Bach Flower Essence Combinations

Please note that these formulas are merely guidelines. Each person has their own story and underlying cause behind their problem… for example, you might have anxiety, because you suppress your emotions, or because you are shy and timid and a different remedy is needed in both of these conditions. Use your own wisdom to modify these combinations. I highlighted the essences that I believe is essential in each formula.

Depression Formulas

I decided to include more than one formula in case of depression, because its just a general term for something much more complex and personal. Also, I don’t think that a single formula would be enough for depression, its more like going layer by layer. Once again, use your wisdom.
