Sweet Chestnut flowers and the Bach Flower Remedy
These are Sweet Chestnut flowers from a beautiful tree a short walk from us here at Crystal Herbs. The sun is shining here, but it’s been quite a windy day and the wind has created a beautiful pattern on the floor with all of the flowers that have fallen from the tree.
Sweet Chestnut is one of the flowers that Edward Bach chose for his 38 Bach Flower Remedies. Sweet Chestnut’s gift is its ability to restore our connection to our Soul’s light and love. In the acute state those in need of Sweet Chestnut feel that they have reached the limits of their endurance and are at the end of the road. In this extreme state they feel an absolute and utter despair or hopelessness – a state of desolation in which they feel isolated from the rest of mankind.
Often described as ‘the dark night of the soul’ this state can be experienced when the personality is faced with the challenge of confronting itself. Sweet Chestnut brings back the light and joy to life, dissolving the darkness.
