Flower therapy provides us with a flower for every state of widespread unease. Bach Flowers, California flowers are a wholly beneficial response to everyday anxieties.

Floral remedies for your own anxieties

Agrimony and Snapdragon

Those who tend to mask their problems and anxieties with false cheerfulness will benefit from Agrimony, thus avoiding venting their dissatisfactions through smoking or the constant need to eat, supported also by Snapdragon, a California flower that dissolves tension concentrated in the jaw. Those who instead accumulate stress in the stomach, have changeable moods and suffer from insomnia, will regain calm thanks to the rebalancing properties of the California flowers' relaxant par excellence, the graceful Chamomile.

Wild Oat, Blackberry and Scleranthus

If the restlessness is linked to the dissatisfaction of not yet having found our path, the powerful energy of Wild Oat will allow us to shed light on our goal, channelling our rediscovered vitality into achieving it. When, on the other hand, the direction is clear but we are unable to bring our ideas to fruition due to a lack of willpower, Blackberry, a California flower, will help us turn our dream into reality. Scleranthus is the only remedy capable of balancing and stabilising us whenever the inability to make a decision arises and we are overwhelmed by the fear of making mistakes, or in those cases where a distressing swing between doubt and certainty manifests itself in physical symptoms such as dizziness and nausea.

Aspen and Yarrow

Many of us become anxious when gripped by fear. At times it is indefinable, anguishing and often associated with darkness, the occult and a heightened sensitivity, as is typical of the personalities that identify with Aspen, who will be able to enjoy peaceful sleep with the California flower Saint John's Wort and greater stability thanks to the protection of Yarrow.

Mimulus, Red Chestnut and other flower therapy remedies

At other times fear is tangible and concrete, associated with phobias or the dread of exposing oneself that is common to shy, emotional people who are hypersensitive to noise, light and cold; they will be heartened and reassured by the "courageous" Mimulus, possibly combined with the California flowers Pink Monkeyflower or Golden Yarrow. In other cases one may instead find oneself in the Red Chestnut type, characterising those individuals who live in perpetual anxiety over the health of their loved ones, or in the paroxysmal tension of Cherry Plum subjects, who fear losing control and being overwhelmed by destructive impulses. In all these cases, if fears are amplified out of all proportion and spill over into a paralysing anguish, the solar energy of the delicate yellow flowers of Rock Rose will bestow calm and courage upon us.
