Bach flower essences and Bach flower remedies for a younger generation, from Cromer in Norfolk, bitcoin accepted. What are Bach Flower remedies? Bach Flower remedies are simple mixtures of mineral or spring water, flowers and brandy, which work to heal emotional problems, thereby restoring mental harmony and preventing physical illness from taking hold. They address emotional states in a holistic way, allowing the body to react creatively, instead of passively and destructively when worn by the stresses of life. The Bach Flower Remedies are a range of flower essences made from the blooms of plants, bushes and trees, according to the original directions of Doctor Edward Bach. They were developed in the 1930s by Doctor Bach who believed that disease was caused by a negative state of mind and found that if you make a person happier, the body heals itself. The Bach Flower Remedy collection is simple and safe. The remedies can be used with confidence by all the family for the challenges of everyday living. I see that the essences contain a little alcohol – why is this? Is there a non-alcohol alternative? Brandy is traditionally used in Flower Essence Stocks and Dosage Bottles as the preservative of choice. Stocks without alcohol are hard to find, but you can greatly minimise the alcohol content in dosage bottles by using cider apple vinegar or glycerine. Are Flower Essences safe for children? Flowers Essences are very gentle in their action and have no side effects, so you can feel very confident about giving them to children. Are there any dangers, side effects and concerns with taking Flower Essences? Flower Essences bring only the effects you want, no negative ones and as they are made from harmless flowers, they are simple and safe.
