Upon returning from our summer holiday, I was dismayed to find my beautiful rhododendron reduced to quite a sorry state, looking more dead than alive. It was wilted and dried up by the rainless heavens and burnt by the hot summer sun, causing many leaves to drop off and new growth shoots to be burnt to a cinder.

I immediately prepared a watering can with water into which I put 4 drops of Rescue Remedy for the difficult conditions the poor plant had endured, 2 drops of Willow as it looked so sorry for itself and 2 drops of Hornbeam to help give it an extra boost. I also gave it some Reiki.

Within a day the plant had perked up considerably and within a month it had shed the brown, crusty leaves and began producing new, larger and even stronger looking leaves that it seemed to show off with what I can only describe as a plant's great pride.
