PUUR floor 2
PUUR
First, I want to mention that it was not me but Micha, my son, who created this remedy.
Over the years, he too has created very special remedies, such as the Seven Essentials. I will come back to this later when these remedies are described.
I have also mentioned several times, that once I have described all the remedies, I will describe the "consistency" of the remedies.
And yet, with the remedy Pure, I already want to give a small description of how this state of mind came about.
As a young person, if you allow the wishes of your environment to prevail, so around puberty, you do not develop your own identity but allow yourself to be led too much by the "environment".
By environment, I mean parents and family, school, friends.
In my practice, when someone says they were always so sweet and accommodating when they were young, I think: What a shame.
In adolescence, you push your limits...whatever that means.
But when you don't "do your own" things, but out of love or whatever, put the wishes of e.g. your parents ahead of your own, an insecurity arises.
Of course, you don't like this uncertainty either and once...in the course of your life...you decide, consciously or unconsciously, to go about it a certain way. Whatever that may be for you. This causes you to make decisions you don't want to deviate from and creates the negative state of mind of Pure.
You decide to organise your life according to your moral or ideal representations. Because you make decisions only on rational grounds, you displace emotions more and more.
The result is an emotional hardening, you repress your feelings of lust and no longer really enjoy life.
You impose many do's and don'ts on yourself and others.
As progressive emotional hardening occurs, it can also eventually lead to physical hardening symptoms, such as joint stiffness or hardening of blood vessels.
You often see this state of mind develop in smaller children who come from single-parent families. I do not mean by this that a one-parent family would not be good, no.....you often see these children take on the role of the missing parent out of love for the parent they live with.
These children feel good when they know the day's structure. When they know how the day is going to go. This makes them feel secure.
Those, who benefit from Pure, are often not aware how strict they are on themselves and actually want to prove something to others/the outside world. Hence, they also prefer to be perfect in everything.
To an employer, these are obviously great employees because they want and will show that they are the best.
Because they suppress their lust principles, a total loss of their joy in life ensues, which in turn fosters bitterness (because they are a slave to their own decision) and life becomes top-heavy.
It is hard for these people to see that by this attitude to life, their rigid ideas, they are only making life more difficult for them. By thinking of ending forever with a single final decision, they also deprive themselves of the chance to use their own free will. So instead of freeing themselves from the "torment of choice", they have thus become a slave to their own decision, which they can hardly go back on. The word "MUST" AND "ONE SHOULD" is on the first page of their dictionary.
Just look at the prevailing views on health, physical beauty, at gyms. You have to conform to the prevailing beauty ideal.
Of course it is important to live a healthy life, see your own body as your temple, do exercise, but how healthy is it not if you are satisfied and happy with yourself as you are!
Also in the so-called New Age movement, you see a tendency to think that you can force your spiritual growth and development by certain precepts, e.g. diet, exercises and meditation, or by withdrawing from social life, and that this way of life guarantees and is an expression of a higher level of consciousness. However, this only works if it happens from a strongly felt inner need and not as an externally imposed rule of life. After all, you are not necessarily in a higher degree of soul consciousness by strictly following those particular precepts than someone who is not involved in this at all, but enjoys all facets of life. Spiritual growth is promoted only by being natural as much as possible, learning to be yourself, whatever that may mean to you, and fulfilling your own life task to the best of your ability. It is not what you manifest externally that counts, but what you manifest from within yourself, grown through insight and awareness. Not what you do, but who you are indicates true spirituality. It is not about form but essence. That means you can be flexible with ideas, ideals, rules of life and adapt them to what is needed and necessary for your soul. You no longer cling so rigidly to your ideas. So in the positive state of mind, you are able to take new steps.
A lot is written about the discoverer of Bach remedies, Dr.Bach, and sometimes he is portrayed as a kind of saint. Dr Bach was a notorious smoker and drinker, someone, who enjoyed life very much alongside all his hard work. A Pure person will be very disappointed in this, for others this will only encourage them that Bach, very gifted and spiritually developed, turned out to be just an ordinary person.
