What Are Flower Essences?

Flower essences have been used for generations. Originally developed by Edward Bach in England, now created in Australia.

Flower essences are the healing vibrations made from flowers. The essence is used to treat emotional symptoms which often underlie other health conditions, both mental and physical.

The action of flower essences is subtle. Being the ‘essence’ of the flower it is safe to take alongside other treatments and will not interfere or harm in anyway. Flower essences and flower remedies act in a gentle way, often only coming to our attention when we realise we have changed.

The modern practice of flower essences or remedies* began in the 1930s with the work of English physician Dr Edward Bach, who recognised the close relationship between emotional wellbeing and overall health. His pioneering work laid the foundation for what has become a trusted practice used throughout the world.

In the 1990’s flower essence practice expanded to include Australian Bush Flower Essences by Ian White. Australian Bush Flowers are different from Bach Remedies, although they are the same type of product.

For more than twenty years I have worked with both Bach Flower Remedies and Australian Bush Flower Essences, selecting each according to the clients concerns, symptoms and emotional state. Alongside this work, I have been lucky enough to be able to divine my own collection of flower essences with the first essence created in South Australia, and now in Tasmania.

Flower essences are gentle, non-habit forming and suitable for people of all ages. Whether chosen individually or as part of a personalised blend, they offer a natural way to support emotional wellbeing and personal growth.

*Flower essences are the vibrational essence of the flower. Flower remedies are flower essences normally relating to Dr Bach’s range. Whilst Australian flower essences and Bach’s flower remedies are the same type of product, they differ in their abilities, they way the heal and the type of symptoms they treat. This is based on my experience with clients and my family.
