Flower Remedies For Later In Life
While undoubtedly a welcome relief for many, retirement can still be filled with difficulties and
challenges to maintaining a healthy and positive outlook—and just at the time our body would seem to
need it the most. It can be hard to adapt to a reduced income and unstructured free time, and both of
these things can make it easy to get into negative outlooks.
Since retirement is a major change, Walnut can help us settle into our new lifestyle without the past
getting in the way or new things diverting us off path. Wild oat is good for figuring out what to do that
is enjoyable and satisfying with our time and energy, so that we don’t feel like we’re missing out or doing
the wrong thing. Heather is good for if we end up feeling a bit stir crazy and just need to go out and be
around people. Mimulus is good for worries and fears of any sort—such as not having enough money,
fear of being injured, hurt, ageing, or being left on our own. Oak and Impatiens are good for going at a
safe and reasonable pace/workload so as not to overdo it and get hurt.
If you don’t feel up to task of taking care of yourself or others, Larch, Hornbeam, and Elm can be
helpful. Red Chestnut is good for when we’re excessively worried over someone’s health or expect them
only to get worse. For always thinking back on the past, to old memories or things we used to do, or
how things used to be, Honeysuckle helps restore our focus to the moment and feel excitement for what
is to come. It can also help for old ambitions or regrets that still come to mind and trouble us, as well.
Agrimony is useful for when we don’t feel right mentioning our problems or worries to others, and
because of that keep them bottled up and pretend everything is okay instead of getting the help we
might need.
For any lack of confidence that might arise, there is Larch, and for feelings of exhaustion or fatigue there
is Olive, Hornbeam, and Clematis. For grief or sadness at the loss of a loved one, there is Star of
Bethlehem. If we always want and need relatives or friends to visit—and feel slighted or rejected if they
don’t, as we’ve given them so much—Chicory can help eliminate these self-centered feelings so as to be
happy for them regardless.
For getting forgetful, any of the Insufficient Interest in Present Circumstance-category remedies might
be of use. Chestnut Bud would probably be the key one to consider, as it allows us to better
comprehend things and be observant and aware of our situation and surroundings, though Clematis
and Honeysuckle are often indicated too.
