Why Bach Flower Remedies?

They are gentle yet effective and help you to learn about yourself: patterns in responses to life's ups and downs; they help you to re-balance emotionally; they help you to cope. They can support you through a range of emotional states and can be combined to suit your individual needs. They can be taken as prescribed or as and when needed. When you become more aware of the state you associate with the remedy then it becomes easier to manage the state with or without the remedy - they are a tool to help you heal when you are not sure how to yourself. I am also interested in the Australian Bush Flower Essences which work on a deeper level so may even recommend those when appropriate. 

How do they work?

You may have seen or even used Rescue Remedies which can be bought in well known health shops and pharmacies. They work by re-balancing the mental and emotional state. They are a great way to feel back in control - especially when anxiety and anger can make us feel very much out of control. Rescue Remedies are a specific combination designed for acute times of stress, anxiety or despair. I work with all 38 remedies to individualise prescriptions for each patient who needs them.

What happens?

I use the Flower Remedies as part of my homeopathic consultation and treatment practice when appropriate. For family and friends I muscle test to see which Flower Remedies are needed but for public practice I diagnose which remedies would serve best based on the consultation itself; this then becomes part of the prescription along with any homeopathic or herbal supplements required. I could prescribe the Flower Remedies on their own but currently I am working with them as part of a homeopathic prescription. This can be discussed if preferred as a separate treatment. 

Why me?

I have been using Bach Flower Remedies since I was a 12 to combat the phobia I developed due to my nut allergy. They reduced the phobia and the allergic reaction! I have been studying them as an adult and using them with friends and family for over 10 years now. They were part of my training with CPH so I am qualified and insured to practice with them as part of my homeopathic practice. Aside from that, I just love them. They have been a constant support throughout some really difficult times; I value the insight they give me and the ability to simply cope better.
