Chestnut Bud is for those who have difficulty in learning from their mishaps, finding it necessary to have the same experience several times before accepting it. This remedy helps such people to be aware of the consequences of their previous actions and, with this larger viewpoint, to make more informed choices.
Ainsworths Statement "We take considerable care to produce flower remedies which are prepared and made in accordance with the clearly presented methods of Dr. Bach who made it very clear and, indeed, stated emphatically that the flower remedies were not homoeopathic preparations. Therefore, our essences are preserved only in brandy, at a 1:240 dilution of flower essence, closely following his original instructions. Consequently, they contain 417 times more flower essence than those made by 5x homoeopathic dilution."
Using a single remedy: Take 2 drops directly on tongue or add to a glass of water and sip at intervals throughout the day. Repeat as needed, and can be taken throughout the day.
Using multiple remedies: Add 2 drops of each remedy (up to a maximum of 7) to a 30ml mixing bottle containing mineral spring water. Take 4 drops a minimum of 4 times a day. A teaspoon of cider vinegar, glycerin, or brandy may be added to your personal blend as a preservative.
