White Chestnut Bach Flower Essence
White Chestnut people are the over-thinkers, the people who torment themselves with thoughts of what if? Why did I? Why didn’t I? Why did they/he/she etc. They can’t shake off intrusive, unwanted thoughts, they just go around and around causing sleepless nights which leaves them waking up in the morning feeling exhausted. They become irritable and make mistakes due to lack of sleep and being preoccupied with these thoughts that just won’t switch off. This can affect physical and emotional well-being.
White Chestnut Bach flower essence helps to bring peace of mind and stops the intrusive, unwanted thoughts from taking hold. Calm, rational thinking replaces the overthinking and sleep is restored aiding physical and emotional recovery.

DOSAGE
DROPS
4 drops x 4 times per day preferably on an empty stomach.
Using a dropper to put the drops straight on or under the tongue.
Hold in the mouth for a few seconds before swallowing for maximum benefit.
Try not to let the dropper touch the tongue as this will transfer digestive enzymes back into the bottle.
If the symptoms are particularly acute you can increase the dosage to 4 drops every 10 – 30 minutes until you notice the symptoms improving.
Can be taken as often as it feels necessary but a minimum of 4 times per day to start feeling the benefits.
Alternatively, in acute cases you can add 2 drops to a drink, such as water or juice and sip frequently refilling as needed.
Note: Safe to use for babies, simply add the drops into the baby’s bottle.
SIDE EFFECTS
It’s very rare for Flower Remedies to have any side effects, however in rare cases people can experience what is known as 'aggravation', this is simply that the original symptoms are temporarily intensified and you may feel worse for a short period of time before you start to notice benefits.
