What are flower essences?
Flower essences are extracts made by placing flowers in the water and adjusting the mixture to the sun. The heat from the Sun causes flowers to release their healing properties into the water. The extract is processed by several additional steps and preserved using brandy. The therapy of flower essence is a form of vibrational recovery first discovered by an English doctor named Dr. Edward Bach. This alternative healing method is used in the treatment of physical and emotional disorders.
Bach was one of the first doctors to realize that there was a link between physical and emotional health. He created 38 floral essences to treat emotional problems that are the basis of physical disorders. Dr. Bach believed that the flowers contain a life force that could be extracted and used to help treat the imbalance that causes disease. Many people believe that the original 38 essences can alleviate virtually any condition in both humans and animals. Several drops are placed under the tongue for quick absorption. Drops aresometimes added to the water for a person or animal to drink.
different floral essences are used to treat different diseases. Rescue Remedy is a popular formula made of five remedies of Bach Flower. It is sold in most health food stores as treatment of stress, fear, trauma and shock. This medicine consists of the essence of Rock Rose, Bethlehem Stars, Clematis, Cherry Plum and Impatiens.
Rock Rose is a panic treatment and a star of Bethlehem is used for trauma. It is assumed that the essence of Clematis will maintain a person grounded and prevent fainting, while Cherry Plum will help one remain under control. Impatiens rounds the formula with tension and stress treatment. A few drops of rescue remedial measures are added to the water and the person in the crisis of the mixture is added. Many people believe in the rescue of hats provides rapid and effective relief when stressed, and is also given to animals undergoing stress or trauma.
Although the placement of a mixture of water and flower on the sun is the most popular way of extraction of floral essences, it is not always possible. Dr. Bach also invented the boiling method to extract floral essences. If the sun does not cut, or when it is too cold to use the Sun method, this method can be used.