I will never forget the story of a lady, who came to me because she had a huge itch on top of her head under the skull roof. As she told myself. She had had all kinds of tests, she was afraid of a brain tumour. All investigations showed that there was nothing physically wrong.
She told me she had a wonderful family. A lovely husband, three wonderful sons, all three still living at home aged 31 to 38. She took care of everything. All three sons had good jobs. Came home for dinner after work, all together, then went to the gym and of course the mother took care of all the laundry every day including the sportswear. She was very proud of this and "people" could see how well everything worked in her home.
Well, you will understand that when we started working with the remedies and she left more to her sons (which was not without a struggle, because gradually they also had to do all kinds of things in the household, such as washing their own wet, sweaty sports clothes themselves) she got rid of the itch on her head and started enjoying life a bit more herself.
PUUR for:
- A child who gets only a seven is constantly on his toes and puts enormous pressure on himself
- Man whose strict beliefs completely disregard his own needs and teachings
- The top athlete who only lives for his sport, tight training schedule and does not allow himself any freedom at all to deviate from this once in a while
- The sick person who adheres so strictly to the doctor's advice that no progress is made at all
- One who cannot adapt flexibly to a change in a situation and becomes upset as a result

Pure
For the negative mood remedy Pure (which is not made from a blossom but from a glacier), high on the list is the word
As it happens, you are a perfectionist and you think there is nothing wrong with that. But meanwhile, you suffer from high ideals for which you sacrifice your health if necessary. You behave like a runner who has to improve an unattainable record so that the unattainable is achieved after all. You think you can enjoy yourself only when your performance is perfect, and because such a feat never succeeds, you feel permanently unhappy.
Actually, you just want to prove to the other person how good you are. As a result, you become a slave to yourself (your own standards and values).
Even in certain social movements, you see a tendency to think that you can force your spiritual growth and development by certain living regimesels, e.g. diet, exercises and meditation, or by withdrawing from social life. It is assumed that this lifestyle guarantees and expresses a higher level of consciousness. Spiritual growth, however, is only promoted by being natural as much as possible, learning to be yourself, whatever that may mean to you, and trying to fulfil your own life task to the best of your ability. Any suppression of lustful feelings that may arise due to these beliefs may lead to a total loss of joy in life and make life top-heavy for you.
Haughty behaviour also occurs among these people. They shake their heads pityingly in a discussion and think to themselves, Good thing I know it all better.
This pattern of behaviour occurs in people with immensely strong duty behaviour and with thoughts of how things are supposed to be.
You also see this state of mind in children. When they get a seven or eight in school, they are not happy about it. It should have been at least a nine.
Understanding that life is and will remain imperfect is the first step to relaxing and letting go of your perfection compulsion or that of your parents.
The remedy ensures that these rigid and often tiresome thoughts slowly disappear from the person's daily life.
The remedy Pure has a relationship with the gallbladder meridian so with the organ Gallbladder.
Physically, we often see this manifest itself in complaints in the right knee.

Motherwort - Tanacetum parthenium
Everything used to be better.
Motherhood people live more in the past than in the present.
They live with thinking and feeling in the past, while their bodies are in the present. As a result of this 'split personality', they may use only a fraction of their mental potential.
While daydreaming, they prefer to indulge in fine experiences. This makes it difficult for them to concentrate on their work, as their thoughts keep wandering to "those good old days".
This can create frustration or even anger about living in the here and now.
Daydreaming relies on an actual lived event.
At first, the symptoms do not seem so dramatic, however, your consciousness may often dwell in the past so that you cannot find your way in the present. Your gaze is regularly directed backwards, the future offers no perspective and you become numb emotionally. You behave like a phantom, which may be there but does not really take part in life desiringly.
It may be that you grieve over missed opportunities in life and have unfulfilled desires and expectations, or wistfully observe that one has done things the way one has done them. And that if given the chance, you would have done certain things in your life differently.
These emotions can also arise after a move, when you lose a loved one, the children leave the door (empty nest syndrome), after a divorce from a partner you are not yet detached from, or upon retirement.
