New Year's is a time to take a break from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. The start of the year is a time to reflect on your body and mind. If you're feeling unwell for some reason, why not try to improve your health this year in a more natural way with the help of plants? We asked lifestyle coordinator Yoko Yamafuji to select flower essences from the Bach Flower Remedies series that you can incorporate into your new year, starting with a fresh mindset.
