Cerato Bach Flower Remedy

Description

Cerato is the remedy for the person who already knows the answer and asks anyway. You have an instinct, you seek a second opinion, then a third, and end up following advice that suits you less well than your own first thought.

What Cerato Is For

This remedy suits chronic self-doubt about decisions. The knowledge is there — what is missing is trust in it. People in a Cerato state canvass opinions widely, change their minds under mild pressure, and often regret not having held their original position.

It differs from Scleranthus, which is indecision between two options with no outside consultation, and from Larch, where the person expects to fail rather than doubting their judgement.

The Emotional Picture

Cerato types are usually capable and well-informed, which is what makes the pattern frustrating for those around them. They may ask the same question of several people, or repeatedly seek reassurance about a decision already made. Underneath is a sense that other people must know better.

The Positive State

Cerato supports inner certainty — the ability to listen to advice, weigh it, and still act on your own judgement.

How to Use

Take two pills four times a day, with a minimum two-hour interval. No age restriction or dietary restriction.

Combining With Other Remedies

Cerato pairs with Larch where confidence is also low, with Scleranthus where decisions are hard in themselves, and with Walnut where other people’s opinions carry too much weight.

Frequently Asked Questions

How is Cerato different from Scleranthus?

Cerato asks other people. Scleranthus goes back and forth privately between two choices.

Can children take it?

Yes, and it is often chosen for children who constantly seek approval before acting.