A characteristic can also be you almost only want to listen to music from a certain period.
But what can also happen, seemingly out of the blue: You have had a wonderful holiday and coming home you feel miserable. You wonder what's wrong. After such a wonderful holiday, shouldn't you feel fine and full of energy? Most likely, you have only homesick for the holidays.
The flower remedy Mayflower has a relationship with the lung meridian so with the organ Lung.
Physically, this can manifest itself in having stitches in the left breast area, that your bra feels too tight, you experience a feeling of nausea. In addition, it can manifest as feeling tired and drained and sadness.

Grace herb
Years ago, a plant suddenly appeared near my pond that I did not know about. Now that happens quite often. Many plants that I make remedies from come "just like that".
I just couldn't figure out which plant it was. Asked many people and no one knew. Finally, there was a "garden lady" under treatment with me for the remedies, I showed her the plant. She didn't know either. She took a sprig and after a short time, she informed me that this was Grace herb. She thought it was very special that this plant was growing at my pond's edge because it was a very rare plant, which naturally only grew in a few places in the Netherlands. That was mainly in Limburg along rivers and streams.
Now I have a beautiful garden and I live in the middle of a village. How did this plant come to me!
I did know immediately, if I were to make a remedy from this, what the plant would be for. Now it is absolutely not the case that I can then "just pick flowers" and make a remedy from this. No, it is not that simple. You are "invited" by the plant, you get permission from the plant when the time comes, to make a remedy from it.
What I got through from the plant was "grace to yourself and to others".
Seven years later, I read "something" similar in a book by Mellie Uyldert. Though in somewhat different terms and she writes about the tea you can make from it, but the remedy made from Grace herb also indicates this spectrum. Again, so special.
There is a woman, who has been suffering from anger, which has been inflicted on her, for years. She has developed a severe scoliosis at L2, L3 and L4. She walks quite crookedly. And she has been treated by the physiotherapist and an alternative Chinese masseur for a long time, but despite all that, she finds it difficult to do her hobby, golf, almost impossible.
It has been found that Grace herb works especially on this area of the body and the left back of the neck.
After about six months of taking Grace herb, among other things, she says she is amazed that she no longer feels any anger at all towards the people she was so angry with before and who hurt her to her soul over a long period of time. In fact, it leaves her cold. And a side effect, visible to all, she starts walking more and more upright and can play full golf again.
Another woman, working in a fashion shop, comes to me because she has a "kind" of rheumatism in her hands. She finds it increasingly difficult to hang clothes on hangers because her hands hurt so much and are crooked. This especially struck me because she has these beautifully manicured, neatly painted nails while my nails always look like someone, who works in construction. I am always busy in the garden and how I try....always covered in soil, then torn and dirty. Not lady-like.
I explained to her that I have nothing against rheumatism or rheumatism-like symptoms, but that it could be connected to deep-seated anger. No, she didn't recognise that. She was happy, had two wonderful children, both of whom were doing very well. Her husband had died six years ago and she was over that.
After being with me a few times, each time I went deeper into events in her life and suddenly she admitted, no matter how much she had loved her husband, she was actually so angry with him inside that he had "abandoned" her by dying when he couldn't do anything about it.
Well, with this we could move on.
Maybe six months later, I don't remember exactly, she had now accepted without resentment that her husband was gone, the symptoms on her hands were gone and she could just hang clothes on hangers again. And is she still doing so well. So nice when you have such results!!!!
A woman came to me who was angry, angry, angry. Her daughter had died because she had been hit by a drunk man. The woman had many vertical grooves on her face. At one point, her son came to me and said he could no longer bear to go out stealing with his mother (the mother had to). I was stunned, can you imagine? What turned out: she was so angry and so bitter that she had a right to steal because the "world" had treated her so unfairly because her daughter had died. The daughter looked exactly like Corrie Konings, who was also under treatment at the time. Since that mother just couldn't get over her daughter's grief and she was a big fan of Corrie Konings, I arranged with Corrie for her to come for a consultation after this lady had been there. They met here. Corrie Konings handled that so incredibly sweetly. They went together, with a picture of her daughter. That did her a lot of good. And after a long period, the stealing was over ( according to information from the son, who was so relieved about this) and the woman could live more at peace.
