"In health there is freedom. Health is the first of all liberties."
Henri-Frederic Amiel 1828-1881My mental health, alternative remedy for today is Pulsatilla or Pasqueflower. Part of the Buttercup family, the Pasqueflower grows in the chalky soil of the grasslands in 
Northern, and Central North America. The homeopathic remedy, is prepared from the plant's dried aerial parts.
The Pasqueflower is effective because of its delicate properties that are helpful for adults and children who suffer from insecurity and sensitivity. This delicate blue flowering plant is said to resemble the personality type of those who may benefit from its properties. These individuals are usually timid, prone to mood swings, cry easily, feel depressed, suffer from a low self-esteem, and psychosomatic issues. Pulsatilla can also be used to treat physical symptoms such as stomach and digestive discomfort from too many rich foods, issues with menstruation and menopause, as well as mucus discharge from a cold or flu, and earache.
Will Pulsatilla work for you? Ask yourself the following questions. If at least 3 apply to you then this might be just the remedy you are looking for.
If you have questions about this alternative medicine, your mental health practitioner, naturopath, or regular doctor would be the best person to consult as mentioned in my other blogs. He/she will want to know if symptoms get better or worse with the following conditions.
