Impatiens - 20ml

Impatiens

Impatience,

Helps you deal with slow situations or people with good humour rather than impatience or irritability.

As its name suggests, the remedy against impatience and against frustration and irritability caused by impatience. Anyone can get into this state of mind, but there are also genuine Impatiens types, who live life at a rush and hate being held back by more methodical people. To avoid this irritation they try if possible to work alone: the Impatiens boss is the one who sends staff home early so she can get the job finished quicker!

The remedy helps these people be less hasty and more relaxed and patient with others. It is also an ingredient in the composite Rescue Remedy, where it is used to help calm agitated thoughts and feelings.

Dr Bach's description

Those who are quick in thought and action and who wish all things to be done without hesitation or delay. When ill they are anxious for a hasty recovery. They find it very difficult to be patient with people who are slow, as they consider it wrong and a waste of time, and they will endeavour to make such people quicker in all ways. They often prefer to work and think alone, so that they can do everything at their own speed.

About Dr. Edward Bach

In 1934, Bach wrote the following concerning the way his Flower Remedies work:

"They cure, not by attacking the disease, but by flooding our bodies with the beautiful vibrations of our Higher Nature, in the presence of which, disease melts away as snow in the sunshine. There is no true healing unless there is a change in outlook, peace of mind and inner happiness."

Dr. Edward Bach, was a Harley Street Physician, who also studied bacteriology, immunology and homeopathy during his career. He realized that people reacted differently to illness, so he wanted to treat the person as a whole rather than what they were suffering from. Dr Bach became dissatisfied with orthodox medicine and was convinced there must be a system of healing based purely in nature. In the late 1920s he gave up his lucrative Harley Street Practice and spent many years searching for and developing his new system from non-poisonous plants and flowers.

Dr. Bach moved to Sotwell in Oxfordshire in 1934, where he lived in a small house there called Mount Vernon. It is there that he discovered the last 19 of 38 remedies in the garden and surrounding countryside. After the discovery of the 38 remedies, Dr. Bach announced his work was complete.

He died in 1936 knowing that he had completed his work by devising a simple self-help form of healing covering all aspects of human nature's moods.

Mount Vernon, is now the Bach Centre and his trustees still collect and prepare the plants for the mother tincture in the same simple way as Bach intended.

The Bach system is made up of 38 healing plants addressing the different states of mind. The remedies help the physical body to gain strength and assist the mind to become calm, widen its outlook and strive towards perfection, thus bringing peace and harmony to the whole personality.

Bach's Philosophy

• A healthy mind is the key to recovery, and the Bach Flower Remedies work by gently restoring balance to negative emotions.



• The key is to cure the personality, because different personality types react to illness in different ways and how they cope with it. The Flower Remedies deal with the personalities i.e. treating the patient and not the disease.



• Everyone had a purpose in life, but often got lost on the way. The Flower Remedies help us to become our true selves and that we will in turn rediscover our true purpose in life, health and true healing would then follow shortly.



• Dr. Bachintended the Bach Flower Remedies to be a simple self-help measure available to people from all walks of life.
