Where emotional conflict is present that expresses itself as a worry-laden form of rigidity, this oil is particularly helpful. We can imagine its sweet, green, fluid, soothing energy softening and making flexible the hardness of mind and attitude. In so doing, German camomile can be an invaluable ally in helping us deal with life’s obstacles and challenges in a lateral way not bound by habit or fear-induced rigidity. It can remind us of the problem-free possibility of adapting to these with a flexible, free-flowing spontaneous response.
