Red Chestnut Bach Flower Essence
Red Chestnut people are natural worries but this can easily spiral to become an irrational fear of something terrible happening to the peopleclose to them, they may be consumed with worry that they will have an accident or a minor illness will turn out to be a major illness or disease. They are constantly checking and fussing over their loved ones, which can over time become draining for those close to the Red Chestnut person, they need to be constantly reassured and their constant fussing and checking and re-checking can become overbearing and suffocating.
Red Chestnut Bach flower essence can help to overcome these irrational fears and replace the irrational thinking with calm, logical thinking and the ability to put their fears into perspective. This eases the burden on their relationships and enables them to be caring and nurturing in a positive way without the sense of anxiety overwhelming them.

Try not to let the dropper touch the tongue as this will transfer digestive enzymes back into the bottle.
If the symptoms are particularly acute you can increase the dosage to 4 drops every 10 – 30 minutes until you notice the symptoms improving.
Can be taken as often as it feels necessary but a minimum of 4 times per day to start feeling the benefits.
Alternatively, in acute cases you can add 2 drops to a drink, such as water or juice and sip frequently refilling as needed.
Note: Safe to use for babies, simply add the drops into the baby’s bottle.
SIDE EFFECTS
It’s very rare for Flower Remedies to have any side effects, however in rare cases people can experience what is known as 'aggravation', this is simply that the original symptoms are temporarily intensified and you may feel worse for a short period of time before you start to notice benefits.
