Bach Flower Remedies

Bach Flower Remedies are extremely dilute concentrations of preserved water that has been infused with energies from the petals of flowers selected by Dr. Bach for their healing properties.

Specific remedies are selected for a person (animal, or plant) according to that patient's emotions - rather than according to his/her physical symptoms.
Use of the Bach Flower Remedies is a very gentle form of energy-medicine based healing.

For information about specific remedies see List of Bach Flower Remedies.

History of Bach Flower Remedies:

Dr. Edward Bach was a medical doctor and researcher who developed both the system of healing associated with the Bach Flower Remedies, and also it's underlying philosopy:

"Science is tending to show that life is harmony - a state of being in tune - and that disease is discord or a condition when a part of the whole is not vibrating in unison."
Dr. Edward Bach addressing the British Homeopathic Society in November 1928.

What does a Bach Flower Remedies Consultation / Treatment involve? :

A Bach Flower Remedies Consultation may last between about 45 and 120 minutes because the practitioner may request detailed information about the client's feelings about his/her life-situation. This is because it is ones emotions that determine the appropriate choice of (combination of) Bach Flower Remedies.

Some of the remedies might at first seem to be indicated by very similar emotional states (e.g. there are remedies for 5 different types of fear). Hence, the consultation must be detailed in order for the practitioner to establish which combination of the possible remedies is most appropriate for the client, at that particular time.

Following the consultation, the practitioner may provide the client with a treatment bottle containing the client's ideal combination of remedies as indicated at that time. Alternatively, some practitioners prefer to invite their clients to make up their own treatment bottle in order that they experience the simplicity of the system for themselves, and so that they are able to prepare a follow-on bottle of the same type if they wish to do so later (without the need of another consultation).
However, consultations do not necessarily include provision of remedies or treatment bottles - in some cases practitioners may offer their knowledge and experience but encourage their clients to obtain remedies for themselves seperately afterwards.

(As with all therapies, it is adviseable to ask the practitioner exactly what is required and provided in advance of arranging a treatment or consultation.)
