Bach Flower Remedies
Bach Flower Remedies is a gentle and safe system of natural medicine that helps in emotional well-being and physical health. It was developed by Dr Edward Bach, a physician and homeopath, in the 1930s in England.
The 38 Bach Flower Remedies are essences of flowers and plants. They help us recalibrate negative emotions which impact our behaviour and overall well-being.
The safe and gentle remedies do not have side effects. Humans, animals and even plants can be given the remedies.
The flower-based remedies complement allopathic or other holistic healing methods that might already be in use.
I learnt how to use Bach Flower Remedies in 2020 after I saw how wonderfully they helped my cat Cleo adjust to her adoption transition period and her health issues.
I went on to become a professional Bach Flower Remedies’ practitioner. I now work with adult humans, children, and elderly people, and animals (young, adult and geriatric).
I only use the Bach®️ Original Flower Remedies from the United Kingdom to prepare personalised mixes for my clients.
How the Bach Flower Remedies work
Dr Bach believed that emotional well-being was important for overall health. Emotional suffering can affect our health and prevent our body from healing itself. Any trauma or emotions that have been suppressed eventually show up as a physical symptom.
The Bach Remedies gently restore the balance between mind and body. This equilibrium helps the body heal from physical health conditions.
Bach Flower Remedies is an energy healing modality since the energetic essence of the flowers are naturally captured during the preparation process.
