Aspen Flower Remedy – Feeling Safe
Aspen is one of the 38 Bach Flower Remedies.

They have an understandably enduring appeal and are still the most popular and well known flower essences around the world today.
Aspen helps those who experience anxiety for which there appears to be no logical reason
What Does Aspen Do?
Aspen helps those who experience anxiety for which there appears to be no logical reason. This can take the form of vague but potent apprehension of some unknown future event or an uneasy ‘spooked out’ feeling in the dark or in strange places. The creepy, shivery feeling that is sometimes described as ‘someone just walked over my grave’ expresses the Aspen fear of the spirit / psychic realms very well.
Shaking, trembling, or vague fluttering feelings in the tummy together with coldness, paleness & nightmares are all indications of the need for Aspen.
Dr Bach’s description of Aspen
"Vague unknown fears, for which there can be given no explanation, no reason. Yet the patient may be terrified of something terrible going to happen, he knows not what. These vague unexplainable fears may haunt by night or day. Sufferers often are afraid to tell their trouble to others."
From The Twelve Healers & Other Remedies – By Dr Edward Bach ( 1936 edition )

Dr. Bach’s Seven Main Groups
Dr. Bach divided his 38 Bach Flower Remedies into seven different personality groups; each group representing the differing ways a particular thought pattern or emotion could be seen and experienced in the personality.
Aspen is in Dr Bach’s – Fear Group
Fear is possibly the most common human emotion and affects most of us in some way or another. The five remedies in this group represent the different ways that fear can influence our behaviour. The Fear group remedies are: Aspen, Cherry Plum, Mimulus, Red Chestnut, Rock Rose
The Aspen Flower
The Latin Name for Aspen is: Populus Tremula
Aspen is a beautiful and slender tree with a canopy of shimmering leaves. It can grow up to 25 metres tall and the bark is often pitted with diamond-shaped pores. The male catkins and the smaller female catkins appear in March or April before the tree starts to flower.
"Trembling, fluttering and shimmering in the slightest breeze. The rippling leaves of this beautiful tree give it its name: quaking aspen". Woodland Trust
Making the Aspen Remedy
Aspen was one of the second nineteen remedies that Dr. Bach discovered. He first made it in 1935 around Sotwell in Oxfordshire and prepared it using the boiling method of potentisation. The discovery of these second nineteen remedies was done over a six month period and was different to the first nineteen in that for a few days before he discovered the remedy he suffered actuely from the state of mind for which that particular remedy was required.
How To Use Aspen
Our Bach Flower Remedies are stock level Essences which can be diluted into a treatment bottle as suggested by Dr Bach or used directly from stock if preferred. A treatment bottle can contain one single essence or a combination of up to eight different essences.
Making a Treatment Combination
Making a Bach Flower Remedy combination is simple and easy: put 2 drops from each of the Remedies you require (4 drops of Revival Remedy) into a clean glass dropper bottle containing up to 30ml of spring water (adding a teaspoon full of brandy or cider vinegar as a preservative if you wish). Alternatively you can put 4 drops of each remedy required (8 drops of Revival Remedy) into a glass of water. You can combine up to 8 of the Bach Remedies.
How to Use Your Combination
Using Your Combination: For a normal adult dosage take 4 drops on the tongue (or a sip from your glass of water) 8 x a day, or every 30 – 60 minutes for acute states. Using Directly From Stock: Take 2 drops on the tongue as above. Preferably take 10 minutes away from food and drink. We’d normally suggest using for two – four weeks before reviewing how you feel.
