			Bach Flower Essences Bach Flower Remedies are the best known and most widely available system of healing with flower essences. The Bach Centre has worked very hard to preserve the intregrity and uniqueness of Dr. Edward Bach's work. A little about flower essences and healing Systems of healing with flower essences utilize similar principles to homeopathy. Under the influence of the German physician who founded homeopathy, Dr. Samuel Hahnemann (1755-1843), Dr. Edward Bach (1886-1936) advanced the concept of healing through his focused research on the vibrational energies found in flowering plants. Dr. Bach began his career as a bacteriologist and pathologist, where he developed various oral bacterial vaccines that are still widely used in homepathic practice today. Bach believed that positive, healthy states of mind could be restored by the energies found in flowering plants, trees, bushes and special waters. Thus, he founded the following 38 flower essence remedies. For many - particularly those attuned to Western thought - this type of healing may seem too esoteric. The belief is that the universe is nothing more than energy (including the physical body) in constant transformation. Every thing has a vibration attuned to it. (i.e., what makes something appear red is its vibration.) Under this thought process, homeopathy restores the balance of subtle energy fields by matching it with a remedy based on the "like cures like" principle. For example, striking a tuning fork can cause one next to it to begin vibrating at the same frequency. Taking this one step further, this can help explain why you are drawn to a particular piece or style of music. There is abundant evidence that shows emotions produces changes in nerve function, digestion, respiration, circulation and the immune system which makes this connection so important to one's wellbeing. For Bach, a distortion of the vibrational energy of the body creates an effect that results in negative states of mind such as worry, anxiety and impatience. These negative states so deplete the individual's vitality that the body loses its natural resistance and becomes vulnerable to infection and illness. Bach's research led him to discover the same vibrational character of certain flowers as the quality concerned but without the "distortion" and at the normal rhythm. Through their essences, they can act as a catalyst for reintegration and healing. Agrimony - Concealed distress. Helps restore inner peace, emotional honesty.
