• For those with a desperate attitude.

A long-time resident of European forests, the chestnut tree has survived the millennia. The first traces of its appearance date back eight million years, a testament to its resilience. Its creamy flowers, which capture the light well, display exuberance and vigor in their profusion. A robust burr protects its fruit, which has a shiny, leathery skin, while its solid wood is used to make stakes and frameworks. Its entire structure embodies strength and endurance.

This is the last flower to have been chosen by Bach, at the end of his strength after the frantic search for his last remedies that he discovered at the rate of one per week. It is useful when one feels at rock bottom or on the verge of major changes announced (breakup, divorce ...), with no more resources to mobilize. It helps to get through a situation or trials experienced as crucial or even insurmountable, and with a feeling of great loneliness.

"For periods of anguish so great that they seem unbearable to the one going through them. When there is nothing left to contemplate but destruction and annihilation." Excerpt from the 1936 edition of "The Twelve Healers," translated into French by C. Lévi and G. Wolf.
