It is the remedy for those who are judgmental and critical. It’s for those who are intolerant of people.

Beech types may nitpick and have harsh judgments, coming across as arrogant and always finding fault in others or events. They are never happy.

This gives Beech a bad rap, which creates a problem when recommending Beech to a client.

Suggesting Beech to someone may be akin to an insult.

They may think, “What? You think I’m a judgmental monster???”

They may feel offended and ask, “Why are you suggesting Beech?” (A question I’ve been asked many times when I recommend it!)

But here’s the harsh reality.

I don’t believe there’s a single person on this planet who could not use Beech at some point in their life.

The fact is, we all have judgments. Yes, all of us.

I’ve yet to meet someone who doesn’t. (Myself included.)

We all have our personal beliefs and points of view.

Be it music, religion, fashion, movies, diet, culture, politics, philosophy, or anything else.

Very few people are willing to accept that their way may not be the only way. Instead, they may argue against anything they disagree with, often out of judgment, frustration, or anger. (Once again, myself included!)

Everyone has an opinion, and you know what they say about opinions.

The point is, Beech is a remedy that we all could use at some point.

When people ask me if I could give everyone one remedy, I reply that I’d pour Beech into the water supply!

Taking Beech helps us to let go of biases. It allows us to see the bigger picture. Everyone and everything has a purpose and reason for being. (Otherwise, they would not exist, in my opinion.)

Beech helps us to see their place in it all and accept why they are here without the judgment we typically experience.

The non-judgment and acceptance of others and their purpose is the definition of unconditional love.

Unconditional love is not the act of loving all. It’s the acceptance of others and their purpose in this world and our lives.

That doesn’t mean you condone actions you don’t approve of or smile sappily as they ransack your house.

It’s like the sun. It shines and gives life to all. It doesn’t care who you are, what you are doing, or what you have done. It will always be there. Unconditionally.

Unconditional love means recognizing how everything is connected and how other people help you see your true self.

This is what enables real self-definition, one of life’s key purposes. We discover who we are by comparing ourselves to others.

And while Holly is the remedy for dealing with anger, Beech is the remedy that can help stop that anger, to begin with, through acceptance.

Below is a sample of the many remedies that work with Beech for specific information.

You will find the full list in Bach Flower Remedies - The Hidden Layers.

Always finding fault.

For people who are always dissatisfied and keep criticizing others or things, pointing out their faults. For instance, you might clean a house from top to bottom and they’ll point out the one spot that was not dusted.

• Beech / Chicory / Willow / Crab Apple

Beech – For being judgmental.

Chicory – For seeking negative attention.

Willow – If resenting others and wishing to put them down.

Crab Apple – If never satisfied with their work. (Always feeling it could have been better.)

Always knows better.

It doesn’t matter what someone may say, this type of person always knows more than them or feels they have information or knowledge that trumps others. They may have watched a five-minute video somewhere and now consider themselves experts.

• Beech / Vine / Chicory

Beech – For not accepting other’s points of view.

Vine – For controlling others’ ideas.

Chicory – For needing to be the center of attention, ego out of control.

Anger caused by different points of view.

If someone becomes angry or irritated because others don’t see their point of view or agree with what they believe.

• Beech / Impatiens / Holly / Vine

Beech – For judgment on others.

Impatiens – For becoming irritated.

Holly – For anger.

Vine – Feels they always must be in control or desire to dominate others.

Believes or acts as if they are never wrong.

Even if this type believes they are wrong, they often double down on what they say. Ego and self-importance will make them insist they are always right.

• Beech / Chicory

Beech – For not seeing other’s point of view.

Chicory – For self-importance.

Believing one has more insight than experts. (E.g., Suspicious of people in power or positions of authority.)

This type often believes in conspiracy theories. You may present as much evidence as you like, but it will rarely change their mind.

• Beech / Holly / Willow / Cerato / Vine

Beech – For passing judgment on others.

Holly – For paranoia.

Willow – For resenting those in authority.

Cerato – To help clarify one’s intuition.

Vine – Needs to control the narrative. Will enforce their will and ideas on others.

Critical of oneself.

