POOR SELF-IMAGE
Crab Apple lower remedy is the 'cleansing remedy' for mind and body, recommended for those who feel unclean and suffer from a poor self image. Crab apple people may be obsessively house-proud, or have a mental obsession with cleanliness and trivialities.
Crab Apple is indicated for people who are ashamed of and embarrassed by unpleasant physical symptoms such as skin problems or discharges; they are disheartened if treatment fails. See also Gentian. People with skin problems can use it externally, as a lotion (a few drops in water), in a compress, or added to the bath (10 drops).
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.
Directions
Once the Bach Flower Remedy or combination of remedies have been chosen, take two drops in a cup of water and sip at intervals, or two drops of each chosen remedy in 30ml bottle of mineral water and from this take four drops four times a day until relief is obtained. It's quite safe to take these as often as needed. Hold the dose in the mouth for a few moments before swallowing.
Drops can be added to a baby's bottle or child's fruit juice.
Caution
The Remedies have no adverse effects. However, like other forms of natural medicine, they may allow suppressed symptoms to surface. These could include such things as rashes while the body is being cleared of toxins, or an awareness of emotions which have been denied expression. These are an important part of the healing process and are only temporary.
Note:
The Bach Flower Remedies can be taken alongside medication, including homoeopathic remedies, without any interference at all.
Ingredients
240 parts Brandy to one part infusion of flowers in water. Alcohol 40% by volume.
How long Will they Keep?
Remedies in their concentrated form can be kept for up to five years.
