I have been moved to write this post this week, about Honeysuckle – a remedy to help with homesickness.

Where does the homesickness come from?

I spent 6 years living in Corfu, and until lockdown we had holidays every year in Crete and other Greek islands.  My love of Greece and all things Greek has never left me.  The sights the sounds, the warmth, the music, and the food just pull me back to my years spent there.

The strange part is that some of that time was completely miserable and very distressing but out of the sad has come these beautiful memories of a wonderful country. I worked and lived in Corfu and married a Greek and had my wonderful daughter Eleni, she speak fluent Greek and despite the separation from her father the Greek side of her life is very strong in her.

What is the sign of Honeysuckle need?

The Honeysuckle remedy is incredibly good if you find yourself suffering from homesickness, if you are living away from home and family and unable to settle into new experiences.  You may find it hard to believe that anything positive or enjoyable is ever possible again.

This remedy is here to help us with our memories of the past, memories are brilliant but when much of their life if preoccupied with the events of the past, whether these be happy or sad.  There is a huge tendency for them to almost living in the past, childhood memories, homesickness, regrets of past mistakes or missed opportunities and this leads them to spending most of their time feeling sad and low.  With the constant wish and longing for the good old days and if only life could have been different.

When people feel like this there is a possibility of the they will lose any interest in current affairs and issues about today.  Going back to the past is their safe place and where they want to stay, however, to spend your time feeling low and is a difficult thing for your family and friends to also understand.

Honeysuckle remedy can often those children who are at boarding school and struggling being way from home, for those travelling for work and trying to settle into new routines.

What can the positive do?

The positive of Honeysuckle is that it will help to bring you into the future, still having the memories but without the longing for the past.  It will help to bring you into the here and now.  Honeysuckle for me has brought a peace of mind and settlement, the times were good but we have to move on and leave them. I can however still enjoy the holidays and come back to reality at the end of the day xx
