Bach Flower Remedies for Sleep


 
White Chestnut:
Key among the 38 Remedies is White Chestnut, this remedy aids the mind to slow down its mental chatter and incessant thought cycling to bring about a restful mind. The great thing about this remedy is that you can use it for acute situations. My suggestion is to keep a bottle near your bed and take 2 drops directly from the stock bottle before laying down to sleep.

 Sleep is like a dream come true for those who find it and a nightmare for those who it eludes. Not being able to sleep can lead to deep frustration and dissatisfaction. There are times when we have a hard sleeping due to immediate circumstances and sometimes it is chronic. There are a number of Bach Remedies that can aid you in having a good nights sleep.

Rescue Remedy: Next on list would be Rescue Remedy, the essences in this combination are helpful to curb acute anxiety and stress. It would be wise to consider Rescue Remedy when you are going through stressful or troubling times and this is the cause of your insomnia.

Vervain: In general Vervain is for the high strung type, the constant doer who is always on the go and planning what is next. Vervain flower essences will assist this type to take a more relaxed less edgy approach to life and tasks. Those needing this essence would be wise to consider using it throughout the day to assist with a more relaxed approach to life that will then translate to better sleep.

Impatiens: Similar to Vervain, Impatiens is more of a type remedy and from the name we can glean that this essence helps with impatience. Those needing this remedy may be generally impatient types or just going through a cycle where their patience is being tested. This is a great remedy that helps us to slow down and take a more eased approach to life. This remedy can also be used safely throughout the day.

Bach Remedies are safe to use either long term or only temporarily. They are non habit forming and non addictive. Bach flower essences simply help adjust the underlying reasons that lead to sleep disturbances in the first place. I suggest looking at your lifestyle to see what needs adjustment. Maybe you need to stop drinking caffeine after 3 pm or not eat so late. Whatever the reason Bach Remedies can be of great assistance to help us find the path of balance.

Please note Bach Flower Remedies promote balance. Using them will not lead to drowsiness or sleepiness throughout the day. By promoting balance the flower essences help us feel happier, healthier and more alive.

Solar Flares and Yarrow Environmental Solution


Solar Flare activity has heated up this month and reports suggest that we will be seeing increased solar flare activity all year. Solar flares are intensely activating, sending masses of energy towards the earth in one fell swoop, within a solar flare are increased amounts of UV rays including X rays and other forms of radiation. While I do not believe the doomsdayers regarding this being the end of the world I would like to note that this does expose us to greater levels of harmful rays emitted by the sun and I do think some precautions are wise in this respect. 



Yarrow Environmental Solution
Thanks to the research conducted by FES in response to the Chernobyl accident we have FES's Yarrow Environmental Solution. It was designed to help the body with stand the harmful effects of radiation, it is a combination of flower essences, herbs and Celtic Sea Salt. It is a simple formula and is great to use whenever we are exposed to harmful radiation whether from the sun or from electronic devices. This formula can be enhanced by the addition of Bach's Walnut, as walnut is noted for its protective qualities as well.

Yarrow Environmental Solution is also a smart essence combination for the helping to protect us from the high levels of electronic radiation we are now more subject to. Modern technology has graced our lives with much in the way of innovation and at the same time brought more radiation concerns into our lives. Especially from computers and cell phones, as well as cell towers, which are a major contributor to E-Smog, electronic radiation pollution.

How to Use Yarrow Environmental Solution:
For best results take 2-4 drops directly from the stock bottle in the morning and then two more times throughout the day, depending on your exposure level. Also using Bach's Walnut at 2 drops 2-4 times a day for added support. When using essences for physical level treatment it is best to use them at stock level, as this provides the greatest level of support and protection.

To take it one step further and for added benefit make a spray bottle solution with essences, to address the concerns mentioned in this post add 7 drops of Yarrow and Walnut flower essence to a spray. To make a spray solution purchase a 2 oz bottle from your local health food store, fill it with spring water, a little alcohol and some essential oils if you like. You can use this to spray your aura and your living/working space.
