Crab Apple can be used alone or in combination with other Bach Flower Remedies. The standard dosage is as follows:

For Single Remedy Use:

• Add 2 drops of Crab Apple directly from the stock bottle into a glass of water. Sip throughout the day.
• Alternatively, place 2 drops directly under the tongue 2–4 times a day.

For Combination Remedies:

• Add 2 drops of Crab Apple (along with 2 drops of other selected remedies, up to a total of 7) into a 30ml dropper bottle filled with water and a teaspoon of brandy (as a preservative).

For Topical Use:

• Add a few drops to bathwater for overall cleansing and emotional detox.
• Mix with a skin cream or lotion to support skin-related issues, especially when linked to emotional distress.

When to Use Crab Apple:

Crab Apple is particularly beneficial during moments of intense self-criticism, periods of shame, or when obsessive thoughts about cleanliness and imperfection interfere with well-being. Regular use can help shift focus from flaws to self-acceptance and inner clarity.
