Centaury - Bach Flower Remedies
19th July , 2007
For those that can at times be weak willed or subservient… The Centaury remedy, helps you to develop a stronger will and greater sense of ourselves.
Centaury - Bach Flower Remedies
Unable to say “no”. Often taking on too much and tiring themselves out. A distorted view of service. Lacking willpower, the weak mind frequently resulting in a weak body. Folks needing Centaury often lack individuality, being so influenced by stronger personalities. This essence brings strength and the ability to say “no” without guilt, when necessary.
Dr Bach’s description of Centaury:-
“Kind, quiet, gentle people who are over-anxious to serve others.
They overtax their strength in their endeavours. Their wish so grows
upon them that they become more servants than willing helpers.
Their good nature leads them to do more than their own share ofwork,
and in so doing they may neglect their own particular missionin life.”
From the Twelve Healers & Other Remedies - By Dr Edward Bach ( 1936 edition )
Dr Bach placed Centaury in the Oversensitive to Influences and Ideas Group
How To Use:- To do this you can put 2 drops of each remedy required into a clean glass dropper bottle containing up to 30ml of spring or spa water, adding a teaspoon full of brandy or cider vinegar as a preservative. You can also put 4 drops into a glass of water and sip. We would recommend a dosage of 8 x a day for chronic states and every 30-60 minutes for acute states, reverting to the normal dosage when more balance has returned.

Ha, I almost laughed out loud reading this description - it is so me!!….. yet I also have the flip side - I can be quite argumentative and controlling. Will this help me with that also? I suppose it can be difficult to know when to draw the line sometimes, where you should stand your ground and say no.
It’s made a big difference in me. Since childhood I’ve been a “rescuer”, spending my energy on others, literally giving it away! Over the years (no prices for guessing!) this led me to a point of severe burnout. Since discovering flower essences a little more than a year ago, they have played an essential part in my life. Centaury has really helped me with setting healthy boundaries, knowing when and how to give and recognising when to hold back. I would just like to say, that if you recognise yourself as being too generous with your energy, please remember that helping yourself is just as important as helping others!
