Flower Essence Therapy
Bach Flower Remedies are the ultimate stress management system. They are a simple but complete and profound system of healing that consists of 38 Remedies. Each of these remedies is prepared from the flowers of wild plants, trees or bushes. They work by balancing emotions and alleviating negative states of mind.
In a true holistic manner, the individual is treated and restored to balance by taking the remedies appropriate to their state of mind. Neither the disease nor the symptoms of the disease are treated directly. By correcting the emotional state with the appropriate remedies, we are able to cope better and our body's own natural healing abilities can be stimulated. With our mind cleared, our systems are free to fully engage in fighting the disease or maintaining our health.
What are the Bach Flower Remedies?
Bach Flower Remedies were discovered by Dr. Edward Bach and are tinctures made from non-poisonous wild flowers. Each remedy is made by placing the flowering head of the chosen plant into spring water and allowing or causing the transference of their healing properties into the water. The actual plant material is then discarded and a preservative is added to the remaining water to create the Mother Tincture. In this regard, one must understand that no physical part of the plant remains once preparation is complete and as such no physical part of the plant is ingested. As a result of this, the remedies are totally safe; they have no unwanted side effects and are completely non-addictive.
They can be taken on their own or at the same time as one is undergoing other treatments or medicines and they will not conflict. In fact, due to their complementary nature, they will enhance the benefits of other treatments and hasten recovery. Consequently, they can be used safely by anyone from a very young baby through to the elderly, even for your pets and plants!
Who was Dr. Edward Bach?
Dr. Edward Bach was a noted British physician, bacteriologist, homeopath and researcher who dedicated his life to finding and developing the purest methods of healing. Although he had great successes in orthodox medicine, he came to dislike how it focused on curing symptoms only and felt this did not address the real cause of illness. His continuous research, his contact with homeopathy and his own ill health led him to the conviction that it was the person who should be treated and not the illness.
This resulted from his conclusion that the attitude of the mind and a person's temperament played a vital role in maintaining good health and/or recovering from illness.
Bach was so certain of his beliefs that he gave up a lucrative medical practice in London and solely dedicated his time to completing and documenting the simplest and most natural system of healing he could find; the Bach Flower Remedies.
Is it a New Therapy?
Today, rather than just addressing symptoms of an illness, more medical professionals seem to be recognizing that our physical health depends upon our way of thinking, our feelings and our emotions. In this regard, it may seem that Bach Flower Remedies are a recent discovery to align with this way of thinking. In actual fact, Bach completed his work on the Remedies in 1935 and before his passing declared them to be "the medicine of the future", applicable for all time and all people. Thus, there is a documented history of a successful and beneficial track record of more than 65 years. Health practitioners, therapists, counsellors, dentists, vets, and individuals use the Bach Flower Remedies worldwide.
What will a treatment be like?
Initially, it will be necessary for you to have a consultation with the Bach Flower Practitioner in order to establish the best remedy or remedies for your situation. During the consultation, you will be asked to provide information about your emotions, feelings, reactions or responses to situations, personality traits and how the condition
you are looking to address affects you. Do not be afraid to mention something that you may think is unusual or unimportant, however the most emphasis should be placed on those traits or situations that are causing you the most unhappiness or distress. Remember that anything you say is treated in strict confidence.
The appropriate remedies will then be selected based on the information provided and a treatment bottle prepared.
By taking the remedies regularly as instructed, it should take approximately 3 weeks to consume the contents of the treatment bottle. A follow up session to review and re-evaluate the combination of remedies in your treatment bottle should be arranged for 3 weeks or an appointment should be made prior to the finish of the contents of the treatment bottle.
What Can I Expect to Happen?
By taking your remedy regularly and consistently, you should notice some changes such as new ways of thinking or new ideas, a more objective outlook, more accepting, better response to other therapies etc. People often experience feelings of exceptional well-being and optimism. It occasionally happens that some conditions appear worse for a short period of time. This is part of the healing process and is still the remedy taking effect increasing the person's awareness.
If you feel worried by any changes that you notice, then you should contact your practitioner for advice.
How long is the Course of Treatment?
Each person and every situation is unique and therefore a definitive time frame cannot be predicted. Emotions which are passing or which are recent developments can be dealt with quicker than long-standing, deep routed problems. Healing with respect to the latter category will naturally take more work. It will be a much more gradual process as over time varying emotions will present themselves for treatment.
