Bach Flower Remedy


Holistic Support Supplement: Bach Flower Remedy.

I first heard about Bach Flower Therapy during one of my Reiki Class about 7 yrs ago. Till date I have personally never used it, but I have Patients and Friends who vouch by the therapy. Works for them within 5 mins of the oral intake. They emotionally feel stronger, calms nerves. On someday the effect is mellow, while on other days it can be dramatic. For those who may not know what Bach Flower therapy is, here goes a mini Intro.

Dr Edward Bach an Allopathic Doctor, over a decade ago moved away from his successful Medical profession to focus on a patients holistic needs. He noticed a strong correlation between emotions and illness. Every illness had a negative emotion attached to it. Every Flower petal has a kind of positive calming effect on the nerves.  There are about 38 types of negative emotions attached to different types of illnesses. So there are 38 Bach Flower remedies.


Though I personally believe that its not a permanent solution, but its better than taking allopathic drugs. You can also use it for a while, till you feel the need and slowly wean away. A special combination of 5 Bach Flower remedies known as rescue remedy is also used during emergencies like panic attack, stress and anxiety. Just like Homeopathy, they are also known as -Vibrational Medicine

Word of Caution: Though I feel that this remedy is harmless, like any other food intake, you may have an allergic reaction towards the product. Please check with your regular doctor before taking this.

Bach flower remedies can also be used on pets other domestic animals
