EXTREME MENTAL ANGUISH
Sweet Chestnut Bach Flower Remedy is for agonising mental anguish, described by Dr Bach as 'the hopeless despair of those who feel they have reached the limit of their endurance.' It may take the form of intense sorrow; sufferers can feel almost destroyed by it. Dejection is accompanied by a sense of loneliness and the feeling that the future is bleak and utterly hopeless.
People in need of Sweet Chestnut Bach Flower Remedy may feel on the point of nervous breakdown, though not suicidal. There may be the feeling that God has forsaken them.
This state may follow a bereavement, or years of difficulty, suffered bravely and uncomplainingly.
The positive potential of Sweet Chestnut is liberation from despair and despondency. Though external circumstances may not have changed, they can now be faced with optimism and peace of mind. This may be aided by the discovery or recovery of faith in a higher power and a sense of inner support.
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.
