Flower Essence Therapy

If you are feeling down physically and emotionally it is time to take comfort from flowers through flower essence therapy. Flower essences are the blossoms of plants that are prepared using a sun infusion in a bowl of water. The mixture is then diluted and preserve with brandy.

Specialized combinations of essences are prepared in an ounce dosage bottles. A dosage bottle can last for ten to fourteen days.

Flower essence therapy was founded by an English surgeon named Dr. Edward Bach. He came up with 38 original flower remedies that is known as the Bach Healing Herbs and these is still being used to treat most underlying emotional causes of most diseases.

Bach believed that the living forces of nature can help re-establish that connection and bring more balance as well.
