Wild Rose : Properties and benefits

Wild Rose is ” a passive passenger of life ” as Dr. Edward Bach ; in fact he is an apathetic type who superficially adapts to situations he does not like; he never complains, he does not complain and does nothing to get better. They are characters totally absent of motivation, which give up life, there is a surrender to existence, they don’t even try to fight, they are passive and that’s it. Often in trying they are easily disappointed and for fear of suffering they do not perform actions.

Dr. Edward Bach describes this typology as follows: ” … for those who, without seemingly sufficient reason, resign themselves to everything that happens, and thus slip through life taking things as they are, without making any effort to improve or to find some ‘of joy. They surrendered to the adversities of life without complaining about it… ”.

Obviously Wild Rose people even when faced with illness or change do not have the strength to face the situation.

Wild Rose offers the possibility to get out of one’s torpor with renewed enthusiasm, rediscovering daily enthusiasm; therefore there is more energy to face life and live, removing oneself from a situation of paralyzing indifference.

• Initial-inhibited emotions (before taking the flower):

 Resignation , existential apathy, indifference, boredom .

• Evolutionary-loose emotions (after taking the flower):

Motivation , enthusiasm , initiative, interest in life and an understanding of one’s responsibility. Every moment is a source of joy, and one freely draws on one’s inner strength. It reunites the soul to the body, restoring the interest and taste of life.
