About this herb:
Scientific name: Impatiens glandulifera
Description: Impatiens is an annual plant, and is native to the Himalaya. The stem is fleshy and can reach a height of 7 inches. It is mostly found on shores, rivers, brooks and canals. The leaves are serrated. Most flowers are an intense mauve, but Dr. Bach used light mauve-colored blossoms exclusively. The plant blooms from July to September.
The aims of this flower essence:
One reacts impatiently and a little bit irritably, shows overabundant reactions.
Dr. Bach wrote:
Are you one of those who know that deep down in your nature there is still a trace of cruelty; when buffeted and harassed you find it difficult not to have a little malice? Have you still left within you the desire to use force to bring another to your way of thinking: are you impatient and does that impatience sometimes make you cruel: have you left in your nature any trace of the inquisitor? If so, you are striving for exquisite gentleness and forgiveness, and that beautiful mauve flower, Impatiens, which grows along the sides of some of the Welsh streams, will, with its blessing, help you along the road. (Free Thyself, 1932)