Such stories always stay with me. I am grateful to do such beautiful work!
Success is the result of positive thoughts. Failure is the result of negative thoughts.
Grace people always project the blame for their own misfortune onto others. As a result, they abdicate responsibility for their own fate. They refuse to see that they themselves have supplied the cause for effects, which they now complain about. It may also be that the reason for what went wrong has to do with excessive expectations and even an inability to come to terms with something that cannot be changed. This is when the negative really sets in, the seed of thoughts begins to sprout. You may even feel "comfortable" in the victim role. The feeling of being rejected is expressed in the sharply lowered corners of your mouth. So you look for the cause in the outside world. However, every experience in the outer world is a consequence of an inner thought-projection.
Those who feel victimised are bound to become victims too.
--- others are always to blame, sometimes even fate
--- embittered
" the oh, poor me"
why is this happening to me!
They often withdraw from life full of resentment and bitterness.
The theme of their lives then becomes "WHY DID I EARN THAT?".
Grace-people do not curse, but try to hurt with prickles, those they think are guilty, they take the aggression in themselves and that is directed against themselves as autoaggression
They feel like victims and always know how to find a victim for their misfortune, e.g. their parents or children, spouse, the in-laws or the neighbour or their boss and in extreme cases the whole society or even fate.
However, negativity may also be a person's basic attitude.
Grace herb really gives grace to yourself and/or others, preventing you from being blocked by anger or bitterness whatsoever. Those who use the remedy feel it as a huge release, as if there is a kind of general "grace". Problems are released more quickly, causing a kind of blanket to fall off you.

On the bottom right and left of the picture is Grace herb
Grace herb - Gratiola officinalis
The theme in your life may be: "WHY did I EARN THAT (accident)?"
Grace people feel victimised in life and always know how to find a scapegoat for their misfortune, e.g. parents or children, spouse, children-in-law or the neighbour, your boss and in extreme cases the whole society or even fate.
When the negative really occurs, the seed of thought sprouts. The feeling of being rejected is expressed in visibly-strongly lowered corners of the mouth. You look for the cause of this unhappiness in the outer world. However, every experience in the outer world is a consequence of an inner thought-projection.
The Grace Herb people cannot imagine others going through life happy and carefree.
The fact is that anyone who feels victimised is bound to be victimised. And because you feel victimised, you can use that as a general justification for yourself so you don't have to take responsibility for your own fate.
This is likely to make you withdraw from life full of resentment and bitterness.
This negative state of mind is often persistent. It does not manifest itself in violent tantrums, you do not swear, but you do try to hurt others with prickliness. Your feelings of hatred and bitterness and often powerless anger smoulder on under the skin.
And because you absorb this aggression so much into yourself, it eventually turns against yourself as autoaggression.
Since this state of mind is connected to the Stomach Meridian, this anger and bitterness may hit the joints and cause rheumatic complaints.
Physical other complaints/characteristics include: pain from the 1st to the 4th lumbar vertebrae, pimples and/or rashes around the mouth, complaints on the back of the left knee and the left side of the neck.
The blossom remedy Grace herb truly gives grace to yourself and/or others, preventing you from being blocked by anger or victimisation whatsoever.

The HORTENSIA-situation is characterised by searching and waiting for one's destiny and life, seemingly, collapses like a house of cards in which the main theme is: The recurring question of the meaning of life.
Because these people no longer see a purpose, they start experimenting, e.g. changing partners, professions, homes.
The negative Hortensia state often used to appear between the age of 40 and 50. The inner void that arose then could seemingly no longer be filled by anything.
It was called mid-life crises!!!!!
However, nowadays you see that this state of mind arises earlier and earlier in the lives of people and even children.
