How Beech can help heal intolerance and judgement

The healing that comes from Beech is related to the realigning and healing of all aspects of tolerance.

Beech can be used where likes and dislikes are also false, and for excessive tolerance. It is also very good for trivialisation and attitudes and behaviour associated with this. Also, false empathy and aversions. A deep-rooted lack of empathy...

Whether the intolerance is either emotional or intellectual, Beech can help a person heal. 

When in a harmonious 'Beech state', one will not be ruled by one’s own dislikes and aversions. They will not be ruled by them or dole them out to others.

Judgement will not be frivolous or done in haste and in a reactive way, but more so in the knowledge that there are both good and bad sides and also positive and negative sides to things. Rejecting as little as possible and accepting as much as possible.

The "live and let live" adage will be more their thing rather than "my way or the highway".

The spirit will be open and less at odds with aversions and dislikes.

Beech is also useful for the treatment of allergies, and l have used this in a combination for skin conditions of irritation and where there is inflammation.

Sometimes, the Beech intolerance is so deep-seated that the patient will not be aware of it themselves. But it is uncomfortable, and there will sometimes even be invented justifications to uphold their extreme dislike or unacceptance of someone or something, or both.

It is useful to treat rejections of all types and especially useful for those with narcissistic traits to lessen their damning and critical behaviour, treatment and comments, if they are willing to take it! It is certainly always worth trying.

I have often prescribed it to people who have been abused or criticised in a relationship when the person doling out the criticism is willing to at least help and take it, and it has really made a huge difference and facilitated better understanding and communication, which has led to happier relationships because of genuine and felt resolve. 

It truly lessens black and white thinking, which is useful. And when you might find yourself being or feeling unnecessarily critical.

The Beech person will find themselves endlessly in a state of contradiction or in a profound state of discontent.

There will have been, maybe in their past, a sense of moral pressure that they have been put under to adhere to and so feel that this is the right way to see things or to do things. 

Therefore, being intolerant also of others' faults, never giving others the benefit of the doubt and being easily irritated and/or being constantly irritable.

They may be narrow-minded about clothes, how others dress or present themselves, or sexual behaviour. There may be an arrogance that can seem and feel insufferable and yet they will point out others' shortcomings with absolute glee.

It promotes relaxation in condemnation. 

It restores balance and, therefore, unity. 


What can Beech help with? 

  • Lessens self-destructive tendencies and beliefs.
  • Tolerance.
  • Lessens irritations - both emotional and physical.
  • Rashes.
  • Allergies.
  • Lessening the low self-esteem that creates the intolerance.
  • Discontentment with self and others.
  • Rejection.
  • Clarity, honesty and acceptance.
  • Accountability.
  • Tolerance on moral grounds.
  • Tolerance provoked by fear.
  • Narcissistic traits.
  • Healing a lack of empathy.
  • Judgement.
  • False friendliness.

All in all, when taking Beech, things will be more relaxed, and there will be less fear of provoking their criticism or lack of empathy and understanding. Less judgement.

It can be really difficult being around someone who is always in a Beech state, because you know that the one thing you can rely on will be something that doesn’t feel good! 

I have prescribed it a lot in couples therapy where one person’s constant criticism is ruining the relationship. The outcome has, on some occasions, been swift and of so much help in bringing the couple back to closeness and understanding.

Combinations of Beech with other flower remedies:

  • Agrimony - for tolerance, false friendliness.
  • Mimulus - for tolerance because of fear.
  • Vine - for total intolerance.
  • Pine - for tolerance on moral grounds
  • Heather - for tolerance rooted in opportunism.
