There can be few more welcome sights than spring blossom!
No wonder Dr Bach used the Crab Apple flower for one of his potent emotional remedies.
When combining remedies for people, I find I’m often taking the little Crab Apple bottle out of the box. Dr Bach described it as:
‘the remedy which helps us to get rid of anything we do not like either in our minds or our bodies’.
This remedy can help if you feel particularly self-conscious about an aspect of your physical appearance, or if you feel you have been contaminated in some way – such as having an infection or catching a bug.
It can also help when people feel fastidious about cleaning or hygiene. It’s helpful when the mind dwells on trivia at the expense of other, more important or relevant thoughts.
I have used this remedy with people who have ‘not felt right’ since they had large doses of painkillers for injury, or since being laid low with an illness or infection. Sometimes, the physical symptoms can recover, but emotional health has been affected too, and needs some support.
The remedies are not restricted to humans! - the Crab Apple remedy can be useful alongside treatments for animals who pick up worms and fleas, and plants that succumb to infection.
