Flower essence therapy by dr. Bach is a natural medicine method based on the theory that our mental he alth affects the body. Flowers, and more precisely their energy, effectively heal many diseases and conditions.
Flower essence therapy was developed by Dr. Edward Bach - a doctor, homeopath and scientist living at the turn of the 19th and 20th centuries. Dr. Bach was a searching physician - he argued that the knowledge he had learned from school was not always effective enough to be satisfied with it.
He deeply believed that many diseases are rooted inhuman psyche , and internal problems negatively affect not only the patient's well-being, but also his he alth. For many years he was looking for an effective medicine that, in addition to the body, would also heal the soul and allow him to return to emotional balance - and thus to recover.
Dr. Bach: drops, ointment and compresses
The effect of his search is the selection of 38flower essences obtained from wild flowers. Bach distinguished 7 basic emotional groups, all of them are based on anxiety. These include:
- loneliness,
- lack of courage and despair,
- overprotection and excessive concern for others (manifested by excessive involvement in other people's affairs),
- fear, anxiety,
- hypersensitivity,
- insecurity, constant lack of motivation,
- insufficient interest in the present.
Each of these groups is assigned the appropriate essences (from 3 to 8), which make it easier to get rid of specific emotions and allow you to regain control over your own life. A return to mental balance, according to Dr. Bach is the basic condition for regaining he alth. Without it, even if we temporarily fight he alth problems - they will come back over time, if not in the old form, then in a different form. Properly combined essences create mixtures that are used in the form of drops, most often orally, although baths or compresses are equally effective. By applying them in accordance with the therapist's recommendations, with time we start to perceive the environment differently, certain situations do not arouse as many emotions in us as before, we get rid of fears. There are no spells here - the problems of everyday life will not disappear, but we will be able to look at them from a different angle and deal with themdeal with them objectively and rationally.
Dr. Bach: heals not the smell, but the essence
Contrary to appearances, floral essences are not oils, decoctions or extracts, but pure energy obtained from flowers. They are obtained by two methods: thermal (by heating) and solar. The solar method is based on the fact that the collectedflowersare immersed in spring water and exposed to the sun. This "bath" lasts 4 hours. It is best if it happens in the place where the flowers are harvested, i.e. in their natural environment. This is how the "essence - mother" is created, which, after appropriate preparation, is poured into special glass bottles and used to make individual drops. Eighteen selected by dr. Bach flowers - mainly the flowers of trees and shrubs - blooms in early spring, when the natural sunlight is still quite poor. In such cases, the thermal method is used to obtain flower energy - after collecting the inflorescences, they are heated on a slow fire in spring water. The very process of collecting inflorescences also takes place in a specific way - so that plants give off pure energy when producing essences, they cannot come into contact with humans. When cut, they immediately go to the bowls with spring water. The original drops are produced at the Bach Therapy Center in London. From there - packed in original glass bottles with the logo of the Center - they go to natural therapy clinics around the world.
Dr. Bach: a different extract for everyone
Drops, i.e. a mixture composed of several individual essences, is created based on the individual needs of a specific person. To be effective, they should be closely matched to character traits. The therapist individually creates not only drops for the patient, but also selects the form and frequency of their dosing. Most often, you drink 4 drops 4 times a day after mixing them with half a glass of water, but this is not the norm. They can also be added to baths, used as compresses - especially for skin lesions (e.g. eczema), or combined with an ointment (e.g. analgesic) that we use every day. Since the extracts of dr. Bach's are completely natural and safe, there are no contraindications for their use.
First aid drops
Although the drops are selected individually each time, Dr. Edward Bach prepared the so-called rescue drops, which include 5 essences: mirabelle plum, impatiens, clematis, star of Bethlehem and kitten. We use them in cases where it is not possible to select drops individually for a particular person, as well as in difficult and suddenrandom situations, such as illness or death of a loved one, as well as in severe anxiety and emotional tension. The drops soothe emotions and allow you to wait through the most difficult moments. The phenomenon of the essence of dr. Bach is the fact that the drops made of them also have an effect on plants and animals. For example, an exaggerated plant that suffers from a change of environment will be helped by a walnut, as will a person who will have problems adapting to a new place and situation, e.g. to a change of place of residence or work.
According to an expertJoanna Cygan, Reiki Master, certified specialist and therapy instructor dr. BachDr. Bach's flower therapy: there's no magic here
I deeply believe in the effects of Dr. Bach. Although I have been running the Natural Therapy Center for 20 years, where I use it every day, I am still surprised by the excellent results it brings. The essence of the matter is the proper selection of drops. In my opinion, this can only be done on the basis of the therapist's personal contact with the patient, which was also emphasized by the creator of the therapy. I know from many years of experience how important an honest conversation and careful observation are in assessing the internal problems of a human being. Sometimes the way of moving, gestures, facial expressions or voice modulation reveal hidden problems. In the case of people who are very introverted, a specially prepared test can be helpful, which, after completing it, allows you to get to know yourself and discover what is hidden deep in our soul. The drops that I choose are checked again by radiesthesia (using a pendulum) to make sure that their selection was actually correct.
