Apart from their visually uplifting properties, the healing powers of flowers are often underestimated.
The idea of putting a few drops of flower essence on your tongue to bring harmony may seem like it belongs in the realm of hippie, new-age types.
But in fact, flower remedies have been used to heal emotions and promote well-being throughout the ages in India, Asia, South America, Europe, and Australia since ancient Egypt.
In Europe, the method was rediscovered by Dr. Edward Bach in England in the 1920s, and more recently the so-called newcomer Australian Bush Flower Essence has gained considerable attention. I first learned about bush flower remedies from reports about how something called emergency essence could support labor. This seems to be a fairly reliable test.
Extracted from the vast pristine landscape of the Australian bush, home to the most diverse and in some cases the oldest collection of flowers on the planet, the flowers are distilled in water under direct sunlight.

The therapeutic properties of 68 different essences are pioneered and continually researched by naturopathic physician and herbalist Ian White. As a child, he grew up in the bush and his grandmother, like her mother before her, specialized in using plants and flowers for healing and taught him everything she knew. I taught.
Anne-Marie Clayton is an Australian Bush Flower Essence practitioner based in Phibsborough, Dublin, and has been training with White in Sydney for four years.
“Australian bush flowers are very pure and grow in soils that have deep traces left by Aboriginal people.
“Each flower has been found to balance certain emotions; for example, blackia is taken to overcome anxiety and cornflower is taken to keep one’s feet on the ground,” says Dagger Hakea, Old Man Banksia. She explains while surrounded by photos of exotic-looking flowers such as , Silver Princess, and Mountain. devil.
“Flowers work to release negative beliefs in the subconscious, thereby making room for the growth of love, joy, faith, and courage – the virtues of the higher self.”
I talk to Annemarie about my feelings. She guesses which of her 68 essences will best support my situation, and in purified water she makes a bottle with her 5 essences and her 1 drop of brandy.
I leave with instructions to take 7 drops under the tongue in the morning and at night. Within 18 hours of him taking the IV, things came fast and furious.
Annemarie advised me to take only 3 drops in the morning and evening, but I have to say that it was only my love and appreciation for the flower that stopped me from completely abandoning ship. After 10 days, I experienced a huge change and I was so glad I kept persevering because the part of my heart that had been stiff and numb all my life now felt like a flowering bud.
Jasmine, 27, from Wexford, had a similar practice experience over the course of a year. She started taking them when she decided to perform in her public life as a singer and guitarist.
“It was very exposed and very scary to go out and sing. I thought this drop was great. It works on a very subtle level, but the problem that had been there for a while was that within a few days… I feel much more centered in my heart than my head now. ”
Verdict: My experience with Australian Bush Flower Essence has been a powerful and lasting one. They changed things dramatically for me and subsequently brought a sense of harmony and calm within myself that I hadn’t experienced in years. It feels good to be me again.

Flower remedies: how do they work?
fact:
Often described as “vibrational therapy,” the history of using flower essences to treat emotional health and well-being dates back thousands of years.
The great healers Hippocrates, Paracelsus, Hahnemann, and Bach all believed that good health was the result of emotional, spiritual, and spiritual harmony, and that treating patients’ emotional imbalances cured their illnesses. I discovered.
Australian bush flower essences are relatively new and have only been used for the past 25 years. They are grown without pesticides and in uncontaminated environments, often in the remotest and most difficult to access areas. You can combine up to 5 essences in one bottle. It is said that if you decide to self-prescribe and get the wrong prescription, there will be no harm as it will only address the current problem. If the vibrations contained in the essence are not needed, nothing will happen.
Solid evidence:
Despite being used for thousands of years, there have been no large-scale clinical trials on the effectiveness of flower essences, and certainly nothing to convince skeptics. However, as the Bach Center states, “We do not see our role as ‘proving’ that a treatment works. Instead, we simply Just demonstrate how to use it and let people prove its effectiveness for themselves.”
Anecdotal evidence regarding Australian bush flower essences shows that they are powerful and safe catalysts. It is used not only for adults but also for babies and animals.
