Sometimes we feel overwhelmed, exhausted or tired for no reason. Sometimes the stress of work or home can take it’s toll on your well being. It’s ok to feel drained sometimes, but eventually you’ll need to pick yourself up. If you’re unable to shake the funk, then you should always consult a doctor, but sometimes you can find therapy in the soil. In the beginning of the 20th century Edward Bach, a medical doctor and one of the first homeopaths, discovered some flower remedies that he believed could help cure the blues. Here’s a list of some of Bach’s Flower remedies for depression.
Rose Petals
Rose petals can you feel refreshed, relaxed and invigorated. Rose water is said to be a very potent ritual water and is very easy to make. All you have to do is place your rose petals in a container with water and leave said container out in the sunlight. You can use the flowers from older bouquets or arrangements.