These individuals berate themselves when they make a mistake or clumsily do something. Such people are harsh on themselves and feel that they should be better. This is different from the Pine state, where one is carrying guilt for things they may have no control over, but similar to the Crab Apple state, where one seeks perfection in what they do.

• Beech / Pine / Crab Apple / Willow / Larch

Beech – When critical of oneself.

Pine – If feeling guilt for errors or clumsiness.

Crab Apple – If one always feels their work is never good enough.

Willow – For those who have fallen into a victim mindset.

Larch – When one feels like a failure because they are not clever and coordinated enough.

Critical of others.

When constantly criticizing others. Usually, doing what they blame others for. It’s often the person projecting.

• Beech / Vine / Holly

Beech – For judgment on others.

Vine – For needing to control others.

Holly – For hatred towards others.

I’ve noticed that Aspen protects against astral influences.

It’s the remedy for when something wrong or bad is occurring on the astral levels, and if you’re sensitive, you will pick up on it.

There is always a lag between what is manifesting astrally and in the 3D.

So, my working theory here is that when something major is about to go wrong, we will feel that sense of uneasiness and impending doom.

But it’s also the same sense you get when something is around you in an entity form.

It’s also possible that if someone has bad intentions towards you, but you don’t know what they are, you may get that same sense of uneasiness.

It’s the proverbial, I’ve got a bad feeling about this.

Which brings me to the part of the question that I’ve been mulling over for decades.

How does Aspen work?

From what I’ve been able to discern, Aspen provides protection against negative astral influences. It helps shield one from negative or disturbing energies.

They are energies with the intent to harm or cause problems.

They may not always be astral based. It can be someone with negative intentions toward you, like a work colleague, boss, neighbor, jealous or jilted lover, or someone who has decided you have offended them and is going to get even.

It could be people talking behind your back or trying to sabotage your reputation.

Many places in the world use rituals, such as black magic, voodoo curses, or the evil eye, to cause harm.

Many, in their ignorance, might chuckle or laugh at this, but believe me when I say, this is no joke. Not only are such things real, but I have seen lives grind to a halt and people devastated by such rituals.

These things may cause the target to shift into the Aspen state as they sense something is amiss. That they have run afoul of something or someone.

Global events versus personal events

As mentioned, this state may manifest on a personal or global level.

9/11 is a good example, as many people reported feeling like they were in grief weeks before it happened. They did not know why. This is a classic Aspen state.

You know something is coming, but you might not have context for what that is. You don’t know what you don’t know.

On a personal level, it’s easier to discern what that might be. Aspen may bring clarity, and because you have way more information about your life and the people in it, you can focus on what you know is going on and the people involved.

When you hit on the right answer, you’ll likely get an ‘ah-ha’ moment. It may not fix the problem, but it will allow one to know what is coming and hopefully move to avoid that outcome.

Globally, though, you have much less control. Some things become inevitable once a critical mass of toxic energy is reached.

You might feel depressed, sad, angry, frustrated, or triggered for no apparent reason.

(It’s safe to say that many are feeling that way at the time of writing this entry. (April 6^th, 2026.))

Aspen vs Gentian

Taking Aspen helps one to see past the immediate calamity to a point beyond it. Where all is eventually resolved.

In that way, Aspen is akin to Gentian.

Gentian is the remedy for known setbacks. When something goes wrong, taking Gentian will help reassure one that even if things look dire, they will work out in the end.

Aspen does the same thing, except it’s for unknown setbacks. Events you feel coming, but because you have no information or context, you cannot define what they are.

It also helps with the fear of the unknown. Especially if that is a fear of the paranormal.

Protection against attacks

Aspen is also a remedy that helps protect against psychic attacks.

When someone, or something, is trying to influence you in a negative way (be that black magic or an entity trying to mess with your emotions to make you feel like giving up), Aspen can provide protection against these types of attacks.

Willow (for negative self-image) and White Chestnut (for unwanted thoughts) are also important to block such attacks.

Use Aspen as a Spray

Using Aspen as a spray can provide protection. Walnut (the link breaker and protection against influences that try to mess with your life path) is also a very helpful remedy to complement Aspen.

Also, Mustard may be helpful, too. (the remedy that helps protect against energies that drain the joy from one).

Aspen helps ground the energies so they do not affect you as badly as they might.

