…is for people who fail to learn the lessons of life.

Chestnut Bud

…is one of the remedies that Dr Bach grouped together under the heading Fear.

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

Chestnut Bud is for failure to learn by experience, leading to an inability to make progress in life. The person keeps repeating the same mistakes, such as falling over again and again for the wrong partner, or continuing to work in an unsuitable job. Instead of learning from past mistakes, Chestnut Bud people try to forget them and therefore have no basis on which to make future decisions. They may suffer recurrent ailments but never question why they keep returning and thus fail to deal with the root cause.

Positive potential: Dr Bach wrote: ‘This remedy is to help us to take full advantage of daily experiences and to see ourselves and our mistakes as others do.’ The positive Chestnut Bud personality observes his or her own mistakes with objectivity, and learns from every experience, gaining knowledge and wisdom so as to move forward in life. Mentally active, he or she also observes and learns from others.

Dr Bach’s description

For those who do not take full advantage of observation and experience, and who take a longer time than others to learn the lessons of daily life. Whereas one experience would be enough for some, such people find it necessary to have more, sometimes several, before the lesson is learnt. Therefore, to their regret, they find themselves having to make the same error on different occasions when once would have been enough, or observation of others could have spared them even that one fault.

– fear of loosing control

Cherry Plum

…is one of the remedies that Dr Bach grouped together under the heading Fear.

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

The Cherry Plum fear is very specific: it is the fear that one is going to lose control of oneself and do something dreadful, such as injuring others or harming oneself. Fears of going mad and of acting irrationally are Cherry Plum states.

Cherry Plum is also the remedy for a loss of control that has already taken place, because of the frantic fear and dread associated with such situations. Just like a small child feels throwing an irrational tantrum: this too is a Cherry Plum state.

The positive potential of Cherry Plum is the person who has a calm mind and is able to think and act rationally.

Dr Bach’s description

Fear of the mind being over-strained, of reason giving way, of doing fearful and dreaded things, not wished and known wrong, yet there comes the thought and impulse to do them.

– lack of trust in one’s own decision

Cerato

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

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

…is the remedy for people who don’t trust in their own decision making skills. It’s easy for them to make a decision however they start doubt their choice.

After they made a choice they are no longer sure if what they have decided is right.

Seeking the opinions and advice of others they end up confused or doing something that they know does not feel right.

Cerato helps us have more faith in our judgement so that we can listen to our inner voice and trust our intuition.

The positive potential of Cerato is shown in those who trust their own inner wisdom and follow it. Quietly self-assured and decisive, they are able to find and follow their true vocation.

Dr Bach’s description of Cerato

Those who have not sufficient confidence in themselves to make their own decisions. They constantly seek advice from others and are often misguided.

– the inability to say ‘no’.

Centaury

…is one of the remedies that Dr Bach grouped together under the category of oversensitivity to Influences and Ideas.

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

Centaury people are gentle and kind people who want to help. However others might easily take advantage of them. Centaury supports the development of courage and self determination.

Therefore we’re able to make better decisions for ourselves without the influence of others.

The positive potential of Centaury is shown in people who serve willingly and un- obtrusively, but without denying their own needs. They can express and defend their own opinions and mix well in company. Above all, they are in touch with what they want and can now follow their own path with determination and energy, unhampered by the opinions of others.

Dr Bach’s description of Centaury

Kind, quiet, gentle people who are over-anxious to serve others. They overtax their strength in their endeavours. Their wish so grows upon them that they become more servants than willing helpers. Their good nature leads them to do more than their own share of work, and in so doing they may neglect their own particular mission in life.

– lack of tolerance

Beech

…is one of the remedies that Dr Bach grouped together under the category of overcare for welfare of others.

Introduction to the 3rd Bach Flower on my blog @AngelaWuerz.com

…was described by Dr Bach as the remedy for people who ‘feel the need to see more good and beauty in all that surrounds them.’

People in a Beech state are critical and intolerant of others and cannot accept them how they are. They lack compassion and understanding of the circumstances and paths that other people are given, and are not able to see that everybody is in a different place on their journey through life.

Sometimes Beech intolerance show up in outbursts of irritability.

The remedy is taken to encourage tolerance of others so that Beech people can live and let live, so that they are able to see the positive in people surrounding them. As soon as that happens their irritability starts to disappear.

The positive potential of Beech is tolerance and a sense of compassion for and unity with others; the positive Beech person can see the good in others despite their imperfections.

Dr Bach’s description of Beech

For those who feel the need to see more good and beauty in all that surrounds them. And, although much appears to be wrong, to have the ability to see the good growing within. So as to be able to be more tolerant, lenient and understanding of the different way each individual and all things are working to their own final perfection.

…afraid but not sure of what

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

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

…Aspen is often referred to as “the trembling tree” as its leaves seem to shiver and whisper with the wind. Needless to say Aspen ist one of the fear remedies. Not just any fear – it helps with unknown fears. When you feel apprehension, an anxious anticipation, some kind of foreboding or dread. However when you ask what he or she is afraid of, there is no specific fear present and the person cannot explain why they are fearful.

The positive potential of Aspen is a state of inner peace, security and fearlessness. Apprehension is replaced by a desire for adventure and new experiences, disregar- ding difficulties and dangers.

Dr Bach’s description of Aspen

Vague unknown fears, for which there can be given no explanation, no reason. Yet the patient may be terrified of something terrible going to happen, he knows not what. These vague unexplainable fears may haunt by night or day. Sufferers often are afraid to tell their trouble to others.

… mental torture behind a cheerful face

…is one of the remedies that Dr Bach grouped under the category oversensitivity to influences and ideas.

Introduction to the 1st Bach Flower on my blog @AngelaWuerz.com

…is the remedy for people who pretend to be cheerful and happy. Do you remember the sad clown who cheers everybody up while he himself is close to tears – that is the Agrimony personality. He/she does not share anything and even friends are the last to know that anything is wrong.

Sometimes Agrimony people use alcohol or drugs to help them stay ‘happy’. They do not like to be alone as it’s easier to pretend when there are people around you. However when they are alone their thoughts are coming back and they won’t stop.

Agrimony helps us overcome difficulties and we can live in more harmony. It helps us realize that laughing rather than dwell on our problems helps us overcome them. Agrimony helps anyone who tries to hide problems to work on solving them.

The positive potential of Agrimony is for those who are genuinely cheerful and good company, communicate their real feelings openly and can accept that life has its less pleasant side. Their cheerfulness stems from a real sense of self-acceptance and inner joy; they see problems in perspective and are diplomatic peace makers.

Dr Bach’s description of Agrimony

The jovial, cheerful, humorous people who love peace and are distressed by argument or quarrel, to avoid which they will agree to give up much. Though generally they have troubles and are tormented and restless and worried in mind or in body, they hide their cares behind their humour and jesting and are considered very good friends to know. They often take alcohol or drugs in excess, to stimulate themselves and help themselves bear their trials with cheerfulness.
