Fleurs de Bach Honeysuckle N°16

What is a floral elixir according to Dr. Bach?

Dr. Edward Bach (1886-1936) assumed that certain negative emotional states can have a detrimental effect on our bodily well-being. Thus, rather than directly relieving a physical dysfunction, he advocated the restoration of a psychological balance based on the use of 38 different flowers with harmonizing and positive strength.

This method does not claim to be the solution to all the physical or moral inconveniences that can be encountered but it can play a significant supporting role in case of emotional imbalance.

Overview

The Latin name for honeysuckle, caprifolium, means "goat leaf". It is said that once, young goats liked to graze its young shoots. There are about one hundred species of honeysuckle. Some are from temperate regions of Europe. Others come from Asia or South America, and were introduced to Europe in the early nineteenth century. According to the legend of Tristan and Iseut, Tristan would have engraved words of love on a rolled branch of honeysuckle.

This flower is suitable for those who are not interested in the present and live in the past. It's a past that may have been happier for them, or at least they believe it. They live in the memory of a lost friend, in the regret of a disappointed ambition. They obviously do not expect to find happiness similar to the one they knew. They would like to be happy, but they can not do it alone. They are unable to forget their beautiful memories of the past no time. Their only pleasure is to indulge in the melancholy, in the sweet and bitter solitude of a life peopled by the regret of unforgettable ghosts.

We find in these people relegated to the margins of reality present the same signs of melancholy that those who can see in the Honeysuckle signage. This shrub grows away from bushes and hedges, or like an ornamental plant in a walled garden, in an aristocratic loneliness. However, its ivory-yellow flowers with slight red shades in the center give life to the uniform landscape and the conventional setting of gardens, which usually spread around them always a little melancholy. The honeysuckle, by its floral remedy disperses the shadows of the past, the dead things that have made their time, which have lost the fascination of present and living things and of which there is not even a sound. The woody stem of this climbing shrub embodies the mobile attitude that must have of those who want to live in the concrete present. The advantage of the present life is that it beats in the current feelings of this person and that of his relatives.

The honeysuckle teaches to love the present, to free oneself in a confident and casual way for the things that make up a meaningful day.
