Rock Water Bach Flower Remedy

Description

Rock Water is the remedy for hardness towards yourself. High ideals, strict routines, and a refusal of ordinary pleasures — not to impress anyone, but because anything less feels like failure.

What Rock Water Is For

This remedy suits rigid self-discipline. The person sets demanding rules for their own diet, work, exercise or conduct and treats any lapse as a moral failing. Unusually, they rarely impose these standards on others — the severity is turned inward.

Where the same rigidity is directed outward at other people, Beech is the closer match.

The Emotional Picture

There is often a wish to set an example. Rock Water types can be admirable and quietly joyless, having pruned away spontaneity in service of an ideal. They may not recognise the state as a problem at all.

The Positive State

Rock Water supports flexibility — holding your principles while allowing yourself to be human, and letting ideals guide rather than govern.

How to Use

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

Combining With Other Remedies

Rock Water combines with Pine where lapses bring guilt, with Crab Apple where perfectionism attaches to the body, and with Vervain where strong principles are also pressed on others.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will it reduce my discipline?

No. The aim is flexibility around your standards, not abandonment of them.

How is it different from Beech?

Rock Water is strict with itself. Beech is intolerant of others.
