Bach Flower for Worry, etc...
It’s no secret that I’ve spent a good share of my life working towards finding emotional healing from trauma. Right now, my best friend in this arena seems like Bach flower essences. They are homeopathic dilutions made from the flowers of trees, shrubs and other plants. What does that mean? It means that I can use White Chestnut on a specific point on the heart meridian to help. What is the benefit? Emotionally and mentally, it helps me to stop worrying. Physically, less stress on my heart.
According to John’s Hopkins’ Dr. Una McCann states, “It’s my view and my personal clinical experience that anxiety disorders can play a major role in heart disease.” She states further, “When someone is anxious, their body reacts in ways that can put an extra strain on their heart. The physical symptoms of anxiety can be especially damaging among individuals with existing cardiac disease. Some of these include, rapid heart rate, increased blood pressure, and decreased heart rate variability.
What symptoms were present to lead me to White Chestnut? Worry. Manual muscle testing led me to the heart meridian. The best part of using Bach flower essences? They’re relatively inexpensive, have immediate positive outcomes, and can provide lasting relief when used with a little knowledge.
What’s causing upset for you? Is it worry? Fear? Depression? While Bach flower essences are not a cure all, there is a learning curve, they certainly have their place. Blessings to your health!
