"Healing must come from within ourselves" Dr. Edward Bach
During the consultation, we will look for indications of emotional states which may have become out of balance. After discussing these with you, a treatment bottle will be made up, containing the flower essences which may help re-balance these states. Each individual essences contains the positive virtue necessary to balance the negative which has been indicated.
How quickly will the essences start to make a difference?
For some people it can be immediately, for others it might take a little longer depending on the issues being treated. Each case is unique.
How many treatments are needed?
When the treatment bottle is finished, a follow-up consultation is recommended. During this, your progress will be reviewed and you may have changed your outlook so you may barely remember what you were taking the remedies for. However, sometimes new remedies are also indicated. This is because, once some emotional states are brought into balance, deeper lying imbalances can come to the surface. Only by treating these too, will true healing be achieved.
How do I take the essences?
Add four drops from the treatment bottle to a glass of water. Sip from it as often as you want, but ideally at least four times a day. Or use in four seperate drinks during the day. Water is the prefered liquid but you can add the essences to any liquid - tea, coffee, fizzy drinks.
Are there any side effects from using them?
Whilst the Bach Flower essences are considered to be free from side effects, if you notice anything different when using them or experience any additional symptoms please stop taking the essences and speak to your doctor.
Can I take Bach Flower Essences with other medicine?
As always, if you are taking prescribed medication it is advisable for you to speak with your doctor before using them and and follow the advice given.
When should I stop taking the essences?
When the problem that is being treated has gone. There is no need to continue taking them in case it comes back, nor do you have to wean yourself off the essences gradually.
Can I take the essences if I am pregnant?
Yes but if you have any worries you should always consult your doctor/midwife before taking the essences.
Who can take the essences?
Everyone. They are also safe for small children.
You can also use them when you are ill, because most doctors agree that good emotional health supports and aids the recovery of physical health.
