BACH FLOWER REMEDIES: VERVAIN REMEDY – RECOMMENDATION FOR GIVING

Thus Vervain remedy brings orderliness in enthusiasm.
It is a routine remedy given for mental tension of any type.
In order to choose the correct remedy for ‘SLEEPLESSNESS’ in Bach Flower remedies remember: ‘VERVAIN’ is suitable in a case where the mind is always busy, day and night, thinking about work—his various schemes, both finished and unfinished and schemes yet to be started.
It is for a mind which is always preoccupied and over-enthusiastic of his schemes which keep him awake at night.
‘RED CHESTNUT’ is called for when the fear and solicitude for the welfare of a loved one prevents sleep.
‘WHITE CHEST NUT’ is useful when the mind is unable to get rid of any idea – when the same idea goes on circulating in the mind day and night.
‘SCLERANTHUS’ sleeplessness is caused by diverse ideas in a grass-hopper mind. Various ideas unrelated to each other keep the mind puzzled and awake during night.
‘CHERRY PLUM’ is the remedy for sleeplessness due to unbearable pain whether physical or mental or some unbearable sensation i.e. frequent urination or frequent thirst during night which keeps him awake for most part of the night. ‘MIMULUS’ would cover the sleeplessness due to fear of anything—fear of loneliness, fear of darkness, fear of dacoits etc.
For mental tension although Vervain is given as a routine remedy, it should not be taken as a panacea for all types of mental tension.
‘VERVAIN’ would be useful if the cause of the mental tension is over-enthusiasm, overwork, and a constant attachment to work without rest or respite.
‘MIMULUS’ would have to be called for, if the cause of mental tension is fear of some coming event i.e. an impending court decision of an important matter, an examination, the biopsy report of a swollen gland etc. ‘HOLLY is required if the cause of mental tension is jealousy; envy; hatred or suspicion. “IMPATIENCE” only could relieve extreme tension in a person who is temperamentally irritable and impatient.
