When Dr Bach put the remedies together he divided them into 7 specific groups and one by one I would like look at them and to see how relevant they may be to you in your current world.

Would you believe that you could divide the emotion Fear into 5 separate emotions, well Dr Bach did and when analysed we can see how useful it is to break them down in this way. Whilst we all say we are frightened at some point in our lives we don’t very often say specifically what we are frightened off unless its something straightforward like the dark, or heights.

So let’s look at the different types that he has given us and also the remedies that he has provided.

1. 1. 1. Fear of the unknown – when you have an unexplained feeling of the jitters in your stomach, an anxiety that you cannot put your finger on. This is when Aspen becomes the remedy that you need to consider.
      2. Fear of the known – when you can specifically name what it is that you are frightened of, what seriously concerns you – is it the dark, spiders, heights, agoraphobia etc – the Mimulus remedy can calm the anxiety and fear and enable you to find your inner courage.
      3. Fear of losing control – When your thoughts and sometimes your actions run out of control, leaving you feeling very perturbed about losing the plot – Cherry plum is the remedy to help you balance your emotions and regain a rational perspective.
      4. Fear for loved ones – for those of us who spend our entire time worrying and feeling fearful for our loved one, terrified that something is going to happen to them – here the Red chestnut remedy is the calming influence enabling you to find a positive and secure outlook on life so you can relax and let go of your fear.
      5. Terror – quite simply blind panic and uncontrollable fear – the case of fright or flight when you are frozen with fear. In this instance we have Rock Rose – to help you find a way to gently resolve your fears and calm you in your hour of need.
