Bach flower remedies offer management of emotions experienced in many life situations. These healing flower essences can be an invaluable self help tool. Consultations on the flower remedies are available as are courses for anyone wishing to learn more.

Bach Flower Therapy

Dr Edward Bach, who discovered the Bach remedies,believed our mental attitude played a part in maintaining health and in recovery from illness.The flower essences allow us to address our emotions should the need arise. 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.

There are times when we all emotionally match the remedy descriptions as they are all normal human responses and being honest about how we are feeling will help us to get the most from the bach system. Rather than suppress our emotions, the flower remedies raise our vibrations to allow us to be reached with positive emotions from the Higher Self.  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. While it is 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. The flower essences are safe to take alongside other treatment and medication.

Therapist Irene Smith, based in Lanarkshire,is a Bach Foundation Registered Practitioner. Consultations consist of two appointments approximately 4 weeks apart.  As the remedies are subtle and more chronic feelings may take time to balance the second review appointment can be very valuable. In some cases a person may feel the treatment bottle has only started working and another bottle of the same remedies will be given at this this time. In other cases a quick response may be experienced and the remedy choice may change over the four weeks. The review appoinment allows for adjustment to the remedy selection for the second treatment bottle.Your investment for Bach Flower Therapy is:

£35 covers two appointments approximately 4 weeks apart (the initial consultation and a review appointment. as it may take a few weeks to see any change.) Payable on the first appointment. Further appointments will follow the same format of £35 for two appointments.
