They work by using the specific electromagnetic energy contained in each different and unique plant. The energy of the plant is contained in a most pure and strong form in the flower. By infusing or steeping the flowers in spring water in the sun, this energy or vibration is then transferred to the water which becomes the mother tincture of the plant or flower essence.
"When the person takes the flower essence, the vibration is then passed on from the flower essence to the patient. It is merely transference of energy from one form to another."The energy transferred to the patient can be used for specific states of mind or for maladies that may have their roots in emotional disharmony. The energy works on the negative energy state of the mind, aura or body, giving balance and ease from stress and suffering.
The development of Flower Essences is credited to Dr Edward Bach, a British homeopath and physician in the 1930s with a genius for research who worked in immunology and vaccine development.
He became discontented with medicines focus on the unnatural approach, feeling modern medicine was too impersonal and did not take into account an individuals personal traits. He believed the cause of disease was not merely physical, but an imbalance or conflict in the spiritual and mental aspects of the personality, which then caused the body to be sapped of vital energy and power, thereby leading to the development of disease.
In 1930 he left his Harley Street practice & began searching the native countryside for plants and flowers & researching their healing properties. He used himself as part of the experiment to feel & experience the energy of the plant and discovered 38 plant remedies which balance emotions such as fear, loneliness, over concern, shock, grief and terror. Bach saw himself as an instrument of God and Nature.
The Bach Flower centre in England still exists today making flower essences & treating people successfully
Today, there are many different systems of Flower Remedies. In Australia, they are known as Bush Flower Essences or Australian Bush Remedies.
Each different substance or flower vibrates at different frequencies thereby providing different effects. They may affect the psychogenic aspects of physical illness, the personality of the person, their outlook and temperament.
Flower essences work on the mental, spiritual and psychological levels of a person's psyche.
With over 35 years of health care experience in nursing, general practice, paediatrics, rehabilitation and geriatrics my experience has given me a broad knowledge and understanding of health care needs. My frustration with the inadequacies of the orthodox way of treating illness lead to further study and training in nutrition, botanical medicine, iridology and remedial massage and in establishing my naturopath clinic on the Central Coast of NSW Australia. I now offer the best of both worlds in terms of information, education, lifestyle modification, medication, herbal medicine and body therapies.
