Bach Original Flower Remedies, Centaury - Be Assertive - Natural Homeopathic Flower Essence for Emotional Balance - Vegan, Gluten Free, Sugar Free - 20mL Dropper

It is just what I expected. From my readings I learned that you can get an empty 30ml bottle and put 2 drops of this original essence and fill the rest up with spring water or mineral water. It makes the original bottle last longer. The new bottle you make up lasts 3 weeks in the fridge and is as effective as using it straight from the original bottle. It tastes better too. The bottle you order from here has brandy to keep it fresh so it's a rough taste. I have several of these from a local shop and I made a blend of flower essences that suit what I need. The best small book to help you pick the right flower essences and know how to use them and make easy blends is Principles of Bach Flower Remedies: What it is, How it Works, and What it Can Do For You by Stefan Ball. It's just a small book but it really helped me understand how to use the flower essences. They are kind of pricey so it's great that there's a simple way to use them and still get the same benefits. I've used flower essences before and they are really helpful for any emotion you may be experiencing. The book describes the ideas behind them and what remedy helps for what issue. If you're overwhelmed you can always just get Bach's Rescue Remedy. It is a mixture of flower essences for emergencies that tend to help with stress and shock/fright/trauma. There are a lot of great books out there about Bach's Flower Essences but I was happy with the little book I found for now. Easy to read and understand and helped me pick the remedies better than in the past when I've just guessed based on the bottle label. There are also websites that describe the remedies BachCenter.com is my favorite. But it was the little book that taught me about how they came about, how they work, and how to take them to get the most benefit. Hope that helps someone out there. (Amazon couldn't get the other remedies I wanted before a month, so I had to go to Super Supplements and get the rest. I'm guessing Whole Foods might have Bach Flower Essences as well. Call around for stores that work for you if Amazon can't get the ones you need.)

Fantastic quality brand of flower remedies.

This flower essence has lots of benefits. It is good for your heart and is used as a blocker for sensitive people who can feel intruded on. You can study the full benefits online.

Did this product help me yes. I believe that once you incorporate these essence's into your life your mind follows, the fact you're digesting it is very important as your mind and gut are connected. I highly recommend all the essence's with the Bach Remedies workbook.

I’ve been using flower remedies for over 35 years and have always been satisfied with the results. Bach Flower Remedies is a babe you can trust.

Easy to take. Does not taste bad.

I Love Bach Flower essences ~ all of them ~ dependant on what is going on in my kitty world...it helps to soothe them when I get the combination correct for the issue they are having...LOVE the Bach brand...better then the rest!

It takes great sensitivity to feel the results of subtle energy medicine of which the Bach remedies are one type. Centaury is for those who have difficulty in saying no, being unable to honor their inner voice when confronted. For myself, having learned to say no outwardly many years ago, the issue became learning the ability to say no to that inner negative voice which can put you down or hold you back for being yourself. One way these remedies work for me is to amplify that negative inner voice to a level where you can see it for what it is and then begin to say 'no' to it. The Bach remedies aren't for everyone. Most helpful to those who practice meditation and/or being 'present' in a clear space in order to feel the effects. Having said this, a number of years ago when I wasn't all that sensitive, I took Crab Apple which is for purification/detoxification. I found myself, without thinking too much, scrubbing out my kitchen cupboards. Trust me this is not something I ordinarily choose to do! Somehow these remedies bypass the monkey mind/inner dictator to create an awakening of an inner change.
