“Monday, Monday, Can’t Trust That Day”—those lyrics from the Mamas and the Papas are not really about Monday mornings at work, but that’s what comes to mind for me when I think about Hornbeam Bach Flower Remedy: all the poor souls dreading the work week beginning again. They feel tired just thinking about it. Because they work too physically hard? Maybe. But it’s just as likely that their tiredness comes from the tedium and boredom of a job that just doesn’t spark enthusiasm. You have to pay the rent so in you go, but there’s no joy in it. It’s just another day of slogging through and doing what needs to be done. You feel stuck and maybe it’s starting to make you feel a bit depressed.
This isn’t the same as “clinical” depression, although I suppose if it lasts long enough you might want to seek help to figure out what to do. No, this is a REALLY common situation that is entirely situational. Tedium and monotony with no end in sight has been draining your energy. You can’t even imagine having the energy to spruce up your resume and look for a more interesting job because you are so sick of working at all!
That’s when Hornbeam flower essence is an appropriate choice. Hornbeam seems to brighten up the spirits by helping you “seize the day” with more strength and determination. It can help you see things from a better perspective, perhaps spark ideas of how to approach your work, perhaps by learning something new or by taking on a new assignment or two. Or maybe you’ll have the enthusiasm to find a better job! That could be good, too.

Flower essences are used to assist with mind-body-spirit interactions and individual results may vary. They are extremely dilute which makes them quite safe. But because so little physical substance can be detected in a flower essence solution, these products are presumed to work on an energetic or vibrational level—something that cannot be adequately tested by western scientific methods. Claims made by me, therefore, are based on personal experiences and the evidence of the combined multiple decades of case notes by Dr. Edward Bach as well as Healing Herbs and Flower Essence Services (the companies who make the ingredients I use in my products). This is not, however, accepted medical evidence or substantiated scientific evidence from a modern allopathic point of view. I am not a medical doctor or licensed healthcare practitioner.
