Aspen

(Bach Flower Essence)

PHARMACY

asp-b. Aspen. Populus tremula. Small twigs with leaf buds and clusters of flowers, which are the catkins, are boiled for half an hour. Both the male catkins, which are gray with tinges of red anthers or yellow pollen, and the smaller, gray female catkins are selected. The water

is subsequently strained and used as medicine. Historical dose: Take two drops from the stock bottle into a one-ounce dropper bottle (add brandy or another alcohol if this bottle will be used for days or weeks). This is the dosage bottle; take a few drops straight into the mouth or as needed in a

little water or juice.

HOMEOPATHIC

The remedy Aspen belongs to the group of "For Those who have Fear," as determined by Bach. The other fear remedies are Rock Rose, Mimulus, Cherry Plum, and Red Chestnut.

Aspen can greatly benefit those unable to fall asleep due to their fears of letting go. Sleeping disorders and insomnia due to nightmares of an eerie, haunting kind.

Foreboding and anxious disquiet in mind and body. In panic disorders, when no apparent reason can be given for the attacks (Cher-p-b, Rock Rose). Anxiety attacks marked by the typical, vague fears with shaking and trembling. Anxiety about death. Mental and emotional withdrawal. Dejected or haunted in appearance.

MIND

In the Aspen state, the mind is overly receptive and too easily impressed. Primordial fears and feelings of doom. Delusions, superstitions, omens, fateful encounters, prophecies, and ghost stories.

Some people develop personal rituals to establish a sense of protection.

Forebodings are vague and may be solely imaginary. Intuitive, spiritual, or psychic paths of personal development may lead people into the Aspen state. Aspen is indicated in tales of fearful delusions and paranoia when fears are based on imaginary content with haunting features.
