Skin
Coach Marjo Horn's advice:
Work on yourself with flower remedies! Change negative
emotions into positive emotions in order to become a balanced
human being. This will not only give you better health
but also your skin will be radiant.
Larch is the remedy for people who
feel that they are not as good as others and that they
are bound to fail. They lack confidence in their ability
to succeed and so often do not even bother trying. (cf
Elm people, where it is the desire to take on too much
that causes the temporary doubt.)
The
remedy helps people in this state to go ahead regardless
of thoughts of success and failure. More able to take
risks and be involved in life, they get more out of living.
negative:
self-doubt, inferiority, hesitant, passive, weak-willed,
afraid of failing, lack fo self confidence, feeling of
incapability, incapableness
positive:
self-confident,
realistic,
enthusiastic, self-aware,
not afraid doing things, brave
How to use the Bach flower remedies:
Only one remedy can be taken, but if necessary you can
choose to take six to seven remedies. See below for other
remedies.
You can take the remedies in several ways. For the treatment
of a short-term mood or problem the easiest way is to
put two drops of each selected remedy in a glass of water
and sip as required, but at least four times a day, until
relief is obtained. If using Rescue Remedy, put in four
drops instead of two. For the treatment of more chronic
problems you should make up a treatment bottle, as this
is more economical and will make the precious stock remedies
go a bit further. Simply get a 30ml bottle with a dropper
in the lid (try the local pharmacy), and then add two
drops of each selected remedy (four drops of Rescue Remedy)
to the bottle. Top this up with still mineral water and
from this bottle take four drops four times a day. If
you keep them in the fridge, treatment bottles will last
two or three weeks. If you can't keep your bottle in the
fridge but have to keep it in your pocket or handbag then
you can add a teaspoon of brandy to the treatment bottle
- this will help to keep the water from going off. If
you don't want to use brandy, cider vinegar is an alternative,
although it isn't quite so effective.
