Bach flower remedies are available to treat most undesirable mental states. From hiding problems behind a cheerful face, which is treated by agrimony, through a host of other conditions, the 38 Bach flower remedies can address the root cause of turmoil and unhappiness. If more than one emotional state needs to be addressed, the treatment is as simple as mixing additional Bach flower remedies to get the desired treatment.
Bach flower remedies are made from the essence, or inner energy, of various common plants and flowers. Agrimony, aspen, beech, and centaury head up the list, and are only the merest beginning. Other plants used are the cherry plum, chicory, elm, heather, and holly, along with impatiens,larch, oak, olive and pine. Each one of the Bach flower remedies is based on the essence of a single plant, except for Rescue Remedy.
The only one of the Bach flower remedies that is not based on a unique plant is the Rescue Remedy, sometimes called the Bach Flower Rescue. This one is made using a special combination of five other Bach flower remedies, Rock Rose, Cherry Plum, Impatiens, Clematis, and Star of Bethlehem. Rescue Remedy is an emergency treatment for general emotional turmoil, and is sometimes used to help focus the mind before exams or to calm nerves before important speaking events.
Additionally, a Rescue Remedy Cream is available which use all five of the Bach flower remedies contained in the Rescue Remedy, plus Crab Apple, a remedy with recognized cleansing properties that can help speed the healing of bruises, rashes, and other types of skin irritation.
Not only are Bach flower remedies safe for the entire family to use, but there are also treatments that apply the same Bach flower remedies to animal treatments. Because the premise of Bach flower remedies is that healing comes from a balanced mood and personality, and the flower essences treat that balance, these same treatments can be used for cats, dogs, and horses, as well as any other pets, and they are equally safe for infants and pregnant mothers.
No matter what underlying emotional state a person is suffering from, from apathy to feeling uncertain or even unwanted, one of the Bach flower remedies, or a combination of them, will help re-align the mental priorities and get you back on the road to recovery and a positive personality.
