{"product_id":"bach-original-flower-remedies-willow-20ml-liquid","title":"Bach Original Flower Remedies Willow 20ml  Liquid","description":"\u003cp\u003eResentment is one of the most quietly damaging of emotional states - a slow-burning bitterness that colours everything it touches and isolates the person who carries it from the ordinary pleasures and connections of life. Willow is the Bach Original Flower Remedy for resentment, self-pity, and the sense of grievance that comes from feeling unfairly treated by life.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eDr Bach described Willow as the remedy for those who have suffered adversity or misfortune and find themselves unable to accept their circumstances without resentment. They feel that life has treated them unfairly, that others have been luckier or more favoured, and that they do not deserve what has happened to them. There is often a quality of negativity about the world - a difficulty finding anything to appreciate or be grateful for - and relationships may suffer as the resentment colours interactions and makes warmth and generosity difficult to access.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eThe Grip of Grievance\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Willow state is one that most people will recognise in themselves at some point - after a run of bad luck, during periods of genuine unfairness, or in the wake of a disappointment that feels out of proportion to what was deserved. In its transient form, some degree of resentment is a normal human response. When it becomes chronic, however - when it settles into a permanent lens through which life is viewed - it becomes deeply limiting.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWillow is thought to support a release of this grip - not by denying the genuine unfairness that may have occurred, but by supporting the ability to relinquish the bitterness and return to greater engagement with life as it actually is. Many people find that as the resentment softens, a renewed sense of agency and possibility begins to emerge: the recognition that how they respond to what has happened is something they can choose.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eWillow and Related Remedies\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWillow shares territory with Holly (intense negative feelings towards others) and Pine (self-blame and guilt), and may be used alongside these when the full picture warrants it. It is also sometimes combined with Mustard (for depression) or Sweet Chestnut (for deeper suffering) when the resentment sits alongside a more profound unhappiness.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eBach 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eReleasing the Bitterness, Reclaiming Life\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWillow offers the possibility of putting down a weight that has been carried for too long - the weight of unfairness, of grievance, of the feeling that life owes more than it has given. What becomes possible when that weight is released is often surprising: a lightness, a gratitude, and a renewed appetite for the life that is actually available.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Bach Original Flower Remedies","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":58299278000515,"sku":"BCH38","price":9.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0965\/7191\/6675\/files\/BCH38_3c309487-fd76-4746-be64-2f976cc639fe.webp?v=1781955494","url":"https:\/\/zenhealthfoods.com\/products\/bach-original-flower-remedies-willow-20ml-liquid","provider":"Zen Health Foods","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
