Red Chestnut Bach Flower: For over-concern for others

If you're someone who is constantly anxious for the safety of your loved ones, then you may benefit from using the Bach flower remedy Red Chestnut. This remedy can help to ease your fears and allow you to focus on yourself more, rather than constantly worrying about others.

If need Red Chestnut you are caring, compassionate and can tune in to others and empathise easily. But sometimes this compassion overspills and can mean you’re constantly watching out for your loved ones in case something bad happens. For example, parents staying up waiting for their child to return home safely or sitting by the phone awaiting a text to say they’ve arrived safely at a destination.

It is often mothers and fathers who have strong bonds to their children and are almost too strongly tied to them or projecting their fears or worries onto them. Red Chestnut can just slightly loosen that tie so that you can both enjoy life freely without worry.

The positive potential of Red Chestnut is to have a more balanced level of concern for others without this becoming too excessive and where you can both enjoy a life of freedom.

More about Bach flower remedies

What are Bach flower remedies?

Bach Flower remedies were created in the 1930s by Dr Bach an English physician and homeopath. He created 38 different flower remedies (plus Rescue Remedy) with each one relating to a different emotional issue. They can help with all sorts of emotional support such as stress, anxiety, depression, motivation and sleep.

They are 100% natural, have no side effects and won’t interact with any existing medication you’re taking. They are gentle in their transformation.

How do you take Bach flower remedies?

Flower remedies have been used for decades to help with a wide range of ailments. You can take them by mouth either on your tongue or added to a drink, and the recommended dose is four drops, four times per day. If you feel like it's necessary, then you can take more often - there isn't any potential risk involved because these plants work through vibration energy so just follow what feels right for yourself at that moment
