Fear of known reasons
Bach Flower Mimulus is the remedy for fear of known things-fear of illness, poverty, living alone, travelling, of death or injury - the fears of everyday life. Other fears covered by this Bach flower remedy are fear of heights, of pain, of water, of animals, of other people, of the dark and stage fright. The remedy will help people, whatever their personality, if they are afraid, but there is a side to Bach Flower Mimulus which describes a certain type of person. Those of the Bach Flower Mimulus nature are often afraid of people and are shy, nervous or retiring. They feel uneasy with people they do not know and tend to blush easily or stammer in their presence. They therefore dislike social gatherings because they feel too self-conscious to join in. The Bach Flower Mimulus remedy helps these timid bashful folk to have the courage to confront their fears, and as they do, so their fears diminish, just as a dark room ceases to be frightening once the light has been switched on.
Symptoms may include stuttering, blushing, sinus trouble (running nose/eyes), shallow breathing, marked sensitivity to noise, controversy and crowds; nervous disposition, shyness.
