I am seeing more and more of my friends and family stepping up to the role of caregiver. This is not exclusive to caring for elderly parents, it is also supporting loved ones who are physically challenged because of surgery, a progressive disease or other difficulties. Many of my friends are also holistic health care providers and deal with intense emotional situations. And, included in the caring role are moms. It is the best and hardest job that we can have.
Regardless of what caring may look like for you, we can agree that it can be exhausting physically, mentally, emotionally and/or spiritually. The weight of responsibility is overwhelming.
The Australian Bush flower essence that I recommend and give to many of my professional friends is Alpine Mint Bush. Ian White writes in his book, Bush Flower Healing:
"The healing quality of this essence is to rejuvenate those people in service or who care and take responsibility for other people."
The feedback that I get from those who are taking this flower essence is:
"I finally got a good night's sleep."
"I feel a sense of calm."
"I am realizing how tired I am and I am setting boundaries."
"Could you make me another bottle of the essence?"
Ian White lists the positive outcomes when taking Alpine Mint Bush as: revitalization, joy and renewal.
