Agrimony – Bach Flower Essence

Agrimony is the Bach Flower Essence for anguish or distress behind a happy or brave face– a pretended easy-going nature covering repressed worries or fears.

This remedy is very familiar to me: As a “Southern Woman” I was always taught to “Smile; don’t let anyone know there’s something wrong,” no matter what might be going on. It actually took me a couple of years of studying the Bach Remedies before I realized how badly I needed this one.

I had become so good at the deception, I was even fooling myself.

A person in a negative Agrimony state doesn’t generally like confrontation: they will do much to keep the situation peaceful, even to the point of self-sacrifice. They downplay their own hardships, not wanting to create distress for others. The hospital patient who entertains the medical staff is probably a negative Agrimony personality!

This trait usually develops in childhood. A sensitive child wanting to please well-meaning adults will learn to push down her own feelings and give the “correct” response. Continuous repression will lead to an inner restlessness, because this truly is a lapse of integrity in a person who despises incongruencies.

Internal restlessness may express itself in self-destructive habits like nail-biting or hair-pulling, or even very serious (health threatening) behaviors of “cutting” and eating disorders (anorexia, bulemia).

Some of the positive potentials in releasing this negative state:

  • ability to deal with confrontation
  • authentic inner joy
  • true optimism
  • skillful diplomat and peacemaker
  • Agrimony helps you to stand in Your Power and acknowledge what is True.

      All the articles are by me. The top of the page is supposed to say “by Sherri Stockman” and it had accidentally reverted to admin.
      Thanks for the heads-up.
