The Bach flower remedy called Oak comes from the oak, a tree species found throughout the Northern Hemisphere. It is found from the coldest latitudes to the tropical regions of Asia. Oaks are genetically very polymorphic, which explains their strong adaptability. Their great strength also allows them to produce shoots from buds that have remained dormant for many years.
The oak is a fast-growing tree that can reach several dozen meters in height.
With a single, straight trunk, it represents strength and nobility. Its leaves are lobed, with rounded tips for the white oak and pointed tips for the red oak. It produces acorns containing a seed that, depending on the species, can take between 6 and 18 months to mature. The oak is a tree that easily exceeds 500 years and is used to sheltering numerous species of insects. Even after its death, the oak continues to feed them. It is often referred to as a biodiversity hotspot.
