Agrimony
Agrimony
Bach Flower Agrimony, or Agrimonia eupatoria, is used to address individuals who hide their inner turmoil behind a cheerful or jovial façade. Here's how Agrimony might be applied for both horse and rider:
For Horses:
Masking Pain: Some horses may hide signs of discomfort or pain, displaying a cheerful demeanour despite underlying physical issues. Agrimony can help to encourage them to express their true feelings, allowing for early detection and treatment of any health concerns.
Stress or Anxiety: Horses that experience stress or anxiety may mask their emotions with seemingly happy behaviour, making it challenging for their caretakers to recognize and address their needs. Agrimony can help to create a more open and honest expression of their emotions, leading to better management of stress and anxiety.
Social Discomfort: Horses that feel uncomfortable or out of place in social situations may hide their feelings behind a façade of cheerfulness. Agrimony can help to alleviate social anxiety and promote more genuine and relaxed interactions with other horses and humans.
For Riders:
Emotional Suppression: Riders who suppress their true feelings and put on a brave face, even when experiencing stress, anxiety, or other emotional challenges, may benefit from Agrimony to encourage them to acknowledge and address their emotions.
Fear of Judgement: Riders who fear judgement or criticism from others may hide their insecurities behind a façade of confidence or cheerfulness. Agrimony can help to alleviate these fears and promote a more authentic and self-assured expression of their true selves.
Communication Barriers: Riders who struggle to communicate their needs or emotions effectively may benefit from Agrimony to foster more open and honest communication with their horse and others in the equestrian community.
As with any Bach Flower remedy, Agrimony should be administered according to the recommended dosage and frequency, either diluted in water or taken directly on the tongue. It's essential to address any underlying issues contributing to emotional suppression or masking behaviour, such as past traumas, insecurities, or communication barriers. Consulting with a veterinarian or Bach Flower practitioner can provide personalized guidance on using Agrimony effectively in specific situations.
