Emotional Stress

We all get stressed and we all suffer from the side effects of stress. We need to remember that the emotional side effects can be just as debilitating as the physical ones.

Bach flower remedies are dilutions of flower material developed by Edward Bach, an English physician and homeopath, in the 1930s. The remedies are used primarily for emotional and spiritual conditions, including but not limited to depression, anxiety, insomnia and stress.

Here are some of the more suitable remedies for the emotional effects of stress.

Olive: The remedy for absolute physical and mental exhaustion

Elm: Take this when you are overwhelmed by responsibility

Oak: This remedy is for when you are exhausted but continue to struggle on

Wild Rose: The remedy for resignation and apathy

Agrimony: Take this for mental torment behind a brave face

Sweet Chestnut: This is for extreme mental anguish

Hornbeam: The remedy for that “Monday morning” feeling

Gorse: For hopelessness and despair

Gentian: Take this remedy when you feel discouraged, despondant or doubtful

Impatiens: For when you are easily irritated, tense and impatient

Scleranthus: The remedy for when you are unable to choose between options or when you are indecisive
