Essences for people with ADD and ADHD with Bach Flower Remedies Part 1

Using Bach Flower Remedies for focus, concentration and learning.

Chestnut Bud

If you suffer from or know someone suffering from the symptoms related to ADD/ADHD there are many options available to help you live a better life. It is important to review diet especially the intake of caffeine, refined sugars, gluten and processed foods. These substances should be greatly reduced as they affect the ability to concentrate and focus. Since this blog is about flower remedies I have made a list of Bach Remedies that support focus and concentration. I have also included 3 remedies from FES. This is a partial list and a good starting point to build on.

Chestnut Bud: This is a powerful remedy is useful for learning especially when the person makes the same mistakes repeatedly but fails to learn from them. Chestnut bud is good for all types of learning disabilities. This premier Bach remedy for learning is also good for concentration and attention.

Clematis: This essence is for the dreamer; the person whose head always seems to be in the clouds. Clematis can help one be present, focused and attentive to the task at hand. This remedy is good for people who drift off, whether from lack of interest or mental laziness.

Gentian: This essence helps to bring confidence to a person after a setback; gentian enhances perseverance, confidence and faith. Oh how school has become a competitive environment and the drive for perfection a near pathology. Thank goodness for the support of gentian. The fact of life is there are setbacks but they don't need to stop you in your tracks. 

Gorse: This is a powerful remedy for treating pessimism and a complete sense of hopelessness. People suffering in this state see no point in trying because they lack faith in a positive resolution to their challenge. This remedy builds optimism by supporting a sunnier outlook on life.

Hornbeam: This essence is useful for the ‘Monday Morning’ feeling that kids may experience as they dread going to school. It is helpful for staving off procrastination, it helps one to organize better and gather inspiration.

Larch: This essence helps with confidence; good for students who are shy, timid or don’t feel confident enough to embrace their school work. Larch is very useful when beginning to study a new topic or learning a new language or instrument; it helps one to make an effort and ’stay the course’.

White Chestnut: This essence is helpful for calming an overactive mind that is characterized by mental chatter. Those needing this remedy are stuck in their heads along with repetitive thoughts that just race incessantly.

Wild Rose: This essence helps the student to overcome apathy and take a renewed enthusiastic approach to school work. This essence can be extremely helpful for those in the learning environment. Wild rose has tremendous potential to really activate the will and encourage tenacity. The benefits of these qualities can go a long way to enhancing performance and renewing interest.
