Impatiens Bach Flower Remedy

Description

Impatiens is the remedy for people who move faster than the world around them. You finish other people’s sentences, take over tasks because explaining takes longer, and feel a constant low hum of irritation at queues, slow talkers and traffic.

What Impatiens Is For

This remedy suits impatience and the tension that comes with it. The person is usually quick, capable and independent, preferring to work alone because collaboration slows them down. Irritation flares quickly and passes quickly, often leaving them apologetic.

Impatiens is one of the five flowers in the well-known emergency combination, where it addresses agitation.

The Emotional Picture

There is often physical tension — jaw, shoulders, hands. People in this state may eat quickly, walk quickly and interrupt without meaning to. They are rarely unkind, simply in a hurry. The cost is usually to their own nervous system rather than to others.

The Positive State

Impatiens supports patience and ease of pace — retaining the quickness while losing the tension that goes with it.

How to Use

Take two pills four times a day, at least two hours apart. It is also available in our Rescue Remedy combination. No age restriction.

Combining With Other Remedies

Impatiens pairs with Beech where impatience has become criticism, with Vervain where over-effort is involved, and with White Chestnut where a busy mind accompanies the busy pace.

Frequently Asked Questions
