Cerato Flower Remedy – Trust
Cerato is one of the 38 Bach Flower Remedies. Discovered by Dr Edward Bach in the 1930’s the Bach Flower Remedies are simple, natural and gentle acting remedies which help you to balance your thought and emotions. They have an understandably enduring appeal and are still the most popular and well known flower essences around the world today.
Cerato helps you to know and trust your own innate inner wisdom and is a good remedy for those who have difficulty trusting in their own intuition or ‘inner voice’.
Cerato restores the qualities of inner certainty and wisdom
What Does Cerato Do?
Cerato restores the qualities of inner certainty and wisdom. Those in need of Cerato have difficulty trusting in their own intuition or ‘inner voice’. They appear to have an air of uncertainty around them and tend to seek the opinions of others when faced with decisions in their lives, rather than trust their own judgement.
Even when they have consulted with friends & colleagues they will still have great difficulty making a firm choice of direction causing themselves much confusion. The statement ‘I don’t know’ can often be heard from the lips of those in the negative Cerato state.
Cerato helps to create a bridge between the personality and the Soul restoring the ability to know and trust one’s own innate inner wisdom.

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.
Cerato is in Dr Bach’s – Uncertainty Group
Those who face life with uncertainty have somehow lost contact with their own intuitive knowing about what is right for them. The six remedies in this group express the different ways that this state can be experienced: Cerato, Gentian, Gorse, Hornbeam, Scleranthus, Wild Oat
The Cerato Flower
The Latin Name for Cerato is: Ceratostigma Willmottiana
Cerato is a small deciduous flowering plant which originally came from the Himalayas. It has a mass of deep blue flowers which create a most striking display which can almost obscure the small leaves.
Making the Cerato Remedy
Dr. Bach first discovered and made the Cerato remedy near Cromer, Norfolk, in August 1930. It is the only one of the first twelve flowers that he chose that didn’t grow wild in England, but was in fact native to Tibet. Dr. Bach found it growing in the garden of a big house in a neighbouring seaside village and was so struck by it’s beauty that he gained permission to pick a few of it’s blooms and make a remedy from them. He used the sun method of potentisation to make the Cerato remedy.
How To Use Cerato
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.
