Bach Flower Essences

Remedies are made by infusing whole blossoms of flowers in a bowl of pure spring water and exposing it to the sun. A little brandy may be added later as a preservative, but there is nothing harmful in these remedies.

Although the 38 Bach Remedies are listed in the Homeopathic Pharmacopoeia and classified as homeopathic medicines, they are both more mysterious in their workings and, being non-toxic and without side effects, safer.

It is impossible to explain exactly how they work – Bach himself resisted analysis of his remedies, maintaining they are “Gifts of God” which should remain “free from science, free from theories, for everything in Nature is simple.” (The Twelve Healers) Basically, the idea is that flower essences can help to clear blockages between the Personality and the Higher Self. The action is always gentle and strengthening.

Today you have been given a Bach Flower Essence. Trust that some part of your Self will be profoundly changed as a result of taking this Flower Essence. At first it may seem subtle or vague, but ultimately it will come to you that some need of yours has been met, you have a fresh clarity of mind, and your horizons have been broadened.

How to take your Bach Flower Remedy:

Take it as often as needed, but at least four drops four times daily. The best method is to put the drops under you tongue directly from the dropper. Hold them in your mouth for a few seconds before swallowing, to gain the full effect. Four drops can also be added to a glass of water and sipped frequently. Please don’t eat, drink or smoke anything for ten minutes before or after taking your remedy.

Caution:

Care should be taken that the dropper does not come in contact with your tongue or lips, otherwise digestive enzymes may be transferred to the mixture in the bottle.

When you have taken all your remedy, return your empty bottle to your therapist for recycling, or perhaps a refill, or a new remedy.

Even if you’re taking your remedy on a regular schedule, it’s acceptable to miss a dose. Bach Flower Remedies are a supportive therapy, which can be taken either at regular times or on an as-needed basis. Because they are non-toxic, Bach Flower Remedies are safe and do not cause harmful side effects; they will not be affected by prescription medication nor will they interact or interfere with such medication. If you have any question about your remedy, please phone your therapist.

Bach Flower Essences will cause shifts in your body-mind-spirit. Give yourself time to reflect, savor and treasure the change.
