This Falling Leaf Essence clears grief and sadness which has produced a particular state of mind and body. The mental state is looking back into the past and the physical state is of lowered energy and vitality as if in need of a tonic or a holiday. This essence releases the troublesome unresolved grief and sadness and restores focus on the present and goals for the future. It lifts the energy and enthusiasm for life.

Period of action: Two to sixteen days.

Relationship to the Bach Flower Remedy Honeysuckle: Honeysuckle helps the person who is backwards looking, stuck in the past or a romanticised version thereof, and who lives in their memories. Honeysuckle restores a focus on the present, enabling the person to get things done and move on with life. Falling Leaf Linden (Tilia x europea) goes further in clearing the grief and sadness which underlies this preoccupation of the mind with the past. This produces a more permanent and lasting switch of focus to the present time with energy, application and forward vision.
