“For every minute you remain angry, you give up 60 seconds of peace of mind.” – Ralph Waldo Emerson
“There is no revenge so complete as forgiveness.” – Josh Billings
Holly is one of Dr. Edward Bach’s most transformative remedies, designed to release us from the grip of anger, jealousy, and resentment so we can return to a state of love and peace.
As one of the Second Nineteen remedies, Holly corresponds to emotional conditions that arise in everyday life — those moments of irritation, suspicion, or envy that can consume us if left unresolved.
Deeply connected to the energy of universal love, Holly gently dissolves destructive emotions and helps us reconnect with compassion, joy, and trust in others.
Holly and the Second Nineteen
Dr. Bach divided his 38 remedies into groups. The Second Nineteen address the more surface-level challenges of daily life. While the First Twelve (the “Twelve Healers”) support core personality traits, Holly and its companions in the Second Nineteen are designed to help us navigate immediate emotional upsets.
For those who feel triggered by jealousy, betrayal, or rivalry, Holly brings calm. For those whose hearts are closed by anger or suspicion, it opens the way back to love.
When to Use Holly Bach Flower Remedy
🌿 Emotional Support
Jealousy and envy — comparing yourself to others or resenting their success
Suspicion and mistrust — always questioning motives or expecting betrayal
Anger and hostility — quick temper, irritability, or simmering resentment
Fear of Missing Out (FOMO) — struggling with comparison culture and feelings of lack
Revenge fantasies — when the heart aches for justice but finds no peace in bitterness
🌿 Physical Indications
Flower remedies don’t treat physical illness directly, but Holly is often associated with conditions where emotional heat expresses itself physically:
Allergies that began with prolonged irritability or frustration
High fevers and inflammation reflecting inner conflict
Chronic tension or agitation linked to anger
🌿 Spiritual / Chakra Healing
Holly works powerfully in chakra balancing:
Heart Chakra 💚 – opens the heart, brings forgiveness, compassion, and unconditional love
Throat Chakra 💙 – clears communication, releases harsh words, invites gentle, loving expression
How to Work with Holly in Healing Practices
Beyond taking Holly drops in water (3 drops, sipped throughout the day), you can also work with the remedy through energetic placement techniques.
✨ Place on frontal eminences (forehead area)
✨ Place on the back of the left hand, from last two and a half fingers down to the wrist
✨ Place on the palm of the right hand, from thumb and forefinger down to the wrist
✨ Place on the back of the shoulder, at the waist on the side of the body, and the top of the foot (from ankle to toes)
These placements align Holly’s vibration with the body’s energy meridians, amplifying its heart-healing qualities.
Holly Affirmations
Pairing affirmations with Holly magnifies its effect, reprogramming the mind and heart towards love:
💚 I AM at one with the world
💚 I open my heart to others
💚 I radiate love, joy & happiness
💚 I love to see others succeed
💚 I deserve the love of others
Repeat these daily while taking Holly, visualizing green and pink light radiating from your heart center.
The Lesson of Holly – Love as the Highest Protection
Holly teaches us that anger and jealousy are distortions of the soul’s longing for love.
When we feel cut off from love — whether by betrayal, disappointment, or comparison — we lash out, often unconsciously.
But Holly shows us a higher path: love is not dependent on what others give, but on what flows from within us.
Forgiveness doesn’t excuse the harm, but it frees us from being tied to it. In releasing resentment, we reclaim our peace.
In this way, Holly is not only a remedy for jealousy and anger, but also a profound teacher of spiritual wholeness.
Closing Reflection
Every human heart longs for connection, trust, and love. Yet jealousy, suspicion, and anger can quickly close us off from the very things we desire most.
With Holly, we are reminded that peace is a choice, forgiveness is strength, and love is our natural state.
By embracing Holly, we invite healing for ourselves and others — returning to the truth that in giving love, we also receive it.
🌿 Holly – From anger to acceptance, from jealousy to joy, from bitterness to boundless love. 🌿
