Survive a Stress-Free Christmas with Bach Flowers

The festive season is often touted as “the most wonderful time of the year,” but for many, it can be a source of stress and anxiety. From planning family gatherings to managing expectations and dealing with financial pressures, the holiday season can leave you feeling frazzled. Thankfully, Bach Flower Remedies offer a natural way to restore emotional balance and help you navigate the festive season calmly and joyfully. Here are some ways to use these gentle remedies to create a stress-free Christmas.

1. Combat Holiday Overwhelm with Elm

The endless to-do lists, gift shopping, and event planning can overwhelm you. Elm is the perfect remedy when you feel temporarily unable to cope with your responsibilities. A few drops of Elm in your water bottle can help you regain confidence and stay on top of tasks without feeling burdened.

2. Manage Family Dynamics with Beech and Holly

Holiday gatherings often mean spending time with family members who may not always see eye to eye. Beech can help foster tolerance and understanding, especially if you find accepting other people’s quirks hard. If jealousy or resentment bubbles up, Holly can help you replace negative emotions with love and compassion.

3. Stay Calm During Travel with Rescue Remedy

Travelling during the holidays can be hectic, with long lines, delays, and crowded spaces. Rescue Remedy, a combination of five Bach Flower essences, is your go-to for acute stress and anxiety. Keep a small bottle handy for a quick calming boost during travel mishaps.

To read the complete list, check out my blog on my website, where I share four other remedies to help you stay stress-free this Christmas.

Merry Christmas.

Do you know that there are healing plants in the UAE? Do you know about this tree and what it’s called? It’s taken me a while to find out. It’s called the Christ’s Thorn tree.

These trees grow very well in all plains and wadis (sand or gravel) and at all elevations. They are a very common plant in the mountain terrain of the northern Emirates (Hajar Mountain).

Ripe fruits are edible; the seeds inside are roasted and eaten.
Wood is used as fuel or for charcoal making; it is also suitable for making furniture, tools, posts, poles, and construction work.

Camels and wildlife browse the leaves. Applying powdered leaves is said to darken and lengthen women’s hair. Leaves and bark are also used to cure stomach disorders.

Seeds are used to cure throat infections and as a conditioner to encourage hair growth. The root is used to treat headaches and tonsillitis.

While hiking, I saw ripe fruit in the trees but was too afraid to taste the berries. I didn’t get a chance, if you do let me know what they taste like.

I am always looking for healing plants and natural ways to heal. Is this information interesting to read?

Wellness treatments are not a luxury, and only for people who can afford them. Wellness and being healthy are for everyone.

Self-care and having tools to help you keep healthy, have been at the forefront of what I do. When I became a Bach Flower practitioner I loved everything about the remedies, their simplicity, and helping with your emotional well-being.

At the start, I wanted to help everyone who came to see me but deep down I knew that I would have more impact by educating the benefits of the remedies, which led to becoming a trainer.

Dr Bach’s legacy of the Bach Flower remedies, was to be a self-help system and for everyone to have access to them and not just the chosen few.

My mission is to share the benefits of the 38 Bach Flower remedies and how they can help you.

Today, I found Rescue Remedy available in a natural shop in Tavira, the town I call home.

How to make Bach flower remedies.

The flower heads are picked, placed in a glass bowl filled with spring water, and left in the sun for three hours.

This is known as the Sun method using only Mother Nature.

The spring water is then filtered and combined with 50% brandy to create the mother tincture. Two drops from the mother tincture are placed in a stock bottle and filled with brandy or vegetable glycerin as a preservative.

Did you find this interesting and would you like to learn more about the remedies?

I get frequently asked what Flower essences/ remedies are.

🌸

Try to think of everything as having a vibration: emotions, flowers, music, and they all have frequencies.

🌸

If HOLLY remedy resonates at the same frequency as hate, it will harmonise the hate emotion to show LOVE. The same goes for guilt, resentment, trauma, and loss. All these emotions vibrate, and Dr. Bach found that when we take Bach’s flower remedies, we harmonise these negative emotions with positive ones.

🌸

Bach flower remedies are simple and not complicated once you identify which of the 38 remedies to use. Each remedy works with a different emotion, so understanding how you feel will guide you in choosing the remedy you need.

Do you trust your intuition?

Is it like a compass guiding you in the right direction, or are you feeling out of alignment and reaching for your phone to call a friend?

When we feel disconnected or out of alignment with our inner voice, doubt sets in, this is when CERATO remedy can help, to quieten the monkey mind and help you find inner peace again to guide you.

As the season changes, and the leaves of the trees turn into beautiful Autumn colours, they will start to fall. I’ve been reflecting on how lovely my summer was. Walking down country paths, foraging from our neighbours’ trees and picking figs from our garden has been part of our new life. It couldn’t be further from our city life.

What is lovely is that our neighbours allow you to take what overhangs into the lanes. We have been blessed on our trips to collect almonds, carob, oranges, and figs, and to meet the local animals. Last week we collected Olives.

As we wander the paths, I think of how Dr Bach wandered through nature looking for the flowers to make the remedies. How blessed we are to have mother nature to provide healing flowers.

We feel blessed to be in the countryside with abundance at our doorstep and lovely neighbours who attend to their land.

Autumn teaches us the beauty of letting go. Growth requires release—it’s what the trees do.” — Ka’ala

The trees are changing colours around me and to embrace autumn I collected some of the branches and made this wreath for my new front door.

“Healing with the clean, pure, beautiful agents of nature is surely the one method of all which appeals to most of us” Dr Bach

Do you love a walk on the beach or walking barefoot on the grass? These are a few experiences I have loved doing this Autumn.

Autumn in Portugal is a lovely season; the air is clean and fresh in the morning, and then the skies turn a beautiful blue. The trees have started to change colour and the leaves will soon be falling to the ground as the trees get ready for winter.

I didn’t realise how much I missed the season and the other day I read that when we lose connection to nature the Bach flower remedies can help us reconnect. I think this is so true, and why the remedies became so important when I lived in Dubai. I missed the seasons, clean air, forest bathing, walking through meadows of wild flowers as everything there is cultivated to look good.

What do you love about nature?
