Mustard
Bach Flower Mustard is typically recommended for individuals experiencing sudden, unexplained feelings of sadness or depression that seem to descend out of nowhere. Here's how Mustard might be beneficial for both horse and rider:
For Horses:
Mood Swings: Horses that exhibit sudden changes in behaviour, such as becoming withdrawn, listless, or despondent without apparent cause, may benefit from Mustard. This remedy can help stabilize their emotions and bring back their usual vitality.
Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD): Some horses may experience mood changes associated with changes in seasons or weather patterns. Mustard can help alleviate symptoms of seasonal affective disorder, such as lethargy or depression, and restore their usual zest for life.
Emotional Sensitivity: Horses that are emotionally sensitive and easily affected by their environment, such as changes in routine or disruptions in their social dynamics, may find relief with Mustard. It can help them maintain emotional equilibrium and resilience in the face of external stressors.
For Riders:
Unexpected Sadness: Riders who experience sudden bouts of sadness or depression, seemingly without any external trigger or cause, may benefit from Mustard. This remedy can help lift their spirits and restore a sense of emotional balance.
Seasonal Depression: Riders who experience seasonal depression, particularly during the winter months when daylight hours are shorter, may find relief with Mustard. It can help alleviate feelings of melancholy and restore a sense of joy and vitality.
Emotional Vulnerability: Riders who are highly sensitive to emotional fluctuations or external stressors, such as changes in their horse's behaviour or performance, may find Mustard helpful in stabilizing their mood and maintaining a positive outlook.
As with any Bach Flower remedy, Mustard should be administered according to the recommended dosage and frequency, either diluted in water or taken directly on the tongue. It's essential to consult with a veterinarian or Bach Flower practitioner to ensure appropriate use and dosage for both horse and rider. While Bach Flower Remedies can support overall well-being, they should not replace veterinary care for horses or medical advice for riders.