Aspen also helps Empaths, who are always struggling to cope with others’ feelings. This is important as it helps one not to take on trauma or negativity from those around them.

In conclusion

Aspen is a protector. If you have a sense of doom, or uneasy feelings, or just feel panicky for no apparent reason, then it’s worth trying.

Suggested Mixes

It is a sampling of the type of mixes that work with Aspen.

If you wish to support my works, can you find the link to buy this book here.

Aspen – For those who feel something is wrong but unsure what.

Walnut – To help protect against outside influences.

Mustard – For areas that create feelings of deep gloom.

Feeling apprehension.

People may feel uneasy or apprehensive for no apparent reason. This may be due to their intuition telling them something is wrong.

• Aspen / Mimulus / Scleranthus / Cerato

Mimulus – If known fears are present.

Scleranthus – If there is a choice that needs to be clarified.

Agrimony – Helps release hidden feelings and bring clarity to one’s emotions.

Centaury – If feeling that one can’t self-care due to fear of offending someone present.

Cerato – To help clarify fears.

Gentian – For reassurance.

Honeysuckle – If memories keep coming up.

Star of Bethlehem – If trauma or shock contributed to fears.

The emotional pain this produces may lead to substance abuse as a way to cope, or self-inflicted harm to use physical pain to distract from the emotional pain.

Practitioners may caution others against taking Agrimony because it can bring their repressed emotions to the surface, potentially making them feel worse.

However, repressed emotions can be a serious issue for one’s long-term health.

The Agrimony state may lead to spikes of anxiety from seemingly unknown causes.

Aspen will not touch these feelings. (Aspen is more for a sense of impending doom.)

Even tasks we are putting off, such as tax filings, paperwork, difficult discussions with others, or upcoming exams, may trigger the Agrimony state as one attempts to put such worries out of their mind.

The resulting spikes of anxiety are mentally exhausting and unpleasant. It’s akin to depression.

When taking Agrimony, it’s helpful to know which other remedies one may need to counter the emotions that may arise.

The following mixes are designed to assist with this.

These are taken from Bach Flower Remedies – The Hidden Layers. If you like what you see and want to see more, you’ll find the book’s link after the suggested mixes.

Pine – For carrying guilt.

The answer is always the same.

Two drops from the stock bottle and 4 drops if you mix those drops into a larger bottle.

It never changes.

This is because Bach Flower Remedies do not work on potency, but on vibrations.

Since 1994, I’ve been trying to understand how and why this works, and I feel I’ve finally come up with an analogy that helps explain why.

Imagine you’ve got a drop of blue dye. This is a very concentrated dye, and two drops are all that is needed to turn a small beaker of water blue.

But what if you wanted to use that beaker to turn a second beaker of water blue?

Because the first beaker is not as concentrated, it will take more drops to do it. (In this case, at least 4 drops.)

Because it is more diluted, it takes more drops to produce the same results.

Now, Bach Flower Remedies are vibrational rather than homeopathic or herbal. It takes a certain amount of vibrations to create the critical mass to change the water into the vibrational resonance of the remedy it needs to be.

I believe that Doctor Bach erred on the side of caution when stating how many drops are needed. It’s possible that 1 drop might be all it takes. (In fact, the size of the drops varies between a 10ml dropper and a 30 ml dropper, which makes how much you need inconsistent.)

Fortunately, taking more than is needed will not cause any issues. So, when in doubt, you can take more. But know you will not get any extra benefit by doing so.

Frequency is key to healing.

Ten drops of one remedy will not produce a quicker result. But two drops taken five times over several minutes will.

Just remember that healing works in layers, and new emotions may arise, so be ready for them with the appropriate remedy.

Also, if nothing changes, it’s the wrong remedy.

If you are still talking about suicide, it means you’ve not got to the point where you have fatalistically made up your mind.

If you aren’t and are close to working out the details, this is where you need to take note.

Those tormenting thoughts you are hearing in your mind, the ones telling you that you’re not worthy… The ones telling you that everyone would be better off without you…

Those visions you are getting of throwing yourself off a bridge, under a train, or something similar…

Those thoughts are not yours.

They are coming from outside influences. They are coming from what one would class as either demonic beings or negative energies.

