Have you set your resolutions for 2018 but are already feeling a little frustrated about not being able to hit all the items on your New Year’s Eve wish list? Don’t let unexplained sadness take over! According to the floral therapist Marcia Rissato, from São Paulo, theBach flower will help you out of this. She suggests four essences and teaches you how to use them:

1. Mustard

Soothe melancholy and that sadness without a clear reason (the days will be more positive).

2. White Chestnut

It calms the mind and prevents you from suffering in anticipation when thinking about future goals (new job, here I come!).

3. chicory

It facilitates letting go of negative emotions (that relationship that didn’t work out) and habits that don’t deserve to be taken into the next year (goodbye, sedentary lifestyle!).

4. Holy

It helps you to accept what you would have liked to have done differently (wasn’t it this time you lost the weight you wanted? Head up and a new plan!).

How to use: drip 2 drops of the chosen essence – if you want, mix the four – in a bottle of water and drink throughout the day. Refill with water only (without replacing the remedies) before completely emptying the container. If you prefer, add the drops to the juice and drink it at once.
