Bach flower remedies are a simple, safe and natural form of healing and have become increasingly popular and the “Rescue Remedy” is promoted to provide natural relief from stress and tension.
This Remedy was created by Dr. Edward Bach, who actually started using the Plant Kingdom (herbs) in the form of homeopathy and later with his Flower Remedies. He searched for Remedies that treated the patient and not the disease and identified 38 healers from the world of flowers. These flowers aim to restore our balance to enable us to cope with the negative emotions we encounter and the daily problems that confront us. His healing system is to treat the person, finding the root of the problem instead of treating the disease. He believed that a healthy mind ensures a healthy body.
I cannot sing enough praise for this Remedy, but you have to explore for yourself which 38 flowers are in tune with your personality and lifestyle. I can’t list all 38 flowers here, but the flowers I find most attractive are:
Agrimony – For those who hide their inner pain behind a carefree facade to realize that letting go is not weakness but a sign of true strength.
Beech – for those who are intolerant of other people’s shortcomings, replace intolerance with tolerance.
Cerato: For those who lack confidence and always seek confirmation from others.
Cherry Plum – for those who are on the verge of a nervous breakdown.
Crab Apple: For those obsessed with cleanliness, self-hatred, and self-disgust
Bach flower remedies are completely natural and extremely safe, with no harmful side effects. You cannot overdose on them and if an inappropriate remedy is taken, it will not cause any ill effects. It can be taken internally by people of all ages, from babies, pets, plants to the elderly.
How Bach Flower Remedies are used:
By mouth: You can take a single Bach Flower Remedy or a combination of up to a maximum of six. Fill a 30ml bottle with pure spring water, add a teaspoon of brandy for preservation, and add 2 drops of each of your chosen remedies. Shake the bottle gently and it is ready to use. The recommended dose is four drops, four times a day, either dripped on the tongue or in a little water.
On the skin – The Remedy can be applied to the lips, behind the ears, on the temples or on the wrists.
Oils and Creams: It can be added to oils, creams, lotions, and ointments.
Baths: Spray a few drops of your chosen flower remedy and delight in its fragrance.
Room Sprays – Great home remedies for sinus infection. Spraying the flower remedy with some essential oils like eucalyptus is a great way to cleanse the surrounding air.
