Bach Flower - Rock Rose (Helianthemum Nummularium)

Rock Rose is one of the Bach Flower Essences contained in Feel5ive Remedy - the pre-mixed remedy that comes to the rescue when we're faced with stressful, fearful situations. This essence helps build courage and alleviate terror.

Examples of people in the negative Rock Rose state include those who have just been given the news of a life-threatening accident or illness; children who awaken screaming from a nightmare and can't calm down enough to go back to sleep; or persons who have narrowly escaped a serious accident and are still shaking with fear.

This is a state of frozen fear that has been aptly described as a "punch in the stomach," and that is an apt description, because the solar plexus is at the center of the nervous system, which has suddenly been rendered unable to cope.

The fear emanated by individuals in this negative state pervades the whole aura to an extent that some sensitives have actually been able to give a physical description of it.

Treatment with this Bach Flower Remedy allows a state of calm and reason to return, while the fear subsides. Parents of a child who suffers often from nightmares would do well to keep a bottle of this flower essence close at hand.

Positive Rock Rose energy is quite the opposite. In the positive state, individuals are able to mobilize tremendous forces that allow them to grow beyond themselves.

The negative Rock Rose state is usually temporary and responds instantly to Bach Flower Remedies for treatment. It is often indicated for children who are going through growth phases which cause fear.

However, some true Rock Rose types can be found among adults. They may not appear nervous on the outside, but their energy reserves are extremely low and they are delicate in their nervous constitution.

This Bach Flower Remedy has proven helpful as an additional medication in the treatment of sun stroke, heat stroke, and drug addiction.
