Are
they a new healing modality?
Flower
essence remedies have been known for centuries,
but in modern time are most closely associated
with the work of early 20th century English
physician Dr. Edward Bach. Dr. Bach was
a true modern mystic. He perceived with
remarkable insight that various emotional
and personality factors predispose us
to illness. He believed that the dysfunctional
energetic patterns within the subtle body
could be released with help from the essences
of appropriate flowers. Dr. Bach would
take dawn walks in the English countryside,
tasting dew from the petals of various
flowers and noting the changes in his
subtle and physical body. He developed
the Bach Flower Remedies and spurred an
interest in the healing power of flowers.

Are
flower essences used and approved by veterinarians?
Flower essences
are becoming widely used by veterinarians
around the world. “We routinely
prescribe flower essences as a part of
our wellness program for the dogs and
cats brought to our clinic,” says
Dr. Bob Goldstein, VMD. “Conventional
medicine often recommends a tranquilizer,
powerful medicine that dulls and deadens
the emotions. In our clinic, we have developed
an increased awareness of the emotional
and spiritual needs of our patients and
have witnessed first hand how flower essences
address these needs safely and effectively.”
Can
flower essences be harmful?
At a fundamental level, flower
essences represent only positive qualities
and virtues such as faith, hope, unconditional
love, release, acceptance and attunement
to the Divine. They have either a positive
effect or none, and thus are completely
safe, compatible and supportive of all
other modalities.
