Hello Dawn. Thank you for leaving a comment on the website, and for your very kind words.
I love to share what I know about the Bach Flower Remedies. I’m always surprised that they’re not more widely used – so I’m working on it!
When you take the remedy you need, the affect is almost ‘instananeous’! And I love how we forget to take the remedy when we no longer need it.
When you have some ‘spare time’ go over the Foundation course again – you’ll be amazed at how much you missed when you first read it!
Thank you once again – enjoy your Bach Flower journey. Love Rose

It is always such a pleasure learning from you. You have a true gift and I thank you for sharing it. I have taken your Foundational course and learned so much. I’ve used several remedies making sure to match my feelings and I am always amazed at the results. I find that when I no longer need a remedy I simply just forget to take it or sip on it. They are beautiful amazing things. Thank you again and I love these emails when I see them in my inbox!!

Dear Barbara. Thank you for your kind words. I appreciate them.
Sometimes, a helping hand (and a simle) is just the help we need to make a difference.
I’m here to help so email me on rose@rosetodd.com and I’ll get to you as soon as I can.
Take care. Warm wishes Rose

What a giving person you are to reply to me and the suggestions. In a place where I feel very much alone, your kindness has touched me.
I will follow with the Red Chestnut and the Oak. I never considered Oak so thank you.

Wendy took all the remedies at once. We can mix together up to 6 remedies at once, and the most effective way to mix and take the remedies is from Treatment Bottle. (I’ll leave you the link to a blog about Treatment Bottles at the end of my reply.)
Wendy took all the remedies I suggested in one Treatment Bottle.
Lets see if I can make some suggestions for you. Your negative feelings indicate with Bach Flowers you need.
As you can see you need Willow, that’s good.
Walnut is another good one, because you’re moving from being a ‘daughter’/to being your Mother’s Carer. You”re changing ‘roles’.
Red Chesnut is an excellent choice – it helps with anxiety of loved ones.
I think you could do with Oak to – this is the remedy for those who feel the reponsibility and the duty of what they’re doing. It works well with Willow.
The Bach Flower Course is available on line, so will be waiting for you when you’re ready.

Here is the link to tell you the best way to take the remedies.

Hello Barbara. Thank you for leaving your comment about the remedies for the Caregiver. And suggesting that the Carers could do with some Elm.
Bach said we should only mix together 6 remedies, so I don’t suggest more than 6 remedies. I chose some of the most intense feelings that a Carer could be feeling.
Yes, if you’re finding the responsibility of your mothers care overwhelming, Elm will help you.
I always choose the remedies for the most intense feelings. In this case, Elm was not one of those remedies.
Caring for our loved ones is difficult and indeed a labour of love. Much love to you. Rose.

I’m feeling a little overwhelmed at the moment being my mother’s caregiver. Elm seems like it would be a fit for me.

Dear Sylvia. Thank you for your comment and your kind words. I’m glad to help.
Well done on caring for your parents. Illnesses of the Mind are particularlly difficult to deal with – not only physically and emotionally, but because seeing our parents in that state is soul destroying.
I too wish I had know about the Remedies years ago. Although I was introduced to them 40 years ago, it was some years before I began to learn about them and use them regularly. There are remedies to heal your feelings of regret. And, as you know, when you take a good remedy that heals your feelings (even deep feelings can be healed), it give us hope for the future.
Take care. Love Rose.

Dear Sue. Thank you for your very candid comments. You summed up all the feelings that arise while you’re careing for someone really well. As you mention, to do the Caring, you have to give up your freedom and independance. Few realise this ! Thank you for mentioning it. You know these feelings well from experience. I do know how difficult the last years have been for you.
indeed Caring for Carers could become a niche for you. There are thousands of people ‘caught’ in Caring. I think its a great idea. Much love Sue.

I only wish I knew about these remedies when I was taking care of my (divorced) sick parents with dementia and Parkinson. I have regrets now that I didn’t have more patience but was overworked with them, individually and with my own problems with my family and work. I can relate. I always appreciate the way you are able to see deeper into each person in order to know exactly what remedy they need. After all the hardships and regrets, it is difficult for me to maintain any kind of hope for a good future. But I keep reading all your blogs for enlightenment.
Thank you,
Sylvia
