Bach's Description
-
In the words of Dr. Edward Bach, Mimulus is for "fear of worldly things, illness, pain, accidents, poverty, of dark, of being alone, of misfortune. The fears of everyday life. These people quietly and secretly bear their dread; they do not freely speak of it to others."
Distinguishing Fears
-
According to the Bach Centre, Mimulus addresses everyday fears, such as fear of public speaking, fear of the dark, fear of dogs or fear of illness and pain. You can also use Mimulus for phobias if you can name the cause of the fear, although the Bach Centre notes that the Bach flower remedy Rock Rose might work better if the phobia causes real terror. If your fear is vague and you have general anxiety and apprehension, the Bach flower remedy Aspen might be a better choice.

Personality Type
-
Choosing a Bach remedy involves taking into consideration not only your emotional state but also your personality type. Mimulus is useful for people who tend to be nervous, timid and shy, according to the Bach Centre.
Considerations
-
Bach flower practitioners believe that it's possible to treat any emotional state by combining the proper remedies. According to the Bach Centre, the key to selecting remedies is to ask how you feel in this moment and consider the type of person you are and then simply select the remedies that match. Taking up to six or seven remedies together is common, and the Bach Centre recommends that most people not use more than six or seven at one time.
