BACH FLOWER REMEDIES: BEECH REMEDY – MRS. TEHL SINGH’S CASE
Case No.2 : Mrs. Tehl Singh was the Principal of a Public School of repute. She was, in fact, the architect of the School’s reputation as the premier institution in the matter of discipline. No teacher or student dared come late or leave early. No gossipping around the school premises, no idle talk, no unbecoming act by the students or other employees of the school.She brought up her children under the most strict discipline. The children felt mother’s fear nearer than mother’s love.When Mrs. Singh reached her middle age, she felt stiffening and pain in all joints, frequent bouts of migraine; constipation & many other troubles. She did not have many friends. Her own children left her home after getting married.After the death of her husband, she felt terribly isolated and alone. She had not sympathised with anyone during her hey-day. No body came near her in her difficulty.She was tense – so tense that she could not tolerate even an innocent remark from others. She was intolerant of people, of light, of change of weather, of noise, of disorderly behaviour of even unknown persons. Something was on her nerves all the time. When she came to us, she was much depressed. A new fear assailed her. What would happen if the stiffening of her joints ended in complete immobility of her limbs, now that she was alone & with no friends. A combination of Mimulus (for fear) and Beech (for intolerance) was given T.D.S for 4 weeks, after which she had no fear of the future and there was much relief in her tension. Mimulus was discontinued.However Beech Remedy alone was continued for another month till the negative side of Beech was replaced by the positive side of the remedy. Mrs. Singh became humane in her dealings. She developed tolerance and maturity of outlook. Now she did not look for faults in other people, rather tried to understand the cause and background of the other man’s failing. She not only sympathised with them, but helped them with her guidance, and instead of criticising them found cause to appreciate them.This welcome change in her temperament was noticed by others. She had no dearth of friends now. Her children came to her and faced her not in awe but with love. She had already shed off all her tensions and physical ailments.*60\308\8*
