White Chestnut

(Aesculus hippocastanum)

White chestnut needs a lot of light to grow. This fast growing tree can reach 30 meters high and 150 years of life. Its palmate leaves have five to seven leaflets. Its white flowers similar to candles, which are perfectly symmetrical and straight, bloom between May and June.

White Chestnut helps us distance ourselves from our problems and to relax. It can be administered when you are being pestered with the same idea and when you repeatedly have the same thoughts.

Essence Effect on the Body: When the train of thoughts also manifests itself in physical reactions, we can use White Chestnut essence to stop the pounding of our thoughts and find a new basis for the resolution of our problems. Bodily discomfort can be reduced as there is a progressive increase of serenity and security.

Mood: People are tormented by recurring unwanted thoughts. Once and again, there are repeated feelings, fixed ideas, and so, our own uncertainty grows. With White Chestnut essence, our inner agitation calms down and so it allows us to redirect our attention to other aspects. There is a renewed interest over the present time, and so, we are part of such present.

Mind: With White Chestnut essence, we regain control over our "misguided" spirit so we can refocus on what it is important. Our thinking is more moderate and constructive; we find calmness and spiritual light. We can abandon the spiritual depth and reorganize our future. Now, as we released disturbing thoughts, we can solve problems and purify open conflicts. It gives us the ability to have that uncomfortable talk we have postponed and to recover the inner order. White Chestnut essence helps us organize our thoughts before an exam and to structure our reading and writing.

Spirit: Liberation, clarity, and order are important objectives for this essence. As we are free of the burden that suffocates us, our spirit is illuminated and we can get in touch with our Higher Self. We identify our objective and ignore everything that troubles us. Thus, we find new order in our personality and our environment.

Affirmation: I leave behind negative thinking and I focus on what is really important.
