Bach Flower Remedies

In the 1920s and 30s, a well-known bacteriologist, physician, pathologist and noted homeopath called Dr. Edward Bach, discovered a system of flower remedies that can help us rediscover the positive side of ourselves. He believed, as many doctors do today, that attitude of mind plays a vital role in maintaining health and recovering from illness. Dr. Bach developed a complete system of 38 flower remedies and also the famous Rescue® Remedy, each prepared from the flowers of wild plants, trees and bushes. The remedies work by treating the individual rather than the disease or its symptoms.

Manage Your Emotions To Fulfill Your Potential
Life can be overwhelming, and at times, we just don't feel like ourselves. We may feel under the weather, tearful, fatigued, stressed, or simply unable to cope. All we need is a little help to get back on track. Dr. Bach saw a person as much more than the outward physical body to be treated. He believed that illness is a message from our inner being calling for change in the way we live. Bach Flower remedies help us to manage our emotions, balancing our negative thoughts and feelings.

What are Bach flowers good for?
Bach Flower remedies are particularly good for dealing with mental and emotional states such as loss, grief, bereavement, loneliness, despair, shyness, anxiety, panic attacks, lack of confidence, and low self-esteem. Clients who use Bach Flower remedies report significant improvements in their mental attitude and outlook, increased confidence, clarity of thought, peacefulness, energy, inner balance, motivation and zest for life.

What should I expect from a session?
On your first visit, you will be encouraged to talk about the issues you are currently facing and to explore your deepest feelings, concerns and fears. Together with the practitioner, you will determine the underlying cause(s) of the problem(s), and the practitioner will then prepare a remedy. This will be a combination of anything up to five flower essences. A consultation usually lasts for about an hour, and follow-up consultations may be needed.
