For those who repeat the same mistakes.
Dr. Bach used the horse chestnut tree twice to develop remedies, once selecting leaf buds—a unique feature, since, with the exception of rock water, the other preparations involve flowers. Horse chestnut buds form on the tree during the previous season and blossom into young shoots the following spring. They embody the tree's future, its potential for development. They are harvested in April when the young leaves have formed but not yet opened. They illustrate a nature that repeats its same development patterns from one year to the next, and which each plant displays in a unique way. Chestnut bud elixir is for those who repeat their mistakes as if they were learning nothing from life, unable to learn from them. For impulsive people who act or respond without taking the time to reflect. It supports distracted children who lack attention and struggle to learn. "This remedy should help us take full advantage of our daily experiences and see ourselves and our mistakes as others see us," Bach indicated.
"For those who do not derive all the benefits of observation and experience, who more than others need time to learn life's lessons. Where one experience would be enough for some, they need more, sometimes to repeat it several times before retaining its lessons. To their great confusion, they find themselves making the same mistake repeatedly when once should have been enough, or even when having seen others make it could have avoided this kind of situation." » Excerpt from the 1936 edition of "The Twelve Healers," translated into French by C. Lévi and G. Wolf.
