Flower essences are herbal infusions, made from the flowering parts of the plant, which uniquely address emotional and mental aspects of wellness. To understand the effectiveness of flower essence, one must recognise that the human being is more than a physical body. It is a strongly related “body” of life energy, a “body” of sensitivity and feelings, and a spiritual essence of self.
The first 38 flower remedies were formulated by a British physician, Dr. Ed
ward Bach in the 1930’s, following the identification of 7 negative states of mind:
· Fear
· Uncertainty
· Insufficient interest in present circumstances
· Loneliness
· Over sensitiveness to influences and ideas
· Despondency or despair
· Over-care for the welfare of others
“Behind all disease lie our fear, our anxieties,
our greed, our like and dislike.”
(Edward Bach)
More recently, Ian White developed the world renowned Australian Bush Flower Essences, which explores the application of essences in areas such as self-esteem, sexuality, creativity, and many more.
