Bailey Combination essences were developed in addition to the standard single flower essences to focus on specific issues.
They have been made by Arthur and his family to help with negative attitudes of the mind and old conditioned patterns. Arthur died in April this year and will be sorely missed by the world, but his legacy continues with this range of excellent flower essences and combinations.
The inspiration for Arthur's range, which has expanded somewhat over the years, was of course the work of Dr. Edward Bach. Arthur found that different methods of making the essences made flower essences effective in different ways and went on to develop new ways of capturing the essence of many different and new flowers.
As with the Bach Flowers, they are completely safe for anyone to use from child to pensioner and cover a wide range of emotional and mental issues.
This range of combination essences are made to deal with specific emotional and life issues. They are made up of between three and six of the original single Bailey Essences and are extremely effective.
Within this range of combinations, there are ten essences aimed particularly at acupuncture practitioners and the imbalances found within the five elements.
10ml Bailey Combination Essences
10ml Bottle
Anger & Frustration (combination of Red Poppy, Firethorn and Holly Leaf) We all need energy, but when too much is expressed we become angry and when there is too little we are ineffective. Energy needs to be balanced and this combination helps us to achieve this. Red Poppy helps to build our reserves of energy and to bring up our levels of energy in a controlled manner. Firethorn stabilises our energy so that we may express ourselves clearly without over-reaction. Holly Leaf is for frustration as when we feel this way, our anger turns inwards and we have a tendency to rise to bait easily.

Cellular Memory (combination of Wood Anemone, Red Frangipani, Pink Purslane, Giant Bellflower, Heather & Charlock) Memory, whether positive or negative, is stored in every cell of the body, not just in the brain. When these memories are triggered, we feel an instantaneous reaction which happens so quickly we are powerless to stop it. The negative memories arise from powerful suppressions early in life or form past lives and form guilt complexes which rule our lives. This composition helps to heal those cellular memories detrimental to our growth and health, helping us to discover our own true needs and to honour them.

10ml Bottle
Childhood (combination of Bracken, Valerian, Charlock & Round Headed Leek) A majority of us have difficulties affecting us as adults which have their roots in our childhood experiences and conditioning. These issues can take over our lives occasionally making us behave 'out of character'. This composition helps to gradually dissolve these old patterns allowing us to grow and develop without their influence on our lives and behaviour.

10ml Bottle
Confusion (combination of Oak, Rosebay, Foxglove & Soapwort) This composition is for when we feel confused and as if we have lost track of where we should be heading.

10ml Bottle
Dependency (combination of Oriental Poppy, Red Poppy, Apricot Poppy & Welsh Poppy) There are times in everyone's life when we become dependent on something or someone.

Depression & Despair (combination of Bluebell, Hawkweed Flowering Currant & Blackthorn) There are times when we all feel depressed, times which seem to be negative and beyond our control.

This combination brings our fears out into the open to be seen as they really are.

Insecurity (combination of Butterbur, Milk Thistle, Moss & Sea Campion) Feelings of insecurity can range from one off events to a continuing feeling which will not go away. Whichever it is, the cause is the same - a lack of personal power, a sense of not being in control of one's own destiny. What we need to accomplish is a realisation of the things in life we can change and there are some things we can't. It is a fear of the things we cannot control which causes insecurity. This essence helps us to overcome these feelings and take control only over the things that we can.

10ml Bottle
Yang (combination of Siberian Spruce, Yew, Nasturtium & Red Clover) To achieve balance, the Yang qualities of a person need to fulfil certain criteria. The fundamental property of Yang energy is personal power. It is about making one's mark in the world. It is strong, steadfast and protective. This energy can become too rigid and without the ability to yield when needed, it makes us domineering and dogmatic. This makes us vulnerable to opposition. There can be problems if the Yang element is dominant and we need to change our view of the world. "Male pride" is a typical reaction against accepting changes even when they are both necessary and wise. We need to build bridges with our Yin side, so that we become open to our intuition. Without this there will be unease within our self, reflected in unease where relationships with others are concerned.
£5.30
10ml Bottle
Yin (combination of Larch, Marigold, Delphinium & Honesty) Yin energy is about feminine power and intuition, a feeling for what is going on beneath the surface. It is also about love, compassion and nurturing. This energy needs to be balanced or intuition will become make-believe. This composite helps us to unblock Yin energy and combine in balance with Yang so that we are truly balanced. When we are in a state of balance we are able to see the whole picture and act on it with insight as well as be assertive with our needs in the right way.

Yin/Yang Balancer (combination of Larch, Honesty, Delphinium, Siberian Spruce, Red Clover & Nasturtium) To balance the essential male and female energies and Yin/Yang qualities within a person.
