Smile through the winter blues with Bach™ Original Flower Remedies
The clocks going back in October heralds the start of the dark commute as we leave our homes before sunrise and arrive home after dusk. Often it can feel like constant night as we miss the sunlight hours cooped up in a dingy office. With a lack lustre summer predicted, this winter is shaping up to be particularly bleak with not a lot of positive news to encourage smiles.
The ‘winter blues’ otherwise known as Seasonal Affective Disorder (or SAD) is caused by the shortening of daylight hours and the lack of sunlight in winter. It affects an estimated two million people across the UK each year between September and April[1]. Symptoms can leave us feeling lethargic, anxious and needing emotional support.
From the makers of Rescue Remedy®, Bach Original Flower Remedies are a system of 38 remedies which can help us rediscover the positive side of ourselves and lead emotionally healthy lives. They originate from the Bach Centre and are produced according to Dr Bach’s traditional methods, which date back over 75 years. Bach Original Flower Remedies are made from natural flower essences and are suitable for all the family.
So which of the 38 remedies could help?
- If you are feeling gloomy and can’t put your finger on why, add a few drops of Mustard to your water to help lift that dark cloud from above your head.
- If you have lost your drive and simply feel like you can’t be bothered, Wild Rose might help you find purpose.
- We all know what Monday mornings feel like, but if you are getting that feeling throughout the week, try Hornbeam.
Bach Original Flower Remedies cost from around £5.99 and are available from Holland & Barrett, Boots and most independent pharmacy and health food stores. For more information, visit www.bachremedies.co.uk. Always read the label.
