Flower essences are used to assist with emotional challenges, as well as give courage, strength and commitment to your life. They can help to develop a higher level of intuition, spirituality, self-esteem, creativity and quieten the mind from racing thoughts. They have been used in night terrors, PTSD, anxiety and to assist with energy levels, as well as many other emotional circumstances.
Flower remedies have been around for thousands of years and used by many cultures, however the Australian Bush Flower Essences have been created by Ian White, who is an Australian naturopath and herbalist. Australia has a very wise and old energy and the world’s oldest and highest number of flowering plants. Like homeopathy they are based on physics principles rather than chemistry.
A flower essence remedy is adapted to you individually based on your current circumstances and can be used long term if required, however some patients need as little as 2 weeks.
We often incorporate flower essences into the treatment plan for our patients. In some cases where mood, anxiety and stress are dominating factors, flower essences might be prescribed in the initial appointment. In other patients, flower essences will be utilised in later treatment phases after initial physical deficiencies have been addressed. These are made specifically for each individual person based on their presentation and symptoms.
