Bach flower essences, including star of Bethlehem, gentian, and honeysuckle
Bach flower essences were developed by Edward Bach, MD, and can help a person’s emotional state when prescribed correctly. The star of Bethlehem essence is typically used to treat shock; gentian for melancholy, despondency, and depression; and honeysuckle for regrets.
The essences are prepared in a liquid that can be taken straight on the tongue or added to water and sipped throughout the day.
