INFORMATION ON BACH FLOWER REMEDIES
All
flower remedies come in concentrate form and will last indefinitely when stored
at normal room temperature, away from direct sunlight.
Flower
remedies are sold off the shelf in either health food stores or drug stores.
For
use simply use 2 or 3 drops of the concentrate either directly under the tongue
or in a 1/4 glass of liquid and sipped frequently. You may also make up
personal bottles of formula from the different formulas available and take your
drops from there when needed. It is wise not to add in too many at a time - a
limit of 6 formulas per bottle is easily acceptable.
These
remedies can be taken internally by people of all ages without danger of an over
dose or side effects even if you choose the wrong remedy. They can also be used
on pets and plants. They are completely natural and safe and can be taken by
anyone in the family at any time and will not interfere with any medications.
They are designed to help you to manage the emotional demands of everyday life,
the kind of feelings that affect everyday life in the 90's.
How
often you take them depends on you and how you are acting and reacting to any
given circumstances. There is no time limit on it - you may only need to take
them once or you may need to take them over a prolonged period of time,
especially if you have been feeling the same for some time now.
They
work by stimulating the body's own capacity to heal itself, by balancing
negative feelings, helping you to take control, feel good about yourself, and
get more out of life.
Today
more and more medical doctors are acknowledging the connection between mind and
body, between our mental and physical health. Dr Bach was ahead of his time
when he decided to make these formulas and his philosophy in the 1930's was 'A
healthy mind ensures a healthy body'.
Dr
Bach developed a system of seven major emotional groups under which people
could be classified. He categorized 38 negative states of mind under these
groups. Then using his knowledge of homeopathy he formulated a plant or flower
based remedy to treat each of these emotional states - these are the unique
Bach Flower Remedies.
The
Bach Flower Remedies are 38 homeopathically prepared plant and flower based
remedies, each one specially devised to treat a different feeling. The seven
mind states and their respective flower remedies are as follows:
