– Impatience

Impatiens

…is one of the remedies that Dr. Bach grouped under the category of loneliness.

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

Impatiens is the perfect remedy for those who find themselves easily irritated or frustrated. They are often impatient and want everything done immediately, thinking, acting, and speaking quickly. These individuals are highly capable and efficient but may become exasperated with slower co-workers, often preferring to work alone. They dislike wasting time and sometimes finish other people’s sentences in their haste.

Those in need of Impatiens may experience brief temper flare-ups, although these pass quickly. When unwell, they tend to be restless and irritable, making them fidgety patients. Their impatience can sometimes lead to accident-proneness.

The positive potential of Impatiens is a person who remains decisive and spontaneous while showing greater patience and thoughtfulness in their actions. They are relaxed, good-humoured, and understanding toward those who are slower. With this balance, they approach challenges calmly and diplomatically, fostering harmony in both personal and professional settings.

Dr. Bach’s description:

“Those who are quick in thought and action and who wish all things to be done without hesitation or delay. When ill, they are anxious for a hasty recovery. They find it very difficult to be patient with people who are slow, as they consider it wrong and a waste of time, and they will endeavour to make such people quicker in all ways. They often prefer to work and think alone, so that they can do everything at their own speed.”

… tiredness at the thought of doing something.

Hornbeam

…is one of the remedies that Dr. Bach grouped together under the category of uncertainty.

Introduction to the Seventeenth Bach Flower on My Blog @AngelaWuerz.com

Hornbeam is the remedy for mental weariness rather than physical exhaustion. It is ideal for those who wake up doubting their ability to face the day ahead. While they often manage to complete their tasks, they struggle with feelings of doubt and difficulty tackling the day’s problems or program.

People in need of Hornbeam may feel overworked or stuck in a monotonous routine, leading to a sense of staleness in life. This is common during periods of intense study, like preparing for exams (see also Olive). They might procrastinate, lack enthusiasm, and find sleep unrefreshing. For those recovering from illness, Hornbeam helps ease doubts about their strength to heal.

The Positive Potential of Hornbeam

Hornbeam restores confidence in one’s strength and ability to face daily challenges. It brings back a lively mind, vitality, and spontaneity. Life feels fresh and enjoyable again, with a renewed balance between work and play. The day’s tasks can be approached with energy, clarity, and enthusiasm.

Dr. Bach’s Description

“For those who feel that they have not sufficient strength, mentally or physically, to carry the burden of life placed upon them; the affairs of every day seem too much for them to accomplish, though they generally succeed in fulfilling their task. For those who believe that some part, of mind or body, needs to be strengthened before they can easily fulfil their work.”

– living in the past

Honeysuckle

…is one of the remedies that Dr Bach grouped together under the category of not sufficient interest in current circumstances.

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

Honeysuckle is for over-attachment to past memories. People in need of Honeysuckle tend to live in the past, in a state of homesickness or nostalgia. They have regrets but are unable to change present circumstances since they are constantly looking back at the past. They may be attached to lost loved ones, or to happier days, or unable to get over unhappy past experiences. They find it difficult to get over bereavement and constantly refer to the past in conversation.

Honeysuckle can be very helpful to bereaved or redundant people, or to those who have failed in business and especially to older people who live alone.

The positive potential of Honeysuckle is the ability to live in the present, no longer experiencing the past as overpowering, but seeing it as valuable experience, providing lessons for today. The person can now move forward in life with no regrets. Ageing is accepted as a natural process.

Dr Bach’s description

Those who live much in the past, perhaps a time of great happiness, or memories of a lost friend, or ambitions which have not come true. They do not expect further happiness such as they have had.

… hatred, envy and jealousy.

Holly

Holly is one of the remedies that Dr. Bach categorized under oversensitivity to influences and ideas.

Introduction to the Fifteenth Bach Flower

Welcome to my blog at AngelaWuerz.com, where I share insights into Bach Flower Remedies and how they can support emotional well-being. Today, I’m introducing the fifteenth Bach Flower, Holly—a remedy for those who struggle with emotions like jealousy, envy, and anger.

Who Is Holly For?

Holly is for individuals who can be bad-tempered, hard-hearted, or even cruel at times. Beneath these behaviors, they are often suffering deeply, though they may not realize it. They struggle to open their hearts to love and instead experience feelings of:

• Hatred, envy, and jealousy.
• Suspicion and aggression.
• Generalized anger or resentment towards others.

Holly is also an excellent remedy for children dealing with sibling jealousy, helping them overcome feelings of rivalry and resentment.

The Positive Potential of Holly

In its positive state, Holly helps individuals become generous-hearted, compassionate, and loving. Those who benefit from this remedy find joy in giving without expecting anything in return. They develop inner harmony and a genuine ability to celebrate others’ successes. As Dr. Bach beautifully described:
“Holly protects us from everything that is not Universal Love. Holly opens the heart and unites us with Divine Love.”

Dr. Bach’s description

For those who sometimes are attacked by thoughts of such kind as jealousy, envy, revenge, suspicion. For the different forms of vexation. Within themselves, they may suffer much, often when there is no real cause for their unhappiness.

…self-centered chatter and self concern.

Heather: The Bach Flower Remedy for Loneliness

Heather is one of the remedies Dr. Bach categorized under loneliness. This fourteenth Bach Flower Remedy, featured on my blog at AngelaWuerz.com, addresses a unique emotional state that affects many.

Who Is Heather For?

