What are Bach Flower Remedies 

Busy lives leave people today separated from nature, not only in a physical way, but in the mind and heart as well.  Flower essences are unique in that they bring the individual back to nature and supply what is most needed; nurturing the body with pure, untainted life-force of nature.  Flower essences are known for bringing about a renewal of positive energy, relaxation and well being.  An English physician, late Dr Edward Bach; discovered the healing energies of selected flowering plants and trees.  Bach was inspired to turn to nature for gentle, non- invasive and non-toxic essences that would bring about harmony and restore balance in the mind and body.  Since 1936, the essences have been used world wide either alone as a healing system, or in conjunction with other methods of healing. 

Flower essences recharge the system with the life-force of nature.  This renewal of energy has a profound healing affect.  Each essence is selected as a response to a different negative state of mind and to suit the individual's specific need and character.  For example: Perhaps the difficulty in a person's personality that needs treatment is fear: since the flower essence Mimulus is an embodiment of the energetic blueprint of courage, ingesting it will supply the courage that this personality is lacking.  In addition, through the process of resonance, the influence of Mimulus will form a "bridge" to the higher self; this is where all true potential lies.  Mimulus will then reactivate previously inaccessible reserves of courage.  The beauty of flower essences is that they do not interfere with the mind, as chemical drugs do, leaving the person free to grow and solve problems in a healthier way. 

Flower essences are simple and anyone can appreciate their benefits.  They bring about the resolution of everyday stress, inspiring calm, balance, strength, the ability to cope better, solve problems and pace yourself.  Flower essences encourage playfulness of spirit that helps recharge batteries and to restore much needed resilience, acting as a buffer against the ups and downs of life.  Flower essences can also bring self awareness and with it knowledge of your path in life, which is essential to happiness and health.

Bach Flowers for Animals

Animals have as diverse personalities as us; anyone who has ever had a pet will tell you what they look like and how they act.  They learn, feel and respond in individual ways to the world they live in.  Happy and content animals enjoy life and have fewer health problems.  But because animals are individuals they also suffer from negative feelings, such as fear and loneliness and these emotions can impact on their behaviour and overall well-being.  The suggestions below are only some of the area's Bach flower essences can help.

If animals are:
Timid and shy, or frightened of strangers, or loud noises
Have suffered shock or distress, perhaps at the hands of a previous owner
Is full of energy, overly excitable and highly strung
Has trouble adjusting to change such as re-homing, pregnancy, or
introduction of another animal to the household
Not adjusting to training of bad habits
Lacks self confidence
