This blossom remedy helps if you find it hard to stop your thoughts. Thoughts that keep repeating themselveslen like a gramophone record whose needle is stuck in a groove. And it doesn't matter what kind of thoughts they are. It could very simply be a song you've heard and won't get out of your head all day. It can be thoughts about conversations you have to have the next day that you keep repeating and repeating. This can go on all night. You have no control over it, it stays busy in your head.
Coffee, tea and cola further reinforce these grinding thoughts and it is therefore advisable to avoid them in the evening. Because you can get to sleep so badly in the evening, you wake up tired again in the morning. As a result, you may have a dull, dazed feeling in your head and a feeling of physical weakness that may last all day. You may be unable to concentrate well during the day and this may make you seem forgetful.
The blossom remedy Houttuynnia Cordata makes you stop thinking compulsively. There will be peace in your mind. Your grinding thoughts go away and sleep disturbances will disappear.
The reason why I have chosen Houttuynnia Cordata in this edition , is because there is a difference in blossom remedies regarding grinding thoughts. With the flower remedy Star of Bethlehem, people also suffer from grinding thoughts. However, these are related to grief, shock and painful, sad emotions while with Houttuynnia Cordata, grinding can be about anything.
Cramps in the right calf and the outside of the left foot can also be an indication of Houttuynnia Cordata. It is possible to mix flower remedies with each other and for grinding thoughts, Houttuynnia Cordata and Star of Bethlehem is a fine combination. Both belong to the heart meridian.
I would like to tell you about the flower remedy Yarrow in the next blog.
