Mustard is one of the Bach Flower Remedies and is really supportive remedy for if you ever experience those times when a sudden “black cloud” of gloom descends on you for no clear or obvious reason.
Signs that you might need Mustard are feelings of gloom or despair that you can’t hide or shake off. These feelings of unexplained despair, sorrow or grief can often lead you to want to withdraw from life or make you feel isolated from the world around you.
Mustard helps to disperse that sense of inner darkness, gently restoring light, clarity, and a renewed sense of joy.
Mustard is a valuable remedy at any time of year, but it can be especially helpful in autumn and winter when the nights draw in and the days are darker.
Dr. Bach’s description of Mustard was: "Those who are liable to times of gloom, or even despair, as though a cold dark cloud overshadowed them and hid the light and the joy of life. It may not be possible to give any reason or explanation for such attacks. Under these conditions it is almost impossible to appear happy or cheerful".
In the positive Mustard state we feel much happier and lighter, with a more positive outlook on life. It feels easier to be more clear headed and light hearted and we’re more able to accept the ebb and flow of life’s rhythms and are comfortable with feelings of both sorrow and joy.
