Centaury – Bach Flower Remedies

Centaury restores the qualities of inner strength & self-determination. Those in need of Centaury have a misplaced sense of service and believe that they must put others needs before their own. They appear to lack the will power to say ‘no’ and are easily dominated and open to being taken advantage of by those with stronger personalities. As a consequence they often wear themselves out in service to others and do not develop their own individuality or creativity. Those in the negative Centaury state are often seen as being ‘a doormat for others’.

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 of work,
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
The Latin Name for Centaury is:- Centaurium Erythraea
