Agrimony – Bach Flower Essence

Sherri Stockman, Wellness Coach — Sat, 06 Mar 2010 18:16:01 +0000

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.

Walnut – Bach Flower Essence

Walnut is the Bach Flower Essence used for protection from outside influences, most commonly during some sort of transition or transformation process.

This would include: puberty, menopause, moving to a new place, traveling, a change in relationship (new or break-up or other loss), change in career, education and learning, dieting or cleansing, building or remodeling your home…. The list may be endless, but you get the picture.

Walnut is also used to break the chains with the past, including breaking unwanted habits (add Chestnut Bud) and clearing inherited tendencies and disorders.

I find that Walnut Bach Flower Essence is particularly helpful to those who are on some sort of spiritual path (and if you’re reading this, I assume you are).

All of the Walnut qualities apply to spiritual seekers: transition, protection from undue influence, and changing old behavior patterns. There are periods of my life when I carry a bottle of this remedy in my purse along with Rescue®.

Chestnut Bud – Bach Flower Essence

Chestnut Bud is the Bach Flower Essence for mental maturity and experience.

It increases your general ability to learn by helping you remember and compare your experiences in life so that better decisions can be made in similar circumstances.

In Advanced Bach Flower Therapy, Goetz Blome states “Our spirit is more open, we are more ready and able to take things in, and our interest in things outside our narrow area of experience increases.”

Life is a constant learning process— hopefully we take these experiences and benefit from them somehow.

It is important to broaden intellectual openness and general awareness. Gradually, the memories of emotional traumas, large and small, enter the consciousness. You could say they surface when the time is right for them to be healed.

Chestnut Bud helps bring awareness; with awareness comes understanding; with understanding comes learning and wisdom. With wisdom, you can consciously CHOOSE to do things differently, so as to get different results.

Children having learning difficulties in school (in addition to using Chestnut Bud) may need a change in learning approach (visual, kinesthetic, etc.), subject matter, or maybe the teacher or scheduling.

Adults with problems at work or in relationships, or those who keep having the same problem over and over again, should examine their living/working conditions to determine if there is something better for them.

Sometimes there are nutritional deficiencies or other physical issues, such as exhaustion, that must be addressed as well.
