Wild Oat Bach Flower Remedy: Materia Medica Overview

People who need this remedy are talented and have many interests, but they struggle to decide how to use their talents or which path to follow. This indecision causes them to feel despondent and dissatisfied. They have many ambitions and a general idea of what they want to do, but no clear direction. As a result, they feel life is passing them by, and they are wasting time and opportunities. They try many things, but none bring satisfaction. They often drift into uncongenial environments or occupations, which only increases their unhappiness and frustration.

One young man, 26, was deeply interested in human welfare and had a great love for nature and animals but couldn't decide on a career. After leaving school, he worked as a messenger boy, junior salesman, and then joined the army but was discharged after a breakdown. He then went into agriculture but disapproved of the methods used with animals. He became a ward orderly but was unhappy with the use of injections and medicines, feeling they were against nature. Despondent and unhappy, he felt he would never find his true calling. After taking Wild Oat, he gradually decided to start his own small market garden. He is now happy and prosperous.

Another patient wrote, "I know I can do things well, but I do not know what to do. I am in a business that makes a good living, but I do not like it. I have been in five different kinds of business, made money in all, but never enjoyed the work. I work long hours, often starting at 5 a.m., and keep my house clean as well. If I knew what occupation to follow, I could do it, but I do not. I work but find no satisfaction, yet I cannot enjoy being lazy or doing nothing."

The indecision and uncertainty of the Wild Oat type differ from the Scleranthus type. Scleranthus people cannot decide between two definite options, often asking themselves, "Shall I or shall I not?" Wild Oat people have so many ideas and ambitions that they remain indefinite and cannot decide at all. An Irish saying describes this state: "The Irishman does not know what he wants and won't be happy until he gets it."

Dr. Bach also noted that when a patient seems to need many remedies because all their difficulties are prominent, Wild Oat is valuable for those who are despondent, undecided, and easily influenced by people and conditions. Holly, on the other hand, helps those who are active and intense.

The positive aspect of Wild Oat is seen in those who have definite ambitions, know what they want to do in life, and pursue it with determination. They live a life full of usefulness and happiness.

Case Example: Personal Transformation Through Wild Oat 

Mrs. J. A., widow, aged 53, underwent an operation for removal of the gall-bladder six months back and now felt tired and despondent. Her chief trouble, as she said, was inability to decide what she wanted to do. She had many ambitions as a young woman but was achieving nothing. She was in charge of a grocery store and did her work with great efficiency but had lost interest in it. At the moment, she could not “be bothered” and was allowing others to make decisions for her, but this made her feel dissatisfied and unhappy.

Wild Oat was prescribed for the feeling of dissatisfaction and the lack of achievement, and Centaury for the temporary state of allowing others to influence her life. After taking the medicine, she wrote: “I was called upon to face quite a problem and I solved it in a much improved manner. Also, I have met a singing teacher and a painter, both out of the blue. I feel there is a purpose in this for I am most interested in painting and singing.”

Both remedies were repeated. The patient went on holidays a few days after beginning the medicine and forgot to take it with her. On her return she wrote and said she was finishing the bottle, but felt so much better and definite again.
