Teenagers & Bach Flower remedies

By MELANIE BURGESS

Teenage years have always been tricky to negotiate. An emotional rollercoaster where our young people go through so many changes both physically and mentally, trying to work out who they are and where they fit into the world. Bach Flower remedies can help with those emotional difficulties for all those involved.

Which remedies can help?

Rescue Remedy - The most well known of remedies that every household, or handbag should have for emotional emergencies. It contains Rock Rose for extreme, rooted to the spot fear, something our teens may face in school or before exams. Rock Rose helps to bring the fear to a manageable level. It also contains Cherry Plum for the feeling of losing control, which helps bring the irrational thoughts and those ‘about to explode’ feelings under control.

Aspen can help anxieties with unknown origin, e.g. “I don’t know what is going to happen in school today but I am worried.” Or for known fears Mimulus could help, e.g. “I have PE today and the bully I am scared of will be there.”

Teenagers often struggle with mood swings and can’t explain why they feel angry or frustrated. Holly will help so they feel less ‘prickly’.

Does your teenager hide their anxieties and pretend everything is ok?

Perhaps they are afraid of what others may think, so keep it to themselves? Agrimony can help them to share their feelings and realise that they are not alone.

Teen years are full of change. Not only do teenagers have to cope with external changes such as changing lessons, teachers, schools and friends, they are also dealing with a myriad of hormonal and physical changes. Walnut will help them to feel more settled and to cope with change more easily.

Are they very self-critical, hard on themselves, feel like they aren’t good enough, have feelings of unfounded guilt or blame themselves for things? Then Pine is the necessary remedy.

There are so many more emotions our teens will experience, but there is a Bach Flower remedy for all of them.

And don’t forget the rest of the family, the remedies are for everyone.
