Walnut

Walnut is associated with life’s transitions and the need for protection from outside influences. Dr Bach described it for stages of change such as teething, puberty and the menopause, and for important new beginnings. The person knows what they want, but other people’s opinions and outside influences can lead them off course.

👉 “Everything is changing and I’m struggling to adjust.”

Typical emotional pattern:

• Changes such as moving house, changing school or starting a new job

• Transitions such as teething, puberty and the menopause

• Being easily influenced by others

• Difficulty breaking old ties

• Needing to adjust to new beginnings
