This is one case where you must be honest with yourself. Ask yourself, is this remedy for me. Truly, give the answer. If it is, you will want to add that to the mix.

To make a mix, add 7 drops of each Bach flower remedy to a dark bottle. You can use up to 7 remedies per bottle/per emotional state. Less is actually better.