You see in men ( although it is increasingly common in women too), that during the "purposelessness" phase of their lives, they react to their frustrations and dissatisfaction with increasing intensity.
When they take stock of their lives, they often find that they can no longer push away the feeling of doubt and uncertainty.
"Is this what I have achieved my life? Is this quite it? Do I want to continue like this for the rest of my life?
One then falls in love with younger partners, because youth always has the future!!!
You used to see homosexuality actually rising during this period (of the mid-life crisis). So: Homosexual you can become! These completely untrue, incorrect opinions/ideas were "common" back then.
However, it turned out that the sexual orientation had been suppressed by the then prevailing values and norms for all those years.
Just now, thankfully, how many women/men dare/can come out that they are lesbian/homosexual/transgender.
In my opinion, the explanation lies in the fact that it is simply not so easy to "follow your own path". You may or may not be married, have your own house, "with a mortgage", children and many obligations.
You are supposed to have a career. This, unfortunately, still applies more to men than women. But women are also coming under increasing pressure. Although women still live more from their intuition than men (oops), their lives will only get tougher too. Must women not only have a family, be the perfect cook, nurse, mistress, girlfriend, cleaning lady and combine their careers but also do it all absolutely perfectly?
Unfortunately for women, combining all this is still very difficult, as they often lack the financial ability to take on someone in the household, so that you have more time for your career and you could give more of the time you would otherwise have to spend on your household to your children, friends and family etc.
In this negative state of mind, people often have to conclude, that everything has not brought great fulfilment and they often say:
I often feel a sense of inner emptiness and am constantly searching for something that fulfils me internally.
I don't like anything because I don't know what I actually want.
I have no purpose in my life.
I don't see the point of what I am doing at any given time.
I am very dissatisfied because I have the wrong profession. I would rather do something else, but I don't know what.
I am very dissatisfied at the moment because I don't see a goal in front of me.
Everything is equally drab.
I am waiting for one and all, but it is not coming.
I can't really be happy anymore because everything that happens around me is so uninteresting.
Anyway, in the end, those who have been quite able to develop their lives from their own souls will not feel so much pressure from within to change their lives during this period of their lives.
When people, who come to me, cannot clearly indicate this state of mind as a result of the interview, I often ask if they sometimes feel like they have a tangle of spaghetti in their head. This is often a clue for me to Hortensia's negative state of mind.
For a while, I had the opportunity to coach some players from a very well-known football team. Well, not because they couldn't play football......there are no remedies for that, hahaha...just kidding (though??). No, they had all lost their way despite all they had in terms of financial wealth.
All turned out well for them.
A few more cries regarding hydrangea:
aimless,
the eternal seeker,
has tried a lot, but has yet to find the right one,
12 trades, 13 accidents,
frequently changes work, partner, home,
starts a lot without finishing it because he finds no fulfilment anywhere,
life is monotonous because they do not see the point of all they do.
CHILDREN:
Children who watch too much T.V., play on their iPads or computers are also at risk of falling into this state of mind and why is that:
These children identify with their "hero" from the games they play or with the "hero" from t.v. programmes.
Passive observation often prevents them from discovering anything interesting to them in real life and, as a result, they are unable to develop their own personalities
As a result:
They do not know what to do with their free time and constantly complain that they are bored, leading to dissatisfaction and frustration
They don't know what to do and just hang around all day.
They can start with many things but don't really like anything and are then always looking for something new
They then begin something completely listless, then this then that again, but nothing seems to really bring joy.
They are constantly dissatisfied but take no action to change the situation. Trying to motivate them, but they are often told, "well that's no use anyway".
Since they lack any enthusiasm to start anything, they prefer to sit in front of the TV all day, even when the weather is nice
For example, if you go to a shoe shop (which they already don't want to do) and they can choose shoes, they absolutely don't know which one to choose. They would prefer to take all the shoes just to avoid having to choose
These children may often have reading or numeracy problems
At school, they find it only annoying because ostensibly the material being offered too big and cluttered is.
