Hello Minal.  Thank you for leaving a Comment.  (I think you posted in Facebook too?)
I&#039;m sorry to hear that Star of Bethlehem didn&#039;t help you when you repeated the remedy.
There are several reasons this might happen:
Star of Bethlehem is for shock, trauma and saddness; sorrow.  It also helps us if we feel we&#039;ve &#039;fallen apart&#039;.
So if you didn&#039;t have one of those feelings, it could have just &quot;pulled you together, for a short time, and now you need other remedies?
Another reason that the remedy didn&#039;t work for you could be because you weren&#039;t taking it often enough. 
Sometimes we need to take the remedy evern 30 minutes for a while, to help stabilise our feelings.
Or it could be that you need other remedies now.  We never have one feeling at once, so we often need several remedies at once.  So have another look at your feelings, and see if you need any other remedies at the same time,
I hope this is helpful.  Rose.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[In reply to &lt;a href=&quot;https://thebachflowerschool.com/bach-flowers/bach-flowers-for-depression/#comments/592&quot;&gt;April Holloway .&lt;/a&gt;.

Hello April.  Thank you for leaving the comment.
Oh dear - that&#039;s not an easy question - and there is unlikely to be one remedy to help you.
There are over 10 remedies for Depression and Dispair - it a matter of knowing the cause: and how you feel - its all about emotions and the cause.
There are two remedies for lacking motivation - Hornbeam is about lack of external motivation (no motivation for work)
And Wild Rose lack internal motivation.  (No believe that you change your life).
Even the lack of self-confidence causes a very deep depression.
And then there&#039;s Mustard when you can&#039;t identify the cause for the fog that descends.

If I suggested any remedies, it would be like throwing darts, and that would not be effective.
I&#039;ve just checked your file, and you&#039;ve only just joined me, so as you yet, you don&#039;t have my Handy Prescriber Guide (which woudl help you find remedies for yuor depresssion and lack of montivation) or my book Simply Bach Flowers.

So,if you have a Bach book see if you can find something in there.
Or, just in case you&#039;d like my book - here is the link to have a look.
https://thebachflowerschool.com/simply-bach-flowers/

Or for the free guides....., https://thebachflowerschool.com/free-bach-flower-remedy-handy-guides/
I&#039;m sorry I can&#039;t be of more help.  I need a lot more information to be able to select some remedies to help you.
I hope there is something here to help you.
Love Rose]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[In reply to &lt;a href=&quot;https://thebachflowerschool.com/bach-flowers/bach-flowers-for-depression/#comments/459&quot;&gt;Libby Handley&lt;/a&gt;.

Hello Libby.  Thank your your comments.  I&#039;m not sure what you mean by &#039;how many types&#039;?
You mention the remedies preserved in alcohol - and the alcohol-free remedires.  Is that what you mean?
Or do you mean how many manufactures there are?
I think there are 2 Bach manufactures that make non-alcoholic remedies:

Nelsons - this is the most popular, and so the easiest to findon Google.
Creature Comforters  - https://www.creaturecomforters.org/store/c3/Bach_Flower_Essences_Posters_and_Cards.html
(Creature Comforters is in England - so if you live anywhere else, you&#039;ll have postage and customs duty to deal with)&gt;
I do hope this is helpful.
Warm wishes.
Rose]]></description>

Hello Lib.  Thank you for asking this question - it is a good one.
By the time you&#039;ve made up a Treatment Bottle and then taken 4 drops from that into a glass of water, the remedies/brandy is much diluted, there is very little brandy in the glass.
However--- brandy has a strong taste and smell.  And I don&#039;t think its fair to put that temptation in front of the person concerned.
So... there are two companies that make Alcoholic-free remedies.  
As I don&#039;t know where you are - the easiest way is to find Alcohol free remedies is to ask Google.
If you hou have any other questions, please email me on rose@thebachflowerschool.com
warm wishes.   Rose]]></description>
