Flower Remedies : What they are and their use
Flower remedies are not medicines. Specifically, it is the energy/vibration of wildflowers preserved in bottles of spring water and a small amount of alcohol (as a preservative. In case we need to give the remedy to children or animals we can leave out the alcohol but preserve it in a cold environment or in the refrigerator). The flowers are cut at full bloom and placed in a glass bowl with spring water and then are left quietly under the sun for a few hours. The water combined with the sunlight holds the vibration of the flowers. After the 3 hours the water is stored in a bottle with alcohol (1:1). This is called “mother” bottle. From this we create “stock bottles” with a few drops from the mother bottle into 100% alcohol and from the stock bottle of each flower essence we add 4-7 drops to the personalized therapeutic bottle, which is what the person in need takes. Each of the flowers has a different property and its action focuses on releasing emotional, mental and spiritual blockages. As Dr. Bach, who first created flower essences, claims, physical illnesses stem from the emotions, so their effect is also on the physical level.
Flower essences are used in drops: 3-4 times a day, 7 drops under the tongue for a few seconds and then swallowed, or in a glass of water. They are completely harmless for babies, children, adults, pregnant women and elderly people, as well as animals, without any side effects and can be taken with other medicines or homeopathic or herbal remedies safely.
Flower remedies bring out the positive qualities within us, and allow us to replace fear with courage, hate with love, insecurity with confidence, etc., releasing and dissolving our negative beliefs and allowing our positive qualities to flow into the conscious mind. Flower essences act to the extent that one is ready to experience change.
I use and mix flower essences from the Bach, Αustralian Bush Flower Essences, FES collections as well as Flower Essences of the Greek Land by Natura Humana.