The flower of the Hydrangea is made up of all kinds of small flowers, which form one whole. You could say the Hydrangea looks like brains (at least I think so).
By the learning results that come after taking these remedies, it seems that the flower remedy connects the left and right hemispheres of the brain. It appears that through the flower remedy Hydrangea, children are much more easily able to learn, both maths and language and also children do their homework more easily and with more dedication.
Summary: Better concentration, easier learning, short-term memory improves.
But also "just" for children and young adults who struggle with concentration, learning the subject matter, getting better at maths and understanding language more easily!
It seems that the flower remedy Hydrangea somehow connects the left and right hemispheres of the brain so that they "work together" better. So my suspicion is this flower remedy acts on the corpus callosum.
But I cannot, unfortunately, prove that yet.
Here are a few reports from therapists, to which I have added nothing:
Child 1
Busy, chaotic and in their own world. No message from the environment comes in anymore. Learning fails and contact with others fails. Sitting in compulsive negative thoughts and experiencing everything pessimistically.
Reed and hydrangea
Busy and chaotic behaviour calms down. Emotions become milder (light comes on) Pessimism disappears. Contact with the outside world returns.
Child 2
Does not come to learning. Gets very poor grades. But can do the level in terms of intelligence. Is withdrawn into his own world. Reacts with nonchalance. Makes little effort. Tries to learn but does not succeed or does not try hard enough.
Child has experienced severe separation from parents. These tensions still play a role. Many changes of residence between parents (almost daily)
Example 3 and 4 are from the same family.
Reed and hydrangea
Became more orderly, open and started doing homework better by himself. In addition, in the same week there were talks in which he was now open instead of nonchalant. Together with him, we decided to continue at school one level lower after the holidays. This has given him relief. Space returned to him. He did not have to take the drops at night. Then he couldn't sleep.
Child 3
Separation from parents with a lot of grief that came up especially in the evening.
Reed and hydrangea
Sadness became much less so she could just fall asleep.
Child 4
Has difficulty finding her own place. Can't sleep at night because she feels like she has forgotten something but doesn't know what. But does fear that this will cause something to go wrong the next day.
By drops:
Thoughts disappear and settle down. It allows her to fall asleep. No more feeling of overlooking something. Also wakes up the next morning feeling fitter and more fit.
Reed and Hortensia together work very nicely together (brother and sister) and have an even greater reach together.
What I notice is relaxation in emotional experience. Of any kind.
Information is not held back for processing by emotions but converted faster into execution, rest or reaction.
ANIMALS
I like it when I also get questions through the blog:
Below is a question about animals and my answer to it.
I can imagine, if animals are bored because the "owner" has no time, they get into such a state of mind. They need a challenge, attention and to know that they are important to you! I will give an example. Some time ago, someone came to me and she was looking after a horse that had been "stabled" for so long (I consider animal cruelty, by the way!) The horse is about 28 years old. The poor animal had lost all joy in life and I lovingly made a combination of remedies that included hydrangea. The person, who takes care of the horse (not the owner), also has a special bond with him. We are now quite some time on and it has become a happy, sprightly animal. And it is a male, though...now! He knows exactly what he wants. Well, isn't that something to be wonderfully happy about?

Hydrangea - Hydrangea macrophylla 'Teller' white
Give me work that suits me and I'll never have to work again (Confucius)
In my blog on Cucumberweed, I discussed that it is especially effective for stress symptoms. In that blog, I also promised to come back to Burnout and what it differs from stress.
As I wrote, a lot is put under the heading of stress; according to the latest figures from TNO and Statistics Netherlands, 1 million Dutch people have burnout symptoms (source: Fonds Psychische Gezondheid 2016).
Where stress is often caused by the huge pile of work placed on your plate from outside, the real, deep cause of a Burnout is insecurity. The lack of confidence in one's own ability to judge.
This is often pushed away and gradually the feeling comes, "Is this what I have achieved my life? Is this quite it? Do I want to continue like this for the rest of my life?
It is a phase of total disorientation, when we can no longer see and experience the mundane pleasures of life.
