Bach Flower Remedies
Bach Flower Remedies are natural flower essences that were developed by Dr. Edward Bach in the early 20th century. Crystal Herbs is a UK based company that has continued Dr. Bach’s creation and development of these amazing flower essences. They ship worldwide so everyone can reap the benefits of their products. These natural remedies offer a gentle and effective approach to restoring balance in our emotional lives. These natural essences are derived from flowers and plants, offering a unique way to address emotional imbalances and promote overall wellness.
In addition to being a florist, I am also a certified Reiki master. I enjoy learning more and more about holistic health, and that is where I came to learn about Crystal Herbs. After reading up on their products, I purchased a 25ml Bach Flower Remedy Custom Combination filled with my own selection of essences.
Each flower essence has different benefits. If you already follow us on social media, you know that we post about one essence each week, talking about what ailments each essence can help to remedy.
In our blog here, we will feature a few essences every week, letting everyone know their uses and what they can help with.
For this week’s post, we will be talking about Apsen, Beech, Centaury, and Cerato essences.
Aspen ‐ Bach Flower Remedy Feeling Safe Aspen helps those who experience apprehension for which there appears to be no logical reason. This can take the form of vague but potent apprehension of some unknown future event or an uneasy ‘spooked out’ feeling in the dark or in strange places. The creepy, shivery feeling that is sometimes described as ‘someone just walked over my grave’ expresses the Aspen fear of the spirit / psychic realms very well. Shaking, trembling, or vague fluttering feelings in the tummy together with coldness, paleness & nightmares are all indications of the need for Aspen.
Beech ‐ Bach Flower Remedy Tolerance Beech helps those who need to establish a more loving, lenient and flexible relationship with themselves and with those around them. Criticism, judgement and intolerance are very common personality traits in today’s world where they are often seen as acceptable ways of instilling discipline in children as they grow up. However when these traits are not balanced with enough love the result is an individual who is constantly critical, intolerant and judgemental of themselves and others. Being easily irritated by others habits, having a very fixed outlook on life or so sensitive to criticism from others that it is difficult to benefit from life’s lessons, are all indications of the need for this remedy.
Centaury ‐ Bach Flower Remedy Self Determination Centaury restores the qualities of inner strength & self‐determination. Those in need of Centaury have a misplaced sense of service and believe that they must put others needs before their own. They appear to lack the will power to say ‘no’ and are easily dominated and open to being taken advantage of by those with stronger personalities. As a consequence they often wear themselves out in service to others and do not develop their own individuality or creativity. Those in the negative Centaury state are often seen as being ‘a doormat for others’.
Cerato ‐ Bach Flower Remedy Trust Cerato restores the qualities of inner certainty and wisdom. Those in need of Cerato have difficulty trusting in their own intuition or ‘inner voice’. They appear to have an air of uncertainty around them and tend to seek the opinions of others when faced with decisions in their lives, rather than trust their own judgement. Even when they have consulted with friends & colleagues they will still have great difficulty making a firm choice of direction causing themselves much confusion. The statement ‘I don’t know’ can often be heard from the lips of those in the negative Cerato state. Cerato helps to create a bridge between the personality and the Soul restoring the ability to know and trust one’s own innate inner wisdom.
In a world that often moves at an overwhelming pace, the pursuit of balance and emotional well-being has become increasingly important. Let's delve into the benefits of using Bach Flower Remedies and how they can contribute to a more balanced and harmonious life.
Natural and Gentle Healing:
Bach Flower Remedies are crafted from the blossoms of specific plants and trees, making them a natural and non-intrusive form of healing. Unlike some pharmaceuticals that may come with side effects, Bach Flower Remedies work in harmony with the body's natural systems. The gentle nature of these remedies makes them suitable for people of all ages, from children to seniors.
2. Emotional Well-Being:
At the core of Bach Flower Remedies is the idea that emotional well-being is fundamental to overall health. Each remedy is associated with a specific emotional state, such as fear, uncertainty, or lack of interest in the present. By addressing these emotional imbalances, Bach Flower Remedies aim to restore harmony and promote a positive mental state. Whether dealing with stress, anxiety, or sadness, individuals can find targeted support through the diverse range of remedies available.
3. Personalized Treatment:
One of the key strengths of Bach Flower Remedies lies in their personalized approach to treatment. Dr. Bach identified 38 different remedies, each addressing a specific emotional state or personality trait. By assessing an individual's emotional state, a personalized combination of remedies can be created to target the root cause of their imbalance. This individualized approach acknowledges that emotional well-being is a deeply personal experience, and what works for one person may not work for another.
4. Complementary to Other Therapies:
Bach Flower Remedies can be seamlessly integrated into various holistic health practices. Whether someone is undergoing traditional medical treatments, counseling, or other alternative therapies, these remedies can complement and enhance the overall healing process. Many practitioners and individuals have reported positive outcomes when combining Bach Flower Remedies with other wellness practices.
5. Promoting Self-Awareness:
Using Bach Flower Remedies encourages individuals to become more attuned to their emotions and thought patterns. By taking the time to reflect on their emotional states, individuals can gain insights into the root causes of their imbalances. This heightened self-awareness is a powerful tool for personal growth and development, fostering a deeper understanding of oneself and paving the way for positive change.
