OliveOlea europaeaOlive is a small tree of 5-15m with pale grey bark, much branched, with grey-green foliage. The leaves are silvery beneath and leathery, 45-60mm long, in opposite pairs. The flowers grow along a stem (in racemes) which springs from the axil of the leaf, twenty or more flowers together on each raceme. Each individual flower is small with four creamy white petals. Flowering PeriodThis varies according to locality and season but it is generally in May or June. PreparationOlive is prepared by the sun method. The flowering clusters are picked when in perfect bloom from as many trees as possible. Float them on to the water so as to cover the surface. UsesExhaustion due to overwork. This remedy is for those who have worked hard and as a result feel drained of energy. The tiredness may be mental or physical, recent or long-term, and there may be associated factors such as a personality type predisposed to overwork. But the common denominator and key guiding factor to this remedy is that there is a real reason for the fatigue. It may be due to physical hard toil such as heavy manual labor, or due to studying or doing some other exacting mental work, or it may occur following ill health when the body is both physically and mentally depleted. In animals, the indications are the same. The remedy may be required following ill health, or after an operation, or after the animal has given birth. It may also be helpful for working animals such as sheep dogs and shire horses, or for those who are involved in racing, competitive events or shows, where the demands of taking part and traveling to and fro take their toll. The remedy would also be a help to animals who have suffered and become exhausted through ill management or mistreatment. More about OliveThe 38 Bach Flower Remedies
