern of overdoing followed by periods of exhaustion, then you will want to look for ways to balance your activities. The Bach Flower Scleranthus can be helpful here.
Also, consider what feelings are driving your periods of intense activity. Common culprits are a feeling of impatience, which is helped by the Bach Flower Impatiens, or over-enthusiasm which is helped by Vervain.
Many of us have been trained to ignore our natural impulse to stop and take a rest when we need it. We push on past feelings of tiredness, boredom, hunger, thirst, even a need to use the bathroom. But these are all early subtle signs letting us know that we are losing our balance. A quick stop taken when you receive the impulse can give you the ability to continue for longer periods of time without risking tiredness, fatigue, or exhaustion.
If your natural impulses are so shut down that you can no longer feel them, then start by scheduling your rest and bathroom breaks. These short regular breaks are usually all it takes to keep your energy flowing consistently. And of course, you will find that your work also flows with greater ease and that you produce better results for less effort.
Every time that you take Olive your ability to sense the subtle signs of imbalance improves slightly and before long you will no longer need schedules or self-discipline and instead you will just naturally move, rest or shift your focus as you need to.
Make sure that you are also supporting your recovery with plenty of sleep as well as rest and fresh air.
Sunlight is also helpful so even if it’s just sitting next to a window, try to get some every day.
During this time try to eat little and often. Overeating requires a lot of energy for digestion and adds to feelings of heaviness, whereas smaller meals are more easily digested. Ideal foods will be nutrient-dense and easy to digest such as soups, smoothies, and fresh juices.
When you feel ready, introduce gentle exercises such as Yin Yoga, Restorative Yoga, Gentle Hatha Yoga or walking.
Be gentle with yourself and take your time as you return to your normal activities. With the help of Olive, you will soon be back to your old (but improved) self.
