Bach flower essences have been used for 90 years, founded, perfected and put into a system of medicine as simple as it has proved effective. After a successful career in London Dr. Bach as a bacteriologist and homeopath, he abandoned a lucrative practice to seek and find herbs, flowers and trees which would heal the sick but from which no ill-effects could be derived. Dr. Bach taught that the basis of disease was to be found in the disharmony between the spiritual and mental aspects of a human being. This disharmony, to be found wherever conflicting moods produced unhappiness, mental torture, fear or lassitude and resignation, lowered the body's vitality and allowed disease to be present.

 

For this reason the remedies he prepared were for the treatment of the mood and temperament of the patient, not for his/her physical illness; each patient could increase his/her own vitality and draw from an inward strength and renewed sense of spiritual self as a means to restore and bolster physical health. Dr. Bach stressed that his remedies (consisting of 38 essences) could be used in conjunction with any other form of treatment would not clash or interfere. Equally, they could achieve great results used alone.  

 

The essences have been described as a catalyst to shift blocked energies, as preventive psychic health, developing awareness, strengthening character and harmonizing dissonant mental behavior patterns, ie, jealousy, apathy, anxiety and fear, etc. They can be used to bring us more in tune with nature as a whole as well as our own true inner nature. Dr. Bach taught that each of the essences embodied a certain potential of the soul that is expressed through its particular vibration which corresponds to a matching frequency in the human energy field. There is an abundance of fascinating literature available if you want to further investigate this on your own.  

 

In the meantime I am pleased to offer Bach Flower Essence Therapy after many months of study and practice. I have devised a series of three questionnaires to pinpoint areas where you may need a boost, ie, self confidence, fear, anxiety, self-esteem, anger, mental exhaustion to name just a few. This intake (in person or remotely) takes 60-90 minutes; we discuss particular issues you are experiencing at present (or earlier unresolved childhood/adult concerns or trauma that may be keeping you in a “stuck” behavior pattern). After careful assessment, I use a method of combining up to eight essences in a treatment bottle to use daily, 4 drops, 4 times a day. After the treatment bottle is nearly gone, (4-5 weeks) I schedule a follow up appointment (about 30 min) to assess any changes/differences you may have noticed while using the essences. At that time we determine whether you wish to continue with the same formula or perhaps add or subtract an essence or two, depending on your results and needs.  

 

Cost for the initial intake and follow-up review is $145 (treatment bottles are an additional $25 per bottle). If you wish to continue using Bach flower essence therapy with me after the first two sessions, there will be no additional charges for consults to address or adjust your blends. I am currently working with 14 clients (some as long as 4 months); every single person has noticed positive effects while using the essences; some slight but noticeable, some very dramatic and potentially life changing. I look forward to working with you. Please feel free to contact me to arrange a time to discuss and schedule an appointment. 

 

Aromatically yours, Gwen
