Holly

Holly flower essence treats anger, jealousy, envy, rage and suspicion, which can be difficult patterns for people to see and accept in themselves. When I prescribe it I usually emphasise how it opens the heart to experience more love rather than telling someone they're evil! Truth is we're all human, and all human beings feel these things, however fleetingly. If we don't own these darker aspects of our personalities we can't transform them. Working with flower essences shines a light on the parts of us we may not want to look at.

Someone needing holly will find that their feelings are hurt easily because it's one of the Bach Flower Remedies that balances over-sensitivity. They will give into anger and rage and be defensive in emotional situations because they expect their feelings to get hurt.

If you're easily annoyed and react aggressively to others; feel bad-tempered and frustrated; are jealous and distrustful - suspecting people to have negative motivations; or frequently feel hurt and offended then holly will help.
