Flower Remedies - (for Grief & Gloom, see below)
Helping the body heal can often be very frustrating. Years ago, a
physician/botanist, Edward Bach, pondered why some patients seemed not very
ill or weakened, and yet they did not respond as well to standard treatment
as was expected. It was as if they lacked the will to get better. Dr. Bach
successfully identified several emotional and psychological traits and
various plants that helped to alleviate these traits.
The use of flower remedies in animals is especially exciting. Unlike many
humans, animals never, ever doubt the true power of something simply because
they do not understand it, or how it works. They simply enjoy the support
they are provided with and the healing that may occur. Owners who choose to
use flower remedies to help alleviate a pet's stress, to aid in
rehabilitation or to be used in preventing disease, do appreciate the
subtleness of these wonderfully healing remedies. The result is often
remarkable.
Physical and emotional stress can severely cripple the immune system and the
body's ability to support itself. When this stress is reduced, the body often
responds much more quickly to whatever method is used and healing can be
easier on the pet. Remember that some of these descriptions make more sense
when applied to humans, you have to sometimes get a “sense” for the total
picture from their attitude or personality.

I will take one topic trait at a time and feature it here:
Grief & Gloom – If your pet displays these personality traits, he/she might
benefit from one of the remedies below
Gorse:
For deep-seated feelings of hopelessness and futility even when there is
relief. Helpful for those "rescued" pets.
Mustard:
For deep gloom that comes on suddenly and lifts just as suddenly. Melancholia
or sadness for no known reason. Unexplained withdrawal, especially when
"healthy".
Oak:
For those who struggle on, despite despondency from hardships, even when ill
or overworked. OAK personalities never give up or give in! Even to
exhaustion.
Olive:
For mental or physical exhaustion, when all reserves have been drained,
especially after a long illness or traumatic ordeal such as being rescued
from an abuser.
Star of Bethlehem:
For grief or loss. For the negative effects after physical and emotional
trauma. For bad experiences such as traumatic training, accidents, attacks.
Even years later!
Sweet Chestnut:
When the limits of physical or emotional endurance have been reached. For
moments of deep despair and anguish after a long illness, accident or death.
