Normally, negative ELM form reveals itself as the “weak moments in the life of the strong”. Sometimes, in our own lives, we come across Negative Elm State, when we suddenly find ourselves unequal to do our normal duty. Elm remedy would immediately remove the temporary feeling of inadequacy from the mind and restore our confidence to do our job. The weak moments of the Elm type may be regarded as warning signals, not to allow one’s capabilities to be overstretched beyond a certain limit. It also brings home to the
strong man’ the stark reality that every human being is ultimately a weak being unless he keeps himself connected to his Higher Self, and is being guided by it.
In the negative Elm state, the following symptoms occur:
1. Suddenly feels overwhelmed by the heap of responsibilities, doubts his ability to do the job.
2. Temporary feeling of inadequacy, resulting in despondency .
3. Complete exhaustion of mind and body due to ceaseless work without respite.
4. Imbued by over-confidence in his ability, he undertakes so many works that it is humanly not possible to complete them. Hence the temporary feeling of inadequacy and sadness.
5. When undertaking the numerous responsibilities, he makes no allowance for such exigencies as illness, incidents and accidents of life, the age factor, natural physical changes as menopause etc.

There is an intimate relation between the physical body and mind. If a man is happy, a smile comes to his face automatically, but if he is worried furrows appear on his face.
Mind is the mirror which reflects the physical state of the person. Physical ailments affect the mental attitude – the mood—of the person. As the physical symptoms change, there is a relative change in the mood of the person.
Ailments in the different parts of the body have a cumulative effect on the mind and mood of the person. It is this change of mood—the mental state – of the patient which the Flower Remedies intend to change and rectify, thereby nullifying the cumulative result of all physical ailments.
The fact that Flower Remedies cater to only mental symptoms should not be construed to mean that these remedies only cure the mental diseases such as insanity etc. As explained earlier, these remedies rectify the change in the mood of the person wrought by his physical and mental ailments and through this rectification, they remove the cumulative effect of both physical & mental troubles. On principle it is desirable to prescribe only one Bach Flower Remedy, on the main most prominent mental symptom at a time, and change the medicine when the mood changes. But sometimes, it is difficult to choose between 2 medicines which are indicated equally suitable at the same time. In such cases both the medicines can be administered individually or in combination at the same time.
