More insights into Oak
Energetically, Oak supports your inner roots, helping you stay grounded without becoming rigid or overburdened.

Dr Bach’s description of Oak
Dr Bach described Oak as a remedy for those who:
* fight on in the face of great difficulty
* refuse to give up even when exhausted
* carry heavy burdens without complaint
* feel duty-bound to keep going at all costs
He believed that Oak people are admirable for their strength, but need help recognising when enough is enough.
According to Dr Bach, Oak does not weaken you. It brings balance so that your strength becomes sustainable rather than self-destructive.
In Dr Bach’s spirit, Oak helps you remain strong while learning the wisdom of rest.
