Fears can inhibit so much of our lives and can often be difficult to eradicate. They deny us much of our freedom and enjoyment of life. The intention behind this essence is to bring our fears out into the open where they can be seen for what they really are – “paper tigers” that looked ferocious when hidden in dark corners but in fact have no real power or substance. Deeply rooted fears can date back to childhood and so the Childhood essence can often help when given at the same time.

Stachys officinalis Betony is for unrecognizable fears, fears that can make us feel unloved, unwanted or unworthy. In extreme cases they can drive people to contemplate suicide. Betony helps us to see that such fears are groundless by shedding light in the dark places of the mind. In so doing it helps us to discover that inner treasure-house of the intuitive mind which all too often we have lost touch with.
