The use of flower therapy continues to flourish in many countries. Flower therapy owes its origins to the work of a British doctor and scientist Edward Bach. From his experience in clinical practice Dr. Bach acknowledged the spectacular advances that had been made in scientific medicine in the early part of the 20th century. However he found medicine was largely engaged in a fight against physical illnesses and took no account of mental or emotional states. Thus started his quest for a therapy which would act on the emotional level to develop healing from within. Dr Bach described the connection between the mental/emotional state and illness as a conflict between the individual (the human body) and the higher self(the spiritual being). Health and harmony at one level generates an equivalent state at the other level. Conversely disharmony at the mental and emotional level brings disharmony to the physical body.
Over the years many scientists and practitioners have developed different ranges of Flower Therapies for different applications. The range of uses is essentially unlimited. For every emotional upset or energy imbalance there are vibrational flower remedies that can help energize, support, nurture, balance, or give relief. Flower Therapies can be easily integrated with other healing modalities such as homoeopathy, herbal medicine and nutrition. Indeed flower therapies can and are utilised in beauty products and cosmetics, in clinical settings such as oil burners for aromatherapy and massage, classrooms for calming purposes, aircraft for relief of anxiety and so on. Flower Essences can also be effectively used for animals, as horses and pets responds very favorably.
