Flower Essences ~ Rescue Remedy (Part II)
As an ingredient in Rescue Remedy, rock rose helps in cases of extreme fear, terror, and panic. It helps to give us courage, as well as faith that things will work out exactly like they are meant to.
As an individual remedy, rock rose aids those who feel helpless or experience panic and anxiety attacks. It is an excellent aid for heart palpitations as well. This remedy also helps those who might be a threat to themselves.
IMPATIENS
Many of us are familiar with impatiens, but when making the flower essence remedy, we need to make sure to use the Impatiens glandulifera, a tall annual with beautiful mauve flowers that grows in damp environments. Because the seed pods "explode on impact," this variety of impatiens is often called "touch me not." It grows well near streams and ditches, and the remedy is made using the sun method.
As part of the Rescue Remedy, its goal is to slow us down, help us be more patient. It can ease that "fidgety" feeling we get after something traumatic and even help ease nervous tension and the accompanying indigestion.
As an individual remedy, it helps us become more decisive, organized, and balanced. The person who needs impatiens might be one who speaks their mind before thinking, often hurting other people's feelings. This person probably never slows down until an illness makes puts them in bed to rest. This is what I call a "go with the flow" remedy because it helps us accept the natural pace of life instead of constantly battling it. If you're one of those folks who becomes very irritable while waiting in a line at the grocery store, this would make an excellent remedy for you.
STAR OF BETHLEHEM
The Star of Bethlehem, otherwise known as Ornithogalum umbellatum, is a beautiful, delicate wild lily with a bloom that resembles a six-pointed star. These lovely bulbs grow wild in Asia, North Africa, and the U.K. The flower essence remedy is made using the boiling method.
As an ingredient in Rescue Remedy, Star of Bethlehem is valued for its ability to ease the physical and emotional effects of shock. It is a comforting remedy.
As an individual remedy, Star of Bethlehem is especially beneficial for those who have buried traumatic events deep in their subconscious. This remedy works through every cell in the body and has a settling, neutralizing ability to heal. It brings us the harmony that we seek after surviving
