Flower Essence Therapy

Flower essences are liquid preparations which carry the essential life energies of freshly picked blossoms of flowers infused in water with the power of the sun, then further diluted, potentized, and then preserved with alcohol. Taken a few drops at a time, several times per day, they act as vibrational catalysts to bring about inner growth and activation of our creative forces. 

Flower essences were first developed in 1930’s by Dr. Edward Bach, a Harley Street specialist, pathologist and bacteriologist, who observed that,

• Disease is a sign of imbalances in one’s emotions, attitudes and life direction.
• Genuine well-being only occurs when one is true to one’s spiritual essence and purpose.

He stated “therefore there is no true healing unless there is a change in outlook, peace of mind and inner happiness”.

They can be regarded as emotional palliatives, as antidotes for the tensions and conflicts in our lives, but they also offer us opportunities for deep awareness and release of mental and emotional blockages, allowing fundamental changes in our way of life.

Cayenne (Capsicum Annuum)

 
For those who feel sluggish, stagnant, uncreative, stuck in old routines and resistant to change, Cayenne adds spice to one's life, brings colour back into the cheeks, fire in the eyes and in the belly. Cayenne moves blocked creative energy and brings about the interest and motivation needed for change. Cayenne ignites and sparks the soul with its fiery essence. The individual becomes more awake, and more capable of initiating and sustaining spiritual and emotional development.

The purpose of flower essences is above all to stimulate our consciousness towards inner developments and health.

Although people occasionally notice immediate shifts when taking flower essences, others may experience difficulty perceiving any changes due to the gradual effects flower essences normally take. The flower essences help us to transform specific attitudes, emotions and behavior and thus take responsibility for creating greater wellbeing in our lives.

Flower essences are not cure-alls. Flower essences are intended to be our helpers in aligning our life energy toward healthy growth and development. Flower essences work most effectively as part of an overall program of health enhancement including nourishing diet, relaxation/stress reduction, inner development and appropriate natural medicine therapies as needed.
