Treat the cause not the effect
Edward Bach, a British physician, created modern flower essences or flower remedies in the 1930s. According to Bach, flowers have vibrational healing properties that positively affect individuals’ emotional health and stability. Flower remedies are natural extracts from wild plants and flowers preserved in brandy. They are a safe, gentle, and holistic approach to emotional balance.
Each flower remedy is specifically designed to address different emotional states. For instance, there’s a remedy called “Mimulus” that helps you overcome your fears, “White Chestnut” for unwanted and repetitive thoughts that intrude into the mind and stop us concentrating, and “Rock Rose,” helpful in times of crisis, particularly if you suffer from panic attacks or extreme anxiety.
Flower Remedies work by helping balance negative emotions you might experience that interfere with your equilibrium, such as anxiousness, fear, uncertainty, worry, and lack of confidence. These natural remedies help restore balance in the body’s energy system, which in turn supports emotional health.
