My article in the Essentials magazine discusses a few of this symptoms and the flower remedies that can help.

If you are struggling with any of these symptoms, or any of the many other symptoms of menopause, message me to see how the flower remedies can help.

WOW moments!

Those who know me will know how much I love the Bach flower remedies, they never fail to amaze me with what they can do. We have had a couple of wow moments with our ten year old that he wanted me to share.

Our youngest is a very sensitive young man. He is afraid of a few things such as flying insects and spiders, and he is also, as are lots of children, very afraid of the dark. A couple of months ago his Scout group were going on a night hike but he refused to go because it was too dark and too scary. This week, his Scout group were going on another evening hike, and as before he adamantly didn't want to go and there was no persuading him. However, the moment I picked him up from school on the day of the hike, he told me he was going to go on the hike, and he did and loved it! He feels very proud of himself, as are we.

Not only that, WoW moment number 2 happened on the same night when the electicity tripped and all the lights went out. When this happened a few weeks ago he was very upset and really scared. This time, however, was completely different. He stayed calm, wasn't overly bothered and patiently waited for the electricity to come back on, a huge step forward,

So why is it a Bach Flower remedy wow moment? For the past four weeks, every day in his water bottle, he has been having a mix of 6 remedies to help with a variety of things, one of which is Mimulus. Mimulus is the remedy for the fear of known things. His confidence and courage has grown over the past few weeks, doing things he would never have chosen to do even a couple of months ago, thanks to the Bach Flower remedies, Wow!

This is just a snippet of how the Bach Flower remedies can help. I have plenty more that I will share!

How to choose your remedies

Choosing which remedies you need can be tricky and you have a few options when deciding what it is you need:

1 - A Consultation with a personalised bottle of remedies – If you aren’t so familiar with the Bach Flower remedies, a consultation is the perfect way to discuss any emotional challenges that you, or your family member/pet are facing at the moment. It gives you the opportunity to talk through those challenges in more depth and to identify the remedies that will help to create your personalised bottle specific to your situation.

2 - Choose your own - if you are familiar the Bach Flower remedies and know which ones you want, or have done some research and certain remedies have stood out to you, I can make you a bottle with your chosen remedies. Drop me a message with the remedies you would like to be included.

3 – Remedy mixes – I have created some remedy mixes, combining remedies that may help with your sleep, concentration, test anxieties, confidence or low mood. Have a look at the description for each which lists some of the emotions that each of the mixes can help with. Pick the mix that most relates to your overall feelings and emotional state at the moment. The closer the match, the more effective the mix will be. Don’t worry, you can’t go wrong! If there is a remedy that doesn’t fit your emotions at the time, it just won’t do anything.

How to help your teenagers and children

Bach Flower remedies feature a lot in our house, helping us all to navigate the emotional rollercoaster of life, including Nellie our dog. With 38 remedies in total, which can be combined with up to 6 remedies at a time, virtually all emotional difficulties can be addressed for any individual, both human and animal.

Lots of conversations I have with friends often come round to our teenagers, how they are coping, or quite often not coping, with all of the changes they are having to navigate in their lives. I remember one Mum friend saying years ago that at the age of 12 her loving, cuddly, open daughter was abducted by aliens, replaced by a grumpy, sullen, critical, negative stranger and then returned again about 17, something I should think many parents can level with.

The teenage years are tough! And not just for our teenagers, its just as tough for us parents who have to learn to navigate the moods, the attitude, the fashion, the right things to say, the wrong things to say, whether to say anything at all, which battle do we pick…the list is endless. It is a minefield, a learning curve, a ‘journey’ that doesn’t come with a handbook. The teenage years are tricky for all involved.

What does your teenager struggle with?

One of my favourite remedies is Walnut which is for change. Teen years are full of change such as changing lessons, teachers, schools and friends as well as hormonal and physical changes. Walnut will help them to feel more settled and to cope with change more easily.

Exams and tests are huge for most teenagers, the worry that they aren’t going to do very well, not believing they can do it, feeling like they aren’t good enough, worrying that they are going to let people down. Larch is the remedy for confidence and Pine for feeling like they aren’t good enough.

Self image can be a huge concern for our youngsters, whether it is hormonal spots and acne or negative body image. Crab Apple is known as the cleanser and helps to feel self-acceptance and to see things in a better light.

Is your teenager grumpy, angry, frustrated but can’t explain why they feel that way? Holly will help to feel less ‘prickly’.

They may have irrational thoughts and those ‘about to explode’ feelings, feeling like they are going to lose control. Cherry Plum will help to calm the mind regain control.

Our youngster may feel anxious but don’t know why which is where Aspen can help, or they may feel anxious or scared and know exactly what they are scared of which is where they would need Mimulus.

Does your teenager hide their anxieties and pretend everything is ok? They may be afraid of what others may think so keep it to themselves. Agrimony can help them to share their feelings and realise that they are not alone.

One Mum friend said that her teen could walk out of the door in one mood and return a minute as a completely different person, and if she is asked to make a decision she has become more indecisive swinging between the options. Scleranthus is the remedy to bring back some balance and stability.

If your teen has become a daydreamer with seemingly no focus then Clematis can help, or if they feel tired or fed up and bored of life (probably school!) and struggle with that Monday morning feeling, then Hornbeam can give them a bit more resolve to get through the day.

And there is so much more!

If you want to give the remedies a go, you have a couple of options:

If you know which remedies you want, up to 6, let me know and I will make the bottle up for you.

Or, if you are unsure which ones you need to choose, book a consultation so we can have a chat and work out which remedies will be the best ones to start with.

And remember that the remedies can help everyone in the family, not just the young ones!
