Archetypal Flower Essences

Archetypal Essences do not work on the emotional level but on the unconscious level.
They are not prescribed according to a patient’s emotional needs but to the needs of his weak archetype within. If a client is anxious, a Bach Flower therapist might prescribe  Mimulus to assist him to find access to his inner courage.  In Archetypal Flower Essence therapy, we look for a basic weakness of an archetype that causes the symptom of ‘anxiety’.
Such archetypes can also be found in nature, and when we tap into the essence of the archetypal mother, we strengthen the mother within ourselves. This is the idea behind the archetypal essences.

The Greek God Apollo was a rather superficial character, charming, witty, popular, always on the bright side of life. He had frequent affairs, but just like his twin sister Artemis no solid and intense relationships.
This represents a quality that can help younger brothers and very sensitive souls in their evolution. Those who always dig deep and brood and are anxious miss the superficial gaiety of St. John's Wort. These Remedies stand for the older brother who has already passed several challenges, has won a few privileges, which the younger one can now benefit from. He is the trustee whom the younger brother may call to his aid ("Otherwise I'll get my big brother!"), who serves him well as a counsellor, especially when it is about the first experiences with girls. St. John's Wort strengthens the quality of the "inner big brother". You will find the support you would expect from him in yourself. This essence opens you up to the power of the sun.

The healer of the (inner) woman
Willowherb heals what you cannot see, what is hidden in the unconscious mind, what you cannot even remember. On the biological level, Willowherb heals destroyed links to Earth or Mother Earth. This essence is to emphasise the feminine character of our planet. After the 2nd World War, Willowherb was known as a "flower of the ruins" in Germany because it appeared among destroyed houses and was able to blossom conspicuously. This essence is given whenever the internal female parts of the personality and the self-esteem have been traumatised. In Chinese medicine, it represents the central meridian or the conception meridian, which stores yin energy. It is effective by external and internal injuries and scarring, which can occur during childbirth or by an accident and which can significantly impair the energy influx in the meridians. These various physical injuries cause a lower energy supply, which makes previously strong and confident women anxious and helpless.
In nature, Willowherb is a pioneer plant, which is followed by Birch, another Yin plant, in the next growing season. In the treatment of traumatised women, Birch can be used in combination with and/or after Willowherb. This essence allows the healing to take place in the innermost core of the person. Self-esteem and confidence are restored. After that Pomegranate can complete the healing.

The healer of the inner male.
Broad-leaved Orchid works on the same level as Willowherb, but its energy is yang. Significantly, the large, round, brown spots on leaves remind anyone of scars from stubbed-out cigarettes. This plant looks as if it had been tortured - yet it stands upright and blooms beautifully. "Orchid", which is part of the botanical name of the plant family, means testicle, alluding to the shape of the roots.
This essence heals the wounds of the inner male and the masculine part of the personality, regardless of whether it is a man, a little boy or a woman who needs healing. The danger of damaging the male self-image is, of course, the greatest in childhood and adolescence. Boys, whose inner male was injured, often remain small and weak, if they do not fall into the other extreme and become very aggressive. Most of them, however, will belong to the ones who are bullied in the schoolyard. They feel so worthless that they may find the idea of ​​ever having a girlfriend completely absurd. Which girl would probably like to have a friend who is not in a position to defend himself? Weakness makes males unattractive.
These boys are not considered as manly. Worse, they are convinced that they do not deserve better, misfits that they are. They just do not know what it is like and feels like to be a man. But maybe they will find out, with some help, to get back into a (male) balance: Broad-leaved Orchid.
By keeping your feet firmly on the ground, this orchid essence permits you to soar to new spiritual heights in your mind. It assists astral travel while keeping us solidly grounded.

According to C.G.Jung, the mother is the most powerful of all archetypes. The mother has the power to give life. In the early history of mankind, the mother was the head of the family. Figures from the Stone Age show 90% females, some with pronounced female features; perhaps they were used as a symbol for the work of midwives. According to an old Germanic tradition Pear was the worry tree, to which one turned just as if it were a protective mother. It was the custom to plant a pear tree at the birth of a girl, which was watered with the first bathwater of the child.
Pear strengthens the maternal self-esteem, e.g. when doubts arise in pregnant women about their abilities to become mothers. If the mother archetype is unbalanced, a woman can suffer from self-doubt or cannot escape the power of her own overbearing mother. Motherhood is not only power and concern for the children, it also includes the ability to let go of the children the day they fledge. Pear supports mothers as well as daughters in dealing with all kinds of issues around motherhood.

in former times to fill pillows and thereby induce prophetic dreams. It is the plant of the night, of magic, dreams 
and inner harmony. Mugwort is closely related to the Greek goddess Artemis (in Rome: Diana), the goddess 
of hunting, the moon and the midwives. This plant represents a young, confident and independent woman who 
cuts her own path. From time to time she has a lover, but never builds up deep relationships. Artemis as (older)
