Willow (Bach Flower Remedy) is one of the 38 Bach Flower Remedies.

Bach flower remedies are selected based on the emotions a person is experiencing at the particular point in time at which he or she uses the remedies.

Willow may be appropriate when some or all of the following characteristics apply:

  • Gloom and despair associated with bitterness and resentment towards others

The willow Bach flower remedy is categorized in the 'despondency or despair' group of remedies, which also includes larch, pine, elm, star of Bethlehem, sweet chestnut, oak, and crab apple.

The key word to remember to summarize indications for the willow remedy is resentment.

Many books about Bach Flower Remedies suggest that most people can benefit from them at some times and/or during certain types of circumstances. The main question at any particular time is which of the remedies is appropriate for the specific person (or animal) at that time, remembering that the choice need not be of just one remedy. Although it is possible to use only one remedy at a time, a small group of remedies is often selected and used together.
