They are pioneered by an English Harley Street doctor named Edward Bach. They work in same way homeopathy works. Doctor Bach found that thirty eight flowers had remarkable properties for removing various ailments. It's the resonance from the flower essence invoking a response from the patient through corresponding harmonic frequency. Here we are again talking about frequency. Everything is energy and that means that everything is frequency too.

Hope it helps.

Hi Yin I am a Bach Practictioner and would be happy to answer questions . It`s late and I`m ready to crash but I wanted to let you know I`m hearing you.

Tomorrow I`ll answer your question as well as I can! Have a great night.

Ok Yin, ya got me and I can`t sleep without at least attempting a brief answer .

Flower essences are potentized flowers used to heal on the soul level. It is believed dis-ease has a deeper cause than the physical. The physical manifestation is but the result of a soul disturbance.

It differs from Homeopathy as Homeopathy treats the physical manifestation and the Remedies goes to the deepest soul level cause and heals within.

They will not cure cancer nor regrow a limb, but the lifesaving properties of the Remedies can restore complete balance with the soul and physical so that one will never get the cancer in the first place.

Gia, Dr. Bach worked with Homeopathy and the Law of Similars and had perfected the more modern Homeopathic remedies of bacteriological origin and stated : the flower remedies are closer to Homeopathy than anything else.

NO home should be without Rescue Remedy!

If you wish to ask more questions, I`m here.

Thank you Gia and Juniperb for responding!
I have a couple of questions:

What is the rescue remedy, Juni?

Is there a web site I can educate myself about Bach's flower tinctures?

I totally agree on almost everything you said. However, since I happen to be with a very well known homeopathic practitioner, I can tell you for sure that homeopathy is often used to prevent any symtoms before they even become physical. This again works on the energetic level [ soul frequency ] if that is what you wish to call it. I totally love Rescue Remedy which is also available as a cream and is great for shocks and nervous upsets. I would imagine the tonic is more powerful - am I right Juni?

I love the flower remedies and wish more people were open to trying them out. It's
a shame to me that people take toxic medications like candy when often other things are more helpful.

Juni - may I also ask you another question since you have such a comprehensive knowledge on Bach?

Is it true that Vervain taken in Bach form, can and does increase psychic awareness? Have you any research on this matter at all?

yin, you`re welcome

I like this site because it`s informative with out being overwhelming.
http://www.globalherbalsupplies.com/bfr/information.htm

Gia, I agree with you that Homeopathy is also for soul frequency healing. I personally don`t see the difference, but Dr. Bach did and I try to give information as he taught it; not as I see it

Interesting about the Vervain. No I hadn`t heard nor used it for that purpose.

There are essences by FES that are for that specific purpose. I have tried them and they are wonderful I found them to be of great benefit so I expanded to others by FES and absolutely love them. I highly recommend their essences.

FES's Flower Essence Self Heal Creme has been a savior for me. I suffer from an 'incurable' skin disease- and this product has been an absolute beacon of light from heaven! It has done what prescribed medications have never been able to accomplish.

Two other amazing sources on Flower Essences I can recommend are a book, Flower Essence and Vibrational Healing by Gurudas (it will change your life!) and a wonderful website which sells the products described in the book. www.pegasusproducts.com

The Flower Remedies will change your life- and run- don't walk to the store to get Rescue Remedy- it is THAT amazing- or you can get FES's Five Flower Formula, which is the same thing! I wouldn't be without it!

Thanks Juni.

Much appreciated.
I do understand your point. I'll let you know my results after I do my little experiment.

Thank you MM! I will look into these books. I have a couple of questions now:

What is the rescue cream?

Would any essence or the rescue cream work on hemorrhoids?

Yin, I think the Self Heal cream would. I swear by it for any skin condition. Like MM, I buy it by the gross as I use it on my four leggeds too

Gia, I look forward to your results.

Is it safe to take gem tonics and things of that nature? What about drug interactions? I am really interested in getting some remedies, but I want your opinions first juniperb, thanks

i dunno why, but Rescue Remedy always puts me right to sleep


flower remedies are wonderful. i find that even the process of choosing a particular essence helps me clarify where i am and want i want - that's a fabulous tool in and of itself. then every time i use my choice i am intentionally calling that aspect into my life. i think it's all so lovely!

i'm interested in your take on the gem elixirs, too, juni. how do these measure up to the flower essences?

I don`t know a thing about the products called gem elixrs. When I feel the need for an additional vibration from a gem (I always wear certain gems)I do the traditional solar treatment. The gem in a crystal glass,purified water and put in sunlight for six hours. The solarization is traditional flower essence extraction.

Anyhow, I went looking. I was rather disappointed by what I found. One site says the gem to crushed to release the vibration.
http://www.crucible.org/gem_elixirs_production.htm

I believe Vibrations are simply there as any spirit is so I do not understand the process. The prices there are outrageous as well... One would be more apt to gain spiritual insight by the Lapis Lazuli by simply putting it on the third eye or any other area for treatment. No need to crush the beautiful gem.

Maybe I need to look deeper for a solid conclusion. Just my onion so far

Yin, there is no drug inter actions. The essences work on resonance/vibration. The only item besides solarized water is a smidgen of alcohol or glycerin and the potentized / etheric pattern of a specific flower.

Yin, where did you order them from?

They sound very interesting but I`m not familiar with some of them. Some of the ingredients arn`t flower essences so I just wondered.

Keep us posted

Juni and for any others that are interested:

I first started out with Flower Essences and am now on to Gem Elixirs. I am actually working on conncocting treatments using both remedies simultaneously.

For more information about Gem Elixirs-
two amazing books I can recommend are "Gem Elixirs and Vibrational Healing Vol. 1" by Gurudus, (I can't seem to get my hands on Vol. 2)and "Love Is In the Earth - A Kaleidoscope of Crystals" by Melody. This book has a nice section on making your own Gem Elixirs...

and no it is not necessary to crush the Gem to extract its healing vibration. You can use the same stone again and again as long as you have purified it after making a remedy!

I'm learning as I go...

Juni- what are your thoughts on allergic reactions to Flower Essences?

I have recently moved to a new city, am living with my boyfriend and am not having the easiest time adjusting because I don't speak the language (Spanish) and I haven't found a job yet. I've been feeling lonely and getting depressed.

I started taking small doses of Bach's Walnut Flower Essence...and broke out in an itchy rash on my face. I've read in Bach's books that this can sometimes happen and not to worry. Instead of taking the essence internally, I switched to using it in my bath. My face is clearing up...but I'm wondering if this is the wrong essence...or if it is just doing its job and bringing up the things that have been welled up deep inside...

Thanks!

MM

MM, thanks for the information! Very helpful.

Off the top of my head I`d say no it isn`t an indication of the wrong essence.

Do you have a reaction to any type of alcohol?

Is there something you`re repressing about this move? Were you too rash in doing it? If so it could be a manifestation of the repressed emotion becomming physical. Thats what dis-ease is ie a result of inner vibrations not in harmony.

Just a thought Keep the Walnut in your bath and you might want to add another essence or two to help you with ALL the issues involved. I`m thinking of fear/shyness and using Mimulus as well.
