Bach Flower Remedies
Dr. Edward Bach (1886-1936) was a prominent physician and Homeopath. He discovered the Bach flower remedies. He was ahead of his time by understanding how emotional states lead to physical illness and disease if left untreated. A fact now recognised by the medical profession. By the end of his life, he identified 38 different flower remedies.
Each remedy is associated with a basic human emotion. Fear, confidence, intolerance and anger are a few of these human emotions. Flower remedies bring our negative emotions back into balance. They show us the way of being by assisting us in our everyday experiences and challenges. You may be familiar with the famous flower remedy that is sold off the shelves called Rescue Remedy. This is a combination of flower remedies to help in stressful situations.
I give each client a personal mix of the remedies when they have a kinesiology treatment so that the emotional work they have done with me, will support them outside of the clinic. However, you don’t need a treatment to identify what you need. Dr. Bach wanted the remedies made available to everyone.
If you would like your own personal bottle of flower remedies made up from the list below, you can choose the remedies that you would like and I will quote you a price, mix them together and post a personal bottle to you. You can email me at paulinepart@gmail.com for more information.
