Who can benefit from Bach Flower Remedies?
Everyone can benefit from Bach Flower Remedies! They work equally well on adults, children, and even animals. Flower remedies are such a gentle natural helping hand to address any emotional imbalance within you.
They can help with a range of emotions such as…. anxiety, confidence, anger, energy, depression, loneliness for a few examples. They are an amazing support for all sorts of issues we may face on our life journeys for example toddler tantrums, teenage mood swings, coping with a busy work life, getting to grips with parenthood, fertility, moving, menopause, grief, seeking change, every day stresses, deep rooted fears and much more. I have successfully used bespoke Bach Flower Remedy mixes with clients facing all of these situations and many more.
When may a Bach flower consultation might be beneficial?
o You’re drawn to lots (or all!) of the essences and are unsure which to select
o You’d like new perspectives or points of view on problems you’re looking to overcome
o You’ve successfully self-selected a couple of remedies that have been beneficial, but you now feel you’ve come to a standstill
Bach flower therapy cannot take the place of a professional psychologist or medical treatment. Please seek the right help for your situation.
How do Bach Flower Remedies work?
Flower remedies are about helping bring positive change and uplifting our lives. The remedies work on the principle that the vibrational energy from flowers and plants imprinted into the water they are made in, then taken orally rebalance your body’s energy, working exclusively and directly on an emotional level, to support us through difficult times and to help us to develop and raise our own vibrations to encourage the development of positive emotions, thus if emotional equilibrium can be maintained, the mind and body will remain in a state of health and help your wellbeing thrive.
How do you take Bach flower Remedies?
You take the drops orally by placing the drops into your mouth / under the tongue or in a glass of water using the dropper bottle. It's important to take a minimum of 4 drops, 4 times a day, especially first thing in the morning and last thing at night to see the remedies help you.
How are Bach Flower remedies made?
Two methods are used to make the remedies. Delicate flowers are prepared using the ‘sun method’. Flower heads are picked and placed into a bowl of pure spring water, in direct sunlight, for up to three hours. Woodier plants, are prepared by the ‘boiling method’. and are picked and placed in boiling spring water for half an hour.
Once the heat source of either method has transferred the energy of the flowers into the water, the energised water is mixed with an equal quantity of brandy. This is known as the Mother Tincture. The Mother Tincture is further diluted into brandy, (2 drops per 30 ml of brandy) to make the stock bottles we use to make your blends.
The remedies do not contain any physical part of the plant. Unlike Essential Oils, they do not taste or smell,
As a qualified Bach Practitioner registered with the Bach Centre, it’s important to me that all the treatment bottles I handcraft in Norwich Uk, are created according to how Dr Bach outlined in his research, I will only use Bach Original Flower Remedies which are then combined with spring water and either a very small amount of organic brandy or glycerine (if preferred) to preserve, to keep your blend fresher for longer.
All Bach Flowers are so non-invasive that it is impossible to overdose on them, and if you choose a remedy that is not right for you, it will do you no harm.
How many different Bach Flower Remedies can I choose in my personalised blend bottle?
You may select up to a maximum of 7 flower essences for each remedies bottle. Only choose the essences that you feel speak to you right now. More is not always necessarily better – if you did select an incorrect or too many flower essences, this tends to clouding emotions and therefore makes it harder for the correct remedies to work efficiently.
How long do I need to take my remedy for & How will I know if it is working?
To get the most from your experience with the remedies take them for at least 3 weeks. A follow up appointment can be beneficial after those 3 weeks to see how you have gotten on, as there may be other remedies that surface that may be helpful after this time. However, there is no firm answer, as each person is different. The process is gentle but effective, a passing emotion will respond quicker to the remedies however if you are working on a deep-rooted emotion or changing long-standing feelings these could take longer to work through. Everyone’s journey is different, and we are all unique and why we carefully craft and tailor make your blend especially just for you to address your individual needs.
How can 38 Essences cover all known emotional states of mind?
Dr Bach during his depth of studies determined that there are 38 remedies that address 38 basic states of mind. It has been estimated that choosing up to 7 flower remedies in one dose offers over 2.3 million possible combinations!
Dr Bach said “They are able, like beautiful music, or any gloriously uplifting thing which gives us inspiration, to raise our very natures, and bring us nearer to our Souls: and by that very act, to bring us peace, and relieve our sufferings.”
Can Bach Flower Remedies help with physical conditions?
The remedies treat the person as a whole – supporting your mind and mental outlook, rather than any disease or physical illnesses, however the pursuit of emotional balance should thus then help to support your overall welling. There has been a lot of research on the impact of stress on the body and the interaction between the mind, and the body’ systems, once stressors are removed the body can work more effectively.
Is it safe to take Bach Flower Remedies alongside other kinds of medicine?
Flower remedies are safe and 100% natural and can be taken alongside other medication and won’t interact with them as the active ingredient in a flower remedy is vibrational energy from a plant, they do not contain any physical substance. As with any alternative medicine, it is important to remember that they are not a substitute for professional medical diagnosis or care.
Our regular blend bottles do contain a very small amount of alcohol to preserve your blend (similar to the amount in a banana) but we do offer alcohol free versions, if you have been advised by any medical professional to avoid all traces of alcohol, or if you are a recovering alcoholic.
It is recommended that you consult your GP, Pharmacist, or Health Advisor in the first instance if you have any concerns about physical or mental ailments of any kind, and before consuming any Bach Flower Remedies.
Do you offer alcohol free Bach Flower Remedies?
We do ,Yes! We are able to offer 100% alcohol free remedies made with glycerine and spring water. Rather than our regular remedies which are made with organic brandy and spring water. The use of either organic brandy or glycerine is to preserve the blend and keep your remedy as fresh as possible
If you do require an alcohol free version, simply please let me know prior to mixing your blend for you.
Are there any side effects?
No, they do not cause any side affects, they are 100% natural. They are safe for all to use and to take along side other medications. Bach flowers should never replace these.
In a few rare cases some people, in the first few days have felt a release/increase of emotions, the remedies work by balancing emotional states which means they may release blockages, keep taking your remedies and this will pass in a couple of days.
Why does my bottle only last 3 weeks?
If you do take your remedy at the suggested recommended minimum dose (4 drops, 4 times a day) your bottle should last you around 3 weeks. We add organic brandy or glycerine to your blend to help eliminate bacteria from the liquid but after 3 weeks there is a slight increase risk of contamination after this time.
Can they be helpful for animals?
Bach Flower Remedies are extremely effective on animals, perhaps because they have no preconceived ideas about whether they work! They are gentle, safe and 100% natural. We offer Alcohol free remedies especially for them and I have successfully used remedies with clients’ dogs and cats, as well as on my own pets, to support them through visits to the Vet, trips to the Cattery or Dog Boarding, and also sadly when the time comes to say goodbye.
