Honeysuckle Bach Flower Remedy

Honeysuckle is the remedy for the pull of the past. Better days, a lost person, a place left behind — memory occupies more of your attention than what is actually in front of you.

What Honeysuckle Is For

This remedy suits nostalgia, homesickness and grief that has settled into a way of living. The person may speak often of how things used to be, or measure the present unfavourably against it. Ambition for the future is usually absent.

The Emotional Picture

There is often real sweetness in the state, which is why it persists. Honeysuckle types are not always unhappy — they are simply elsewhere. It is commonly chosen after bereavement, migration or retirement.

The Positive State

Honeysuckle supports engagement with the present — keeping the memory without living inside it.

How to Use

Take two pills four times a day, with a minimum interval of two hours between doses. There is no age restriction and no dietary restriction. Long-standing patterns are usually worked with over several weeks or months.

Combining With Other Remedies

Honeysuckle pairs with Walnut where a transition needs completing, with Star of Bethlehem where grief or shock is unresolved, and with Clematis where attention drifts from the present generally.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is it for grief?

It suits grief that has become a settled preoccupation. For the shock of loss itself, Star of Bethlehem is usually chosen.
