Star of Bethlehem flower essence
is a deeply restorative remedy, with calm, soothing properties for people who have experienced shock or trauma. It is particularly helpful for individuals who have never adequately addressed a disturbance from the past.

Such persons often seek to anesthetize this trauma in inappropriate ways, such as through drugs, occult ritual, or a numbing of awareness. There is a longing and seeking for a part of the Spiritual Self which seems inaccessible. The nervous system often becomes deadened, and the mental facilities are lacking in vibrancy and coherency. In some essential way, the personality is out of alignment with its higher components, and is stymied form full and vibrant functioning.

Star of Bethlehem flower essence helps bring about this much needed psychic and spiritual adjustment, although other therapeutic and counseling measures are often necessary to help the individual fully access the trauma and its causes. Star of Bethlehem flower essence is also one of the ingredients in the Rescue, Emergence Combination and Five-Flower Formula indicated by Dr. Bach for broad-based emergency and first aid use.

Component of Grounding Essence and Shock & Trauma Bailey Combination Formulas.

Star of Bethlehem is used as the basic shock essence, taking the initial negative reaction out of the system. This is vital in severe cases. When we are shocked the whole of the body’s nerve system is severely upset. The initial shock reaction affects all the cells in the body and completely disrupts the body’s energies. Indeed, people often die more from shock than they do from injury in severe accidents. Shock tends to make us detach and give up the will to live. Our Star of Bethlehem is made as a sun essence and it helps the mind to let go of the immediate traumatic experience. This is vital as it takes the sting out of the experience and so greatly reduces the body’s shock reaction. Wherever there is sudden shock, this is the essence of choice for use immediately after the experience.

This is the reason why Star of Bethlehem is included in the Shock & Trauma essence; it is the essential first aid part of the composite.
