What are Bach flowers and what are their use, but most of all do they really work?
Bach flowers are 39 flowertherapy remedies created by Dr. Bach, who identified 39 useful essences to unblock the reactive strength of a person.
Bach believed that physical health and mood very not separate but that they actually worked together, consequently his flowers work on both sides, each remedy is indicate for different personalities, produces effects & works on emotions in different ways. According to Bach certain people are inclined towards certain emotions rather than others. He therefore indicated the most ideal flower remedy for each and every mood, he claimed for example that a person who feared losing control could never be treated in the same way as a person who wanted to overcome any type of trauma. Currently they have become incredibly famous all over the world amongst those who believe that curing themselves through these remedies could lead them to getting to know themselves better & deeper right through the careful selection of the remedy itself.
Bach flowers do not cure the disease, but are used to unblock the reactive strength a person has within and release the inner strength and energy to help us reach a positive change. Each and every essence works on the rebalance of the negative emotional attitudes which according to Bach promote the various disorders. They are particularly indicated for children, because the don’t have any side effects, don’t create dependance and don’t lead to overdose, but not having any preconceptions children react in a quick and long lasting manner to the remedy. No particular contraindications are listed, except a sort of awareness crisis, which consists of the increase of the symptoms before curing.
Bach split the 38 flowers he discovered in 7 different groups according to their healing characteristics. Therefore according to Bach we have flowers for fear, uncertainty, solitude, insufficient interest towards the present, hypersensitivity towards influences and ideas, discouragement and despair and finally for the excessive worrying towards others’ wellbeing. Always according to Bach, hence through flower therapy one can solve problems related to stress, shyness, anxiety, panic, guilt, insecurity and depression, and by rebalancing these emotions one consequently resolves problems related to colitis, muscle stiffness, fatigue, psoriasis and nervous gastritis.
Doctor Bach started curing his seriously ill wife with what he believed to be natural remedies, he claimed to feel the healing power of the flowers just by placing them on the tongue, and believed that the essences were prepared in a certain way with a certain method, his wife healed from the afflicting disease although she died not long after but for other reasons. Nowadays those who produce Bach flowers like to emphasize that they are wildflowers, must be exposed to direct sunlight for a certain amount of hours and in order to create the essences they must be mixed with pure natural brandy. Infact the prepared essences are diluted in brandy and water. After some time the 39th remedy was brought to life, it is also known as the emergency remedy were various essences are mixed together giving life to a sort of flower therapy first aid emergency cure.
One of his famous quotes encloses all his work done:
“All we have to do
is preserve our personality,
to live our own life,
be captain of our own ship,
and all will be well.”
Many people are fans of this type of cure but also many are against and talk bad about this cure because their is no scientific proof that it works, they also say that this method is rather absurd and most of all the ineffectiveness of the essences, what we can be sure about is that various scientific researches and studies proved how the human being is capable of self-healing himself/herself if he/she strongly believes in it, therefore even through the so called placebo remedies, than how this can intervene with Bach flowers it is not up to us to decide. Following the discovery or better the creation of the so called Bach flowers many other types of flower therapy remedies have sprung all over the world and currently we can find remedies made from Californian, Australian, Alaskan flowers and so on.
