Buddleia Davidii: A Healing Remedy for Deep Seated Trauma

Eileen Scullion • May 26, 2025

Lately, I’ve been prescribing Buddleia Davidii (Butterfly Bush)* more and more in my practice, and the results have been nothing short of remarkable.


I’ve seen beautiful transformations in my clients after they began taking this remedy, healing from deep trauma they once thought impossible to overcome.


Like the plant, with its vibrant blossoms attracting butterflies, it mirrors its role in healing — bringing beauty, strength, and renewal to those in need of emotional and physical healing.


Here’s a closer look at the conditions where Buddleia Davidii has made a significant impact.


Healing shock and deep trauma


One of the most powerful aspects of Buddleia Davidii is its ability to heal deep-rooted trauma. Many people carry emotional scars that aren’t just psychological - they’re energetic. This remedy works deeply in the auric field, supporting the release of trauma held in the tissues or even passed down through ancestral lines.

Whether the shock or trauma is recent or dates back from long ago, Buddleia Davidii gently supports the body in healing those old wounds allowing individuals to release what has been holding them back.

Emotional and psychological support

Trauma often leaves us feeling stuck, overwhelmed or emotionally paralysed. Buddleia Davidii is a remedy that helps lift those states, especially for people who struggle to express their feelings. It’s incredibly beneficial for people who are sensitive, overwhelmed, or have difficulty setting boundaries. If you feel rushed, hurried, or off-balance, this remedy helps restore a sense of stability and calm.

Physical trauma and nervous system support

Buddleia Davidii doesn’t just help emotionally - it has a marked impact on the body, especially the nervous system. I’ve seen wonderful results using this remedy in cases of birth trauma, particularly where forceps or medical interventions were involved.


It’s also beneficial for lingering issues after anesthesia, surgery, or head and spinal injuries. When trauma has imprinted itself physically, this remedy gently works to unwind that tension and support physical recovery.

Hormonal shifts and life transitions

Another powerful use for Buddleia Davidii is in supporting hormonal transitions. Whether it’s puberty, pregnancy, or menopause, this remedy helps ease the emotional upheaval that can accompany these stages.


I often consider it for clients who have a history of difficult menstruation or unresolved negative relationships with their mother. It helps to smooth out the emotional and physical challenges that can arise during these stages of life. 

Calming deep fears and anxiety

This remedy is also incredibly helpful for managing deep-seated fear and anxiety. I’ve seen it ease fears around medical procedures, hospitals, and even inherited anxieties or fear of the dark.

When fear is more than just worry this remedy offers a grounding, stabilising energy that brings comfort and reassurance.

Supporting fluid balance and kidney energy

While less commonly known, Buddleia Davidii can also help with fluid retention and oedema, especially when linked to weak kidney energy. If you experience swelling or the sensation of being “waterlogged,” this remedy may help your body gently release and restore natural balance.


Does this remedy resonate with you?

If you’ve been carrying trauma, navigating emotional blocks, or feeling out of balance physically or spiritually, Buddleia Davidii is one of many remedies that can help. 


Every case is unique, and while this post outlines a small part of what Buddleia Davidii can do, homeopathy is most effective when remedies are matched to your specific needs.
