Elm

Elm can be found in the forest or standing alone, sometimes in hedges. The tree with the strong trunk (= strength) and the fine branches (= sensitivity) grows up to 25 meters high. The leaves are hairy and toothed. Elm flowers very early in February and March. The tiny flowers are green with a red edge. Flowers and fruit appear before the leaves sprout.

The Bach flower essence Elm promotes and supports our sense of responsibility in situations in which we feel overwhelmed. Elm gives us the strength to accept things courageously and to get through them. Dr. Edward Bach: "Life does not demand unimaginable sacrifices from us. It demands that we make our journey through life with joy in our hearts, to be a blessing to our fellow human beings, so that we leave the world a little better after our visit."

Physical essence effect: People who feel overwhelmed are often drawn to the strengthening Elm essence. It is helpful if you tend to have "weak knees", blackouts and crying fits, and it relieves the feeling of powerlessness and exhaustion. Elm essence can also provide natural help for other physical problems that can arise due to too much responsibility. It helps to strengthen us from the ground up, to energetically activate our immune system and to resolve deficiencies.

Emotional: When Elm is deficient, you feel insecure and afraid of failure. The feeling of inability and inadequacy can suddenly overwhelm you. Nevertheless, your self-expectations are high and you put yourself under pressure to perform and constant stress. In such difficult and arduous situations, the Elm essence provides new vitality and performance. It helps you to take on the responsibility you have taken on with more ease.

Mental: The Elm essence conveys self-confidence and inner security. We can center our thoughts in order to use our powers at the right moment. But we are also able to let go mentally in order to draw new strength from this release and plan our actions with a cool head. The Elm essence strengthens the ability to hold back, not to burden ourselves with everything and to set priorities. You accept the limits of your own performance, allow yourself rest breaks in order to regenerate again and again. The essence helps those in positions of professional responsibility to be secure, reliable, have an altruistic attitude and improve leadership qualities. The essence has a stabilizing effect on those with wanderlust.

Spiritual: In times of great stress, the Elm essence helps us to find ourselves and our spiritual strength again. For example, in meditation with the Elm essence we can refill our "energy reserves" and find a clear direction as to what to do next.

Children: The Elm essence helps children who have little confidence in their own performance in school work and exams. During exams, a bottle of Elm carried in the pocket or held in difficult situations provides strength.

Animals: When suffering from Elm deficiency, animals insist on wanting everything to be perfect - the food, the blanket, the run. If this is not the case, they refuse food, pull on the blanket, etc. The Elm essence has a harmonizing effect on these signs of instability and insecurity in the animal. It also helps when the animal has to cope with a change of owner.

Corresponding gemstones: coral, apatite.

Affirmation: I listen to my inner advice and have the strength to fulfill my task at the right time.
