Crab Apple

…is one of the remedies that Dr Bach grouped together under the category of: Despondency or Despair.

Introduction to the tenth Bach Flower on my blog @AngelaWuerz.com

Crab Apple is known as the “cleansing remedy” for both mind and body. It is particularly helpful for individuals who feel unclean or struggle with a poor self-image. Those who resonate with Crab Apple may exhibit obsessive tendencies, such as being overly concerned with cleanliness, order, or minor details.

This remedy is also beneficial for individuals who feel ashamed or embarrassed by physical issues like skin conditions or discharges, often becoming discouraged when treatments fail (Gentian may also be helpful in such cases). For skin-related concerns, Crab Apple can be used externally as a lotion (diluted with a few drops in water), applied as a compress, or added to a bath (10 drops) for soothing relief.

The positive potential of Crab Apple is acceptance of oneself and one’s imperfections. Positive Crab Apple people have a positive self-image and are relaxed about the way they look and their environment.

Dr. Bach’s description

This is the remedy of cleansing, for those who feel as if they had something not quite clean about themselves. Often it is something of apparently little importance: in others, there may be a more serious disease which is almost disregarded compared to the one thing on which they concentrate. In both types, they are anxious to be free from the one particular thing which is greatest in their minds and which seems so essential to them that it should be cured. They become despondent if treatment fails. Being a cleanser, this remedy purifies wounds if the patient has reason to believe that some poison has entered which must be drawn out.
