Star of Bethlehem
My very favorite of all the Bach Flower Remedies. Why? Because this gift of Nature heals shock. Everybody has experienced shock. Some shocks we can deal with consciously. Other shocks are so severe they are buried in our unconsciousness. These buried shock traumas are the soil of chronic pathology. The deeply buried unconscious shocks are able to be retrieved and healed by Star of Bethlehem.This is Dr. Bach’s description from The 12 Healers and Other Remedies.
For despondency or despair: Star of Bethlehem: SHOCK: For those in great distress under conditions which for a time produce great unhappiness. The shock of serious news, the loss of some one dear, the fright following an accident, and such like. For those who for a time refuse to be consoled this remedy brings comfort.
Some additional Notes from Robert: all types of shock, comforter, of benefit to all, releases memories of shock from unconscious, soothing, when a flower medicine does not work consider Star of Bethlehem, when symptoms manifest unexpectedly consider Star of Bethlehem, when serious symptoms manifest years after a significant shock consider Star of Bethlehem, despondency from shock, grief, numbness, sadness, refused to be consoled, tension, unhappy.
Star of Bethlehem, as Dr. Bach called it, is “the comforter and soother of pains and sorrow”.