Heather is ideal for individuals who are overly preoccupied with their own concerns or ailments, often struggling to engage in genuine two-way communication. These individuals tend to:

• Exaggerate their symptoms or make minor issues seem overwhelming.
• Exhibit extreme neediness, driving others away.
• Talk compulsively, often dominating conversations without showing interest in others.
• Seek out company constantly, as they dislike being alone.

Heather types may unintentionally drain the energy of those around them, as their focus remains fixed on their own challenges. Their rapid speech, close physical proximity, and need for attention can make others avoid them, further intensifying their loneliness.

The Positive Potential of Heather

When balanced, Heather’s positive potential shines through. Those who resonate with this remedy can transform into empathetic, selfless listeners who generously help others. They gain the ability to channel their own experiences of suffering into deep understanding and support for others, creating meaningful and compassionate connections.

Dr. Bach’s Original Description:

“Those who are always seeking the companionship of anyone who may be available, as they find it necessary to discuss their own affairs with others, no matter whom it may be. They are very unhappy if they have to be alone for any length of time.”

…losing hope before trying every possible solution

…is one of the remedies that Dr Bach grouped under: Uncertainty.

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

Gorse is for those experiencing deep hopelessness and despair, people who have given up completely. They feel trapped in darkness, unable to see any light at the end of the tunnel. Convinced that their situation is incurable—perhaps due to hereditary factors—they resign themselves to a life of pain and suffering, making no effort to improve. While they might try treatments to appease loved ones, they lack any real belief in their effectiveness.

Dr. Bach described Gorse individuals as seeming like they “need sunshine in their lives to chase the clouds away.”

The positive potential of Gorse is the restoration of faith and hope, even amidst ongoing physical or emotional struggles. A newfound sense of brightness and optimism emerges, allowing the individual to see challenges as opportunities for growth. In less severe cases, they feel genuinely on the path to recovery, uplifted by a sense of renewal and positivity.

Dr Bach’s description

Very great hopelessness, they have given up belief that more can be done for them. Under persuasion or to please others they may try different treatments, at the same time assuring those around that there is so little hope of relief.

… discouragement after setback.

Gentian

…is one of the remedies that Dr Bach grouped under: Uncertainty.

Introduction to the last and twelfth Bach Flower on my blog @AngelaWuerz.com

Gentian is for those who struggle with doubt and discouragement. These individuals tend to feel disheartened or downcast when faced with setbacks or challenges. Unlike the unexplained sadness associated with Mustard, their low mood stems from a clear and identifiable cause. Even when making good progress in life or recovery, they can be easily discouraged by minor obstacles.

This remedy can be particularly helpful for people coping with long-term or recurring illnesses, as well as for children who feel disheartened about their schoolwork.

The positive potential of Gentian is a shift in perspective: recognizing that genuine effort is never a failure, regardless of the outcome. With this understanding, challenges feel more manageable, and the determination to overcome obstacles grows. Tasks that once seemed overwhelming become achievable, and a sense of confidence in ultimate success takes root.

Dr. Bach’s description

Those who are easily discouraged. They may be progressing well in illness, or in the affairs of their daily life, but any small delay or hindrance to progress causes doubt and soon disheartens them.

… overwhelmed by responsibility.

Elm

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

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

Elm is for those who feel overwhelmed by their workload. Typically confident, capable, and responsible, they may experience a sudden loss of self-assurance and become despondent. Elm types are often leaders or caretakers, such as doctors, teachers, therapists, or executives, who are deeply committed to the well-being of others.

This remedy is particularly indicated when these reliable individuals feel unable to manage their responsibilities or keep up with demands, often due to overloading themselves without adequate self-care. This can lead to feelings of exhaustion, depression, and a fleeting loss of self-worth. Even a brief doubt in their abilities can leave them feeling drained and ineffective.

The positive potential of Elm is a return to their natural sense of confidence, efficiency, and perspective. They regain the ability to prioritize tasks, recognize their limits, and ensure they take time to care for their own needs while maintaining their capable, balanced approach to life.

Dr Bach’s description

Those who are doing good work, are following the calling of their life and who hope to do something of importance, and this often for the benefit of humanity. At times there may be periods of depression when they feel that the task they have undertaken is too difficult, and not within the power of a human being.

… feeling dirty or unattractive.

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.

…dreaming of the future without acting in the present.

Clematis

…is one of the remedies that Dr Bach grouped together in: “Not sufficient interest in current circumstances”.

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

Clematis is for individuals who often retreat into their own world, showing little interest in the realities of daily life. They struggle to stay present, finding it difficult to focus on the here and now.

These individuals are usually dissatisfied, longing for a better future but not taking active steps to create change. They may have a poor memory and difficulty paying attention to details, often seeming absent-minded or low in energy.

Preferring solitude, they avoid conflict by withdrawing. When unwell, they may lack the motivation to take steps toward recovery. Clematis personalities can also exhibit a strong romantic streak and, in cases of grief, may yearn to reunite with a loved one who has passed. Their lack of focus can sometimes make them accident-prone.

Clematis is particularly helpful for children who struggle with concentration—not due to lack of ability, but because their minds often wander into daydreams.

The positive potential of Clematis 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 and recognise that the future is shaped by the present. They are well grounded and able to control their thoughts.

Dr. Bach’s description

Those who are dreamy, drowsy, not fully awake, no great interest in life. Quiet people, not really happy in their present circumstances, living more in the future than in the present; living in hopes of happier times, when their ideals may come true. In illness, some make little or no effort to get well, and in certain cases may even look forward to death, in the hope of better times; or maybe, meeting again some beloved one whom they have lost.
