Bach Flower Essences for Depression

Depression manifests three ways in the physical body, as exhaustion, as crying and as hormonal imbalances.

Gentian
Skeptical; dwell on the problem not the solution. Discouraged by setbacks.. 1/2 empty not 1/2 full. Succumb to doubt and pessimism.

Discouragement manifests in the adrenal glands and will create exhaustion in the system; the opposite of which is excitement, which helps to stimulate the adrenal glands.

Gorse
Little hope; world is dark and menacing place; no hope of improvement or betterment ahead. Loss of faith.. little can be done to improve a condition.

The Gorse depression is one that is feeling of being lost and alone in a dark, cold world.

Mustard
Unexpected bouts of depression or inner darkness..mood swings.. feeling of depression comes from outside of you. The Mustard depression comes and goes and the person who experiences these states is unaware of the reasons for the depression. Most often I see Mustard manifest as hormonal imbalances. I have used mustard during times of fluctuating periods for the young as well as hot flashes for the old.

Sweet Chestnut
Hit rock bottom, extreme state of despair - no way out! Extreme mental anguish or suffering.. breaking point has been reached. Sense of utter aloneness or abandonment.. test of faith. The Sweet Chestnut is a very deep depression with the feeling that all is lost.

Thank you very much. Immensely grateful for sharing your knowledge.
I had been reading articles from your blog site and they came in very handy to deal with a crisis very recently. Rescue remedy, sweet chestnut and walnut were useful to reduce the stress at the moment.

A request - can you tell me how to help a young person and an elderly man cope with grief and bereavement. What flower remedies or homeopathic medicine would help right away. She lost her mother suddenly just 10 days ago.
Would be of great help if you could mention dosage and length of time they would need it initially.

Would appreciate if a full article can be written to cope with sudden loss and remedies helpful for it - especially loss of parent/sibling/spouse and a pet. Also loss of job, livelihood, status.
Thank you.Looking forward to your reply.

Good morning:

Thank you for taking the time to write. The remedy that I believe helps to balance the pain of loss is a homeopathic remedy called Ignatia. You can find information about this remedy on the internet. I would take 1 pellets every day until the feeling has shifted. I would also remind myself that they have not really left us; they have only left their physical body behind. Moving the pain out of the way, we can remember the love .. and love will keep us connected forever.

I hope this helps in some small way.

Hope you will give us an article too to cope with loss and bereavement.
Thank you.
