Dr. Edward Bach, founder of the Bach Flower Remediesä believed that our mental attitude played a part in maintaining health and recovery from illness should it occur. The remedies are also a preventative measure in maintaining health allowing us to address our emotions should the need arise. He saw his system of remedies as the medicine of the future, hoping that everyone would come to keep the remedies in the home. If you got up with that Monday morning feeling you could take Hornbeam; impatience could be treated with Impatiens; a lack of confidence assisted by Larch. There are 38 remedies in total, which can be taken in combination for whatever emotional state we find ourselves in.
To get the best from the remedies, its helpful to adopt the viewpoint that there are no undesirable states. There are times in our lives when we all emotionally match the remedy descriptions as they are all normal human responses. The remedies don't suppress troubling emotions but raise our vibrations to allow us to be reached with positive emotions from the Higher Self; our superconscious floods us with the positive emotion assisting us on regaining harmony with our soul self.
The remedies are safe to take alongside other treatment and medication. If we can see our difficulties building up like the layers on an onion, the remedies work by peeling away the surface emotions for the next layer to emerge. Acute feelings respond quicker while chronic feelings may take time to balance. Primarily a self help system, there may be times when we feel we need a little more help. Consultations with a practitioner may assist at such times.
Irene is a Bach Foundation Registered Practitioner. Consultations consist of an initial appointment with an optional review up to 4 weeks later. As the remedies are subtle and more chronic feelings may take time to balance, the review can be very valuable but is optional rather than mandatory as the person is always in charge of how much treatment they choose to have. Your investment is:
- Initial Consultation £25. The treatment bottle of remedies usually lasts 3 to 4 weeks.
- Optional Review (available for up to 4 weeks from the initial consultation) £10. This includes a second treatment bottle giving 6 to 8 weeks treatment in total from the initial consultation.
After two appointments more obvious changes may have taken place. Further consultations would start again as outlined above with a consultation fee of £25 and an optional review £10.
