Bach Flower Remedies for Animals

Bach Flower Remedies (or Flower Essences) are a complementary and safe treatment for ailments, both emotional and phyical, for animal and humans alike. (For visual explanation of contents of this page, please see the video at the bottom of this page.) Flower essences are just that: ‘essences.’ Everything in life has a vibration. Some higher than others (living things v. inanimate objects) but everything has a vibration. Edward Bach, a physician, discovered that different types of flowers vibrated at the same rate as certain emotional and physical ailments. The theory is that if you take something that vibrates at the frequency of good health, your body will strive to balance itself by matching that frequency. Flower essences were originally made by taking a flower, putting it in water and then letting it sit in the sun. What remained in the water, after the flower was taken out, was ‘the essence’ of that flower, ie: the vibration or frequency of that flower. Flower essences are completely safe since they are basically just water. If you try a combination that doesn’t work, that’s all it will do … not work. There is no harm done, as there can be with herbs if the wrong herb is chosen for an animal. When you do use the right essence(s), however, the results can be quite impressive when used consistently. The results are subtle, you may not think anything is improving, then all of a sudden, you notice the problem isn’t quite as bad and can’t quite place your finger on it. That’s how flower essences work.
