Dog Rose: properties, benefits and uses (Australian Flower Essence and Remedy)


Dog Rose is an Australian flower remedy made from Bauera rubioides. Useful for ailments associated with fear and insecurity, it also helps to overcome and avoid nightmares, parasomnia, insomnia. Let’s find out better.


Description of the plant

Bauera rubioides – the shrub is thick and can reach 2 meters in height, and is widespread throughout Australia, with the exception of the western part and the Northern Territory. It blooms in late spring and until summer, with six-petaled deep pink or faded to white flowers, hanging downwards, as if to recall the drooping appearance (posture, shoulders) of defeated, fearful or lacking in energy.

It grows near water, sometimes forming dense thickets, on rocky walls or in wetlands.

Its growth near water binds it to the signature of fear, on which it acts, and to the Kidney Bladder meridian which in Chinese Medicine belong to the element of Water.

Preparation and use

In a 30 ml bottle, combine ¾ of natural water and ¼ of brandy to preserve the product; add 7 drops for each chosen flower. 7 drops of this personal blend are taken under the tongue, morning and evening, upon awakening and before bed.

The drops can also be applied locally as well, combined with neutral cream as a carrier, in the bath water or vaporized in the environment to create a harmonious place. They can also be prepared without brandy, making sure that they do not degrade (if necessary, the preparation is repeated). They can be diluted in a little water or herbal tea, even for children. 

In case of lack of self-esteemFive Corners is recommended, or the association of the two essences, or the use of the Self Confidence compound.
