At Baldwin’s we are a firm believer in the benefits of the very special Bach flower essences. Edward Bach was a medical doctor, bacteriologist, and homoeopathic physician who dedicated his life to discovering a system of healing to go beyond the diagnosis and treatment of physical symptoms to address the emotional and mental roots of disease. A real pioneer in this field, it was the sight of dewdrops glistening on flower petals that inspired him with the idea that the heat of the sun, acting through the dew, must draw out the healing essence of each flower. Through the development of a method for extracting this essence and a sprinkle of self-experimentation, he isolated flowers which addressed a broad range of psychological conditions. These became known as the Bach Flower Essences.
Here at Baldwin’s our largest range of flower remedies we hold are those of Dr Edward Bach and include the popular rescue remedy and remedy night drops. What is so interesting about the remedies is that they don’t treat the physical complaints directly but instead help by treating the negative emotional states that provoke or worsen the problem in the first place. At Baldwin’s we encourage our customers seeking out a remedy to try and think about their current emotional state and specific personality and character traits as a means to select the most appropriate remedies. The range of ailments that Bach flower remedies can help is broad and covers physical pain and illnesses to emotional problems and depression.
An alternative therapy to say the least, there are often debates raging about homeopathy and other forms of alternative therapies. There are many who say that alternative therapies merely induce positive effects by acting as a placebo and that the treatments themselves do nothing to alleviate any physical medical condition. Others however who have turned to homeopathy and other alternative therapies in the past have talked of tremendous benefits and outcomes and would always turn first to this as a form of treatment for an ailment before resorting to chemical medication.
It is likely that discussions and debates will continue in the future regarding alternative therapies. Let us know what you think about this subject. Have you ever undergone any alternative therapies and if so, what results did you see? Were they positive or negative and would you try out the same therapy again?