You might be targeted because you have a job to do that might help make the world a brighter place, or it will benefit someone or something to have you removed.

But take it from me. Those are not your thoughts. They are psychic attacks.

Even if you know better, you can still be vulnerable to such influences. Especially if you’re carrying guilt, doubt, or feeling like you’re letting other people down.

I know what it’s like because I’ve been there, and it’s hard. Very, very hard.

Help is at hand, though. I’ve found that a certain mix of Bach Flower Remedies can turn it all around.

These remedies may save your or someone’s life.

White Chestnut – This one is vital. This is the remedy for tormenting thoughts you can’t control. It helps prevent and stop suicidal thoughts – Especially those that are playing on your fears and self-worth. In essence, it blocks those negative beings.

Cherry Plum – For those prone to uncontrolled actions and compulsions. Traditionally, the remedy for letting go of what you are bottling up inside you. It helps one deal with impotent rage and the frustration of not being seen, validated, or heard.

It’s the pain and torment of those things that can make one hurt themselves to try and draw attention and prove a point. Also, it might be very helpful for those who cut themselves. (Combine with Agrimony.)

Elm – When feeling overwhelmed by events, energies, and constant attacks to the point of being worn down, your resistance is gone, and you may not be able to function.

Willow – Those on the edge are often in a victim mode. They might feel bitter, resentful, or feel their situation is unfair and no one can understand them. This state of mind is dangerously seductive. One’s logic and reason may be short-circuited, where hurting themselves makes absolute sense. Willow is critical to stopping those feelings.

Pine – Many who carry massive guilt can barely bear it. The pain can be so intense, and the feeling that they should remove themselves from others and life is overwhelming.

This remedy stops the guilt. There is a high chance that those who carry guilt don’t even know they do. All they may experience is an unending emotional pain and anguish that they can’t seem to place.

Gorse – When all feels hopeless, and you don’t believe anything will make a difference. There doesn’t seem to be any point in going on. This remedy restores hope.

Gentian – The remedy for faith. The comforter. Taking it in a crisis will bring reassurance that everything will work out, especially when the moment feels like everything is falling apart and you see no way ahead.

Larch – For those who suffer from a lack of self-esteem. It’s the remedy when you do not feel worthy of being here or of others’ love. You may feel that your presence makes no difference to the lives of others.

Agrimony - When one tries to suppress their fears and concerns and hide them, even from themselves, it can produce great anxiety. These may manifest as sharp spikes of anguish, like a game of Whack-A-Mole that never ends.

Agrimony will assist in releasing those feelings and stopping that anxiety.

Rock Water – When you fear failure. That you may not be able to live up to the ideals and expectations of yourself or others. Failing grades at school are a typical example.

Important Reminder.

It’s important to note that you will get the best results by taking each remedy individually. If you mix them, it will dilute their healing power.

You also need to take them frequently. I take them every 30 seconds until relief is obtained. (For me, I find relief comes after two to five minutes).

It’s also important to understand that these remedies are vibrational; hence, they do not interfere or react with any other medication you may be taking. They are safe, non-toxic, non-addictive, gentle, and effective.

Please pass this information on if you know someone who might benefit from this information. You might save a life. I know they helped save mine.

Underrated by many and unknown to many more (even though they have been around since the 1920s), they are among the safest and gentlest healing systems I’ve come across.

I was introduced to them in late 1994 by a lady who ran a natural healthcare shop. I was skeptical but tried them anyway. Within days, they brought me profound comfort and healing.

Over the decades, I have tried many types of healing systems. This is the only one that has produced consistent results for the greatest number of people over the years.

If I had to choose one system of healing over all others, it would be Bach Flower Remedies every time. I call them one of nature’s greatest gifts because there are so many good things going for it and very few negatives.

Pros

- They are non-toxic.

(They are preserved in alcohol, but non-alcoholic versions are available.)

- You cannot overdose.

- Choosing the wrong remedy has no effect on you.

- They are relatively cheap. One bottle can last a long time.

- They are simple to use.

- They are a complete healing system.

- They can be self-administered.

- Healing tends to be of a permanent nature.

Cons

- When mixing the remedies, there is a limit of 7 that can be used at any one time. The more you mix together at one time, the less potent the effects are.
