Flower Essences

(please click the headings below for more details)

Flower essences are dilute liquid extracts of various flowers and plants used to treat people and animals, similar to the principles of homeopathy. They are made by infusing plant parts in spring water and then adding alcohol as a preservative. Each liquid preparation carries the imprint of a specific plant that speaks a subtle language that works on the root causes of disease.  The essences are used internally, several drops at a time.

This approach was first developed in England in the 1930s by an English physician named Dr. Edward Bach. He believed that disease was the result of imbalance or negativity at the level of the soul and that flower remedies could act to balance this disharmony on an emotional and spiritual level.

The underlying philosophy focuses on stabilizing emotions in order to dissipate illness and stimulate internal healing processes.
