How Do Bach Flower Remedies "Work"?

How do Bach Flower Remedies help you?

  for example,

Recover from an illness?

Sleep better? 

Overcome the blues?

Find courage?

Face fears calmly?

A practitioner starts by assessing how you are reacting to what it is that is making you feel "unbalanced" or "not your best self".

It is now well documented that our "state of mind' or our "emotions" or our "negative thinking"  has a strong effect on our physical health.

Dr Bach was aware of that nearly a century ago and has provided this 38 flower remedy system of healing to  help "calm us and center us"  mentally and emotionally so that our body is freed to do what it was created to do: re-balance itself (the medical term for this is: return to homeostasis), allow health to return.

You can determine appropriate remedies for yourseslf by asking  questions: 

Am I acting or reacting,
feeling or not feeling, what
  changes am I going through?

Do I:

Keep on pushing? BFRP suggests Oak

 Unable to move myself forward?  BFRP would suggest Wild Rose

Getting  grumpy? BFRP would suggest Willow

Did I get an upsetting diagnosis from a doctor?
BFRP suggests Aspen.

Flower remedies  support wellness by  treating

the person, not the disease.

So now, to answer the questions at the beginning of this article:

Recover from an illness?
BFRP might suggest that one would start with Olive

Sleep better? BFRP often  suggests to start with Whites Chestnut.

Overcome the blues?
Several  dodifferent degrees of the blues; BFRP might start with Gentian

Find courage?
Most likely, BFRP might suggest to start with Mimulus.

Face fears calmly?
A BFRP possibly could determine that Star Of Bethlehem would be the most appropriate for a particular individual. 

This simple system of healing was created by Dr. Edward Bach to be used by family members who have spent a little time learning the indications for the remedies and then be able to help their loved ones become "quite themselves again," which to this BFRP means well and happy!
