Flower Remedies

  • Bach Flower Remedies were discovered in the 1930′s by Dr. Edward Bach, a British physician and pioneer in the fields of bacteriology and vaccines. Dr. Bach always felt there was something missing in the conventional medical field, in that the body was being treated, while the patient himself was being ignored and may still have been in a state of distress after the physical illness had been cured.

    It was During World War I, while he was in charge of 400 war beds, that he began to observe the effects that stress and trauma had on the recovery potential of his patients, observing that the soldiers who were more hopeful seemed to recover more fully.

    This confirmed his belief that our emotions affect our physical health and overall well-being. Though he made advances toward a new kind of medicine, being awarded for his work in vaccines and for the discovery the “Bach nosodes”, he was still dissatisfied with what he could offer his patients.

    Dr. Bach shared homeopathy’s view that the body has an innate, self-healing mechanism. He believed that if he could heal the patient of his negative emotional state, the body would no longer be inhibited by emotional blockage and the body would then be free to heal itself. He gave up his successful practice in London and moved to the English countryside, where he discovered the healing power contained in flowering plants and trees.

    Dr. Bach spent years developing and testing his flower remedies on patients. There are many case histories published of his successful treatment of physical illness with the corresponding remedy for the emotional state. With his new healing system, only the person’s outlook and emotional state were used as a guide to the prescription and remedy choice. His system includes 38 essences in all and are considered complete, in that each essence addresses a specific issue in the emotional spectrum we all experience as human beings.

    His flower essences have had a devoted following since the 1930’s because they offer a safe and effective way to balance the emotions and relieve stress, bringing us back into alignment with ourselves.

  • Flower essences (plant medicine) have been used for centuries across many ancient cultures and have since been brought to the Western world by a medical doctor who saw early on what conventional medicine is finally starting to recognize. There is a mind-body connection. Western medicine doctors are now recommending meditation and yoga for their chronically ill patients. They recognize that our bodies, minds, and emotions all play a part in our overall health and well-bring.

    Bach Flower Essence Therapy can be considered preventative medicine in that it aims to treat emotional imbalances before they can go deeper into the body. Once emotional balance is restored, the body’s innate, self-healing ability can be restored as well. Bach Flower Remedies have been known to treat certain complaints which are believed to have an emotional component, such as migraines, back pain, allergies, fatigue and eczema among others.

    We have all been raised with the idea that if something is wrong, it must be eradicated or suppressed. We take antibiotics, anti-depressants, ant-acids, etc. ‘Anti’ means against, and this is a common philosophy we are raised with…to fight against illness.

    But to understand how flower remedies work, we must shift our perspective. Rather than suppressing a negative quality, flower remedies work by encouraging the positive aspects of our personalities to blossom. When we are restored to the positive and peaceful people we are capable of being, the negative symptoms just dissipate.

    For example, the remedy Holly is given for hatred and jealousy. When we take Holly, it works not by fighting against these strong negative emotions, but by cultivating within us the virtues of compassion and love. In the presence of compassion and love, jealousy and hatred can no longer exist and these symptoms simply vanish.

  • Health is not just an absence of physical pain or discomfort. The definition of health is true freedom from limitations - mental, emotional, physical, and spiritual.

    Flower remedies can certainly help those who wish to improve their physical health by lowering stress and cortisol levels - which is a large cause of inflammation and pain - but they offer so much more than that.

    The ultimate aim of this system of plant medicine healing is life satisfaction, contentment, joy, and peace of mind. These remedies help us to live our lives in the way we were meant to.

    Flower remedies allow us to find balance within - regardless of external circumstances - so that we may fulfill our life’s purpose with love, happiness and freedom from all the limiting influences we may encounter along the way.

Our sessions together will be dedicated to assessing your current state of being and creating an individualized remedy tailored to fit your unique needs and goals of personal wellness. Once one goal is met, we will adjust your customized remedy to honor the change being made.

Targeted

When the momentum behind negative thoughts and emotions (energy/vibration) is strong, it manifests into physical symptoms (dis-ease). Flower essences target the root cause of these symptoms by enhancing the positive aspects of our human nature, thereby diminishing the negative symptoms we may experience.

Integrative

Since my approach to achieving wellness is holistic in nature, I’ll be guiding you toward other helpful practices, tools, tips, and tricks to aid you in your journey to equilibrium. Flower essences are easy to use and integrate well into any routine or ritual you may already have.
