Bach Flower Remedies

THIS TREATMENT IS CURRENTLY AVAILABLE IN OUR HARROGATE BRANCH WITH ANGIE HUBY.

Dr. Edward Bach, a qualified physician and bacteriologist (1880-1936) discovered and originated his 38 flower essences as he increasingly came to understand the link between emotional states and illness. The use of flower remedies is similar to homeopathy, as both treat the whole person, not just the symptoms. Flower essences are basically the life-force energy of certain plants collected at the height of their vitality and placed in water in constant sunlight for several hours. They are self-adjusting and have no harmful side-effects whatsoever.

Traditional medicine, and most of us, now recognise that stress, difficult life events and negative emotional states can have a profound effect on health and lower our resistance to disease considerably. Each of the remedies is associated with a particular negative emotional state and works to rebalance the emotions accordingly, leading to improved mental and physical health and wellbeing.

In an initial consultation, you will simply need to talk about yourself and your life for a while, so that a picture of you, your life and your emotional make-up is ascertained, and the correct remedy or remedies prescribed accordingly. You will receive a 30ml dropper bottle containing the essences diluted in spring water, and instructions on how and when to take them. At the next appointment, your progress and response is reviewed and the prescription altered, continued or stopped as necessary. The benefits work subtly and gently but can be profound.
