Theories/Speculation

Flower Remedies operate under the theory that physical and emotional afflictions are a result of energetic disharmony within the body. Each remedy carries its own vibration, which correlates with the vibration of a pathology.

Expert Insight

Dr. Edward Bach, who discovered the remedies, categorized Aspen as a remedy for "vague unknown fears, for which there can be given no explanation, no reason... These vague unexplainable fears may haunt by night or day." ("The Twelve Healers and Other Remedies"; Dr. Edward Bach; 1933.)

Features

These intensely felt anxieties have no discernible justification, but can be debilitating, often interfering with the functions of everyday life. Those needing Aspen are usually even afraid to voice their worries, anxious that something terrible will result.

Misconceptions

Mimulus, another remedy for fear, is sometimes mistakenly prescribed instead of Aspen. But Mimulus is better suited to those with named fears, such as fear of the dark or fear of thunder.

Dosage

Four drops of Aspen can be placed under the tongue every few hours, with additional doses when symptoms flare. Alternatively, remedies can be diluted in water, sipped slowly throughout the day.
