So now I have some Bach Flower Remedied to tell you all about.
You may have heard or even tried Rescue Remedy? Well these are created by that same well known brand. They are made for emotional wellness and taking them is meant to help you deal with your emotions better.
"Bach Original Flower Remedies follow Dr Bach’s system of 38 Bach Flower Essences, which was developed in the 1920s and 30s, for emotional wellbeing and care for everyday life, which he believed play a vital role in your general wellbeing. He identified 38 negative emotions and a corresponding flower or plant essence for each one. Each essence has a positive potential that balances your emotions allowing you to reach your true potential."
Whats included?
They have made a special gift set that has 3 different flower essences included. These are Larch, White Chestnut and Mimulus and they all come in small 10ml bottles.
Each essence come from its own group and helps with a different feeling and comes with with a different positive potential.

Larch is from the Find Joy and Hope group, it is perfect for people who lack confidence in their abilities, and it will give a positive outcome of confidence.
White Chestnut is from the Live the Day group, its for people who struggle to switch off and have repetitive thoughts and its meant to give a positive outcome of tranquility.
Mimulus is from the Face your Fears group and is for people who are shy or are feeling worried about something specific. It will give a positive outcome of courage.
How to take them?
Each bottle comes with a little pipette so then you can use drops of the flower remedy. It is super easy to use and you simply squeeze the top and the pipette fills with liquid.
There are 3 ways that you can use your flower remedy, one is by adding 2 drops of your chosen essence into a drink. You can choose which ever drink you like.
You could use all drops making it 6 drops in total and with this its recommended you make up your own sample. Get a mixing bottle, add all 6 drops and swish together. Then take 4 drops of this, 4 times a day.
Or you can use it for immediate use and simply take the essences directly from the bottle. Just drip 2 drops onto your tongue and then repeat when you feel necessary.

What do I think?
Firstly, my chosen method is to take it directly. I prefer to just get it on my tongue and in my system instead of faffing about with drinks. But this may not be many's favourite way as you have to be ok with the very strong taste. I would say it has a very alcoholic taste, simular to vodca. Which a couple of droplets worth I can cope with.
One thing I did find with this way of taking it, was that it helped me with my 'funny tastes' I can get in my mouth when I am anxious. It kills that and gives me a new taste to focus on.
I am not 100% sure if the droplets do exactly as they say on the bottle, but in a way they also do. For example, taking Mimulus, I feel like I have more courage because this has taken the edge away making me calmer and so then more likely to fill an ability to do something courageous.
They are definetly something I would keep using and I would recommend trying, I love that they are herbal as I am not a big fan of chemical medicine. Anything that can help me with my wellbeing that isn't going to do my body any harm sits very well with me. Plus they have been being used for more than 80 years and I always think that the older more natural ways were the best.
