Bach Flower Elm

The Bach Flower Elm, has been used by practitioners to help people who feel over crumbed by problems, and who don’t feel they have the capacity to deal with them or with the responsibility they bring.

This is how Dr. Edward Bach described the purpose of Elm in his research:

"Those who are doing good work, are following the calling of their life and who hope to do something of importance, and this often for the benefit of humanity. At times there may be periods of depression when they feel that the task they have undertaken is too difficult, and not within the power of a human being."

The tree in which these flowers grow is the English Elm, a tree that can grow up to 130 feet.  There are many kinds of elm trees, so it is important to be able to tell them apart when it comes to elaborating this Bach Flower remedy. The flowers of this tree are red and blossom between February and April.
