Flower Essence Remedies

Flower essence remedies are little bottles of magic, that work gently to balance the mind and the body.

I love using them as a naturopath to gently chip away at underlying emotions, while we work towards treatment goals.

In my clinic I use Bach Flower Remedies however, there are many other different types including Australian Bush Flower Remedies and Living Essence.

How do I use my Flower Essence Remedies?

As I mentioned in my clinic I use the 38 Bach Flower remedies created by Dr Edward Bach. During my consultation with patients I listen to what is concerning them and the possible emotions connected to their presenting complaint. At the end of the consult I will create a mix of 1- 7 remedies to help shift the negative emotions in order to remove obstacles for healing.

There are two different ways to take the remedies. The first is adding 16 drops to a water bottle and sipping through the day. The second is adding 4 drops under the tongue 4 times daily. The water bottle is the easiest way to remember and also helps you to drink more water daily. The flowers work their magic in the background while you go about your days work.

I’ve also used them on anxious pets by adding to there water bowl or dropping a small amount under the tongue.
