Pine & Pine Pollen
Pine – Pinus sylvestris
I think everyone of you already knows Pine, originally discovered by Dr. Edward Bach himself and so longer than 70 years in use coming with a precise description of what to expect from the essence. Today let us take a look at the wider picture, since Pine is a widely used plant providing us with more than just her essence.
Pine does not need much to grow, has no special preferences, you can find her on sandy soil as well as on a ground of rocks. Pine was the pionier that formed the primeval forest after the last iceage in Europe. This plant is so flexible and adaptable using the wind to carry her pollen to other plants.
Impatiens - Resting in Your Center
Impatiens - Impatiens glandulifera
Impatiens has been the first modern flower essence. Together with Clematis and Mimulus this flower marked a turning point in Edward Bach’s therapy concept. These three flower remedies were first prepared in homeopathic way, before the sun method was discovered. Bach introduced them in his essay ‚Some New Remedies and New Uses‘ in 1930 in the World Homeopathic to the public. Bach’s first presentation of Impatiens, however, differs significantly from even his later definition. First he found Impatiens an effective remedy in the treatment of pain and nerve problems. Indications were headaches, neuralgia, nerve pain, as well as depression and anxiety.
Later he wrote in »The Twelve Healers«: »Those who are quick in thought and action and who wish all things to be done without hesitation or delay. When ill they are anxious for a hasty recovery. They find it very difficult to be patient with people who are slow, as they consider it wrong and a waste of time, and they will endeavour to make such people quicker in all ways. They often prefer to work and think alone, so that they can do everything at their own speed.«
