Bach Original Flower Remedies Vervain 20ml Liquid

Passion and conviction are powerful forces for good - but when they become excessive, when the drive to persuade becomes relentless and the inner tension of holding such strong views can no longer be released, something needs to give. Vervain is the Bach Original Flower Remedy for those with an excess of this fiery energy: the strongly principled, deeply enthusiastic individual who pushes too hard, takes on too much, and finds it genuinely difficult to switch off and rest.

Dr Bach described the Vervain type as people of great will and fixed principles who believe with such passion in what they hold to be right that they feel compelled to convert others to their views. They throw themselves into causes, take on multiple commitments, and feel a moral urgency around the things they care about that can become exhausting - for themselves as much as for others. They find it very difficult to leave others to their own views and methods.

The Fire That Burns Too Hot

The qualities associated with Vervain - enthusiasm, conviction, principle, energy - are genuinely admirable in measured doses. The Vervain state is what happens when those qualities tip past balance into over-intensity. The body becomes tense with the effort of holding and expressing so much feeling and opinion; the mind races; sleep can be difficult because the inner fire doesn't know how to dampen down at night. Relationships may be strained by the relentlessness of the drive to be understood and agreed with.

Vervain is thought to support a quieter, more equitable inner state - helping to direct the considerable energy of the Vervain type more sustainably, with greater acceptance of others' right to find their own path and greater tolerance for the world's imperfect response to their ideals.

Harnessing Rather Than Being Driven By Passion

Vervain is often combined with Impatiens (for those who also struggle with the slowness of others) or Vine (when conviction shades into a desire to control). It is also relevant alongside Olive when the over-effort has resulted in depletion. The remedy is useful for activists, campaigners, and anyone in a role that requires intense advocacy who has begun to feel the physical and emotional cost of their commitment.

Bach Original Flower Remedies are prepared in England to the traditional methods established by Dr Bach. They are preserved in grape alcohol and have no known pharmaceutical interactions.

Passion With Peace

Vervain supports the channel of strong energy towards constructive ends without burning the channel itself. For those whose fire is both their gift and their challenge, this remedy offers the possibility of caring deeply and still finding rest.
