25. Red Chestnut: The Detachment Flower

German name: Rote Kastanie

Latin name: Aesculus carnea

• You often worry about your friends, family, partner?

• You often experience difficult situations of close relatives or friends like your own and have a lot of pity?

• Do you find it hard to let go of your children as they grow up?

• You can hardly fall asleep in the evening?

• Are you constantly afraid that something might happen to your loved ones?

• By caring for others, do you torment yourself?

Red Chestnut promotes building your own personality boundaries and helps you worry less about and frighten others.