The following thoughts often come to mind:
"I am very dissatisfied because I have the wrong profession. I would rather do something else, but I don't know what.
I often have a feeling of inner emptiness, life seems aimless to me".
You find that life is monotonous because you don't see the point of all that you do.
And a new car or travel, parties, career, the latest fashion...nothing can actually make you happy.
Others could easily be ready with their judgment that you are spoilt. However, this is not the case.
The explanation lies in the fact that it is simply not so easy nowadays to "follow your own path". You may or may not be married, have your own house, with "mortgage", a job, children and many obligations.
All kinds of physical complaints are associated with this, such as vague symptoms, which cannot be fitted into any clinical picture: a nonspecific feeling of being unwell, the feeling of being ill without any particular concrete symptoms, infections that get stuck in the early stages. And above all, fatigue.
Low back pain starting at the level of the 4e lumbar vertebra and ends at the top of the sacrum are an additional indication about this state of mind.
The famous Burnout!
This state of mind used to occur mostly between the 40e and 50e year of life, also known as midlife crisis. Information from the GGZ shows that this is no longer true. For over three quarters of Dutch young people, burnout is imminent. (source: GGZ news)
With children, the flower remedy Hydrangea works on yet another level.
Children who have difficulties with reading or arithmetic benefit greatly from this. After a short time, reading levels improve, understanding of arithmetic improves and concentration improves.
The flower remedy Hydrangea has a relationship with the spleen/palate gland.

For a few years now, we have been present with our remedies on the "Flower Therapy World Day". We do this because we also teach about our remedies in Italy.
After this meeting, we went to the coast for a few days to recover a bit from the hectic days.
And so, sitting on the beach, I thought of an opportunity to make it easier for anyone without having a lot of knowledge of flower therapy, to do something themselves about certain negative moods without going directly into therapy.
And that is where the combinations were "born".
In my blogs, I first write about how remedies work and what each remedy does individually.
Once I have described these remedies, and I am far from done with that, I will start explaining bit by bit why certain moods arise and what relationship these moods have with each other.
In this way, it will become clear and you will gain insight into why one state of mind is related to other states of mind.
So....will be writing for a few more years.
And so too, later, I will describe the 12 combinations, in detail. Why they work, how each combination's relationship is with its associated meridians and organs.
I will also describe how meridians reciprocate and that emotional problems often manifest in the form of physical symptoms in the meridian linked to the opposite blossom track according to the Control Cycle of Chinese acupuncture theory.
I understand that the last sentence raises a lot of questions. And that is why it is important to first describe the remedies as well as possible and then go deeper.
In the last blog, I also wrote that the Basic Combination actually "taps" all the meridians, but does not resolve the actual cause.
I hope by the above it is a bit clear.
Below still in brief from the Basic combination does.
Madeleine Meuwessen
I don't call this remedy Basic Combination for nothing, it works on the basis of life that is under pressure for many people these days: all the busyness, all the demands placed on everyone inside and outside work, the hectic nature of these times in all its forms, the insecurity that this creates in some people, the stress it causes.
This remedy helps when all this becomes too much for you because basic security is no longer obvious, when you worry about tomorrow's day.
In this day and age, you are busy with all the social media and sometimes experience fear of missing things, which brings a constant feeling of restlessness.
When a "burn-out" is lurking, when you experience insomnia, lie sweating in your bed at night and feel a lot of tension, the Basic Combination ensures that peace comes into your whole system.
Basic Combination is called Basic Combination for a reason: it works on the feeling of being totally stuck and not knowing where to start, the basics of life.
It helps in restoring peace in your whole system, it helps in restoring the basics of life.
Not that it was the cause of all the problems solves, but you could say it "taps" all meridians without "resetting" them completely. For some people, tapping is enough to remind them again of how things were, for others it is enough to find the peace of mind to look at their situation of life and from there make choices again that fit them better. Sometimes it turns out that someone needs a bit more help to recover: that's where other blossoms may come into the picture to use.
You can take this flower remedy over a longer period of time.
