Flower essences were first developed in England in the 1930's, by researcher and physician Dr. Edward Bach. The 'Bach Flower Remedies' as they are called, were developed originally for humans as a catalyst for personal growth and emotional healing but have also been used safely in animals over the past sixty years. Many other flower essence lines have been developed around the world, since that time, using Bach's methods.
One of the most commonly known Bach Flower Remedies, Rescue Remedy, is a mix of five different flower essences (Cherry Plum, Clematis, Impatiens, Rock Rose and Star of Bethlehem) which together help humans and animals deal with emergency situations and stressful events. Most essence producers have their own version of this remedy which is known to ease stress, distress and tension, and encourage calm, reassurance and relaxation. It is a safe alternative to a sedative or tranquilizer and can be used in animals in any emergency or stress situation. The uses are countless.
Simply put, flower essences are the energetic or vibrational frequencies of flowers captured in spring water. These frequencies contain the unique life force energy pattern or imprint of the flower, and when taken internally as an essence, they awaken specific resonant qualities in the animal's soul. Animals in general are much closer to nature and flowers than we are as humans, both physically and figuratively speaking. In natural surroundings animals even have an innate knowing of which plants are essential to heal them, whether by ingesting the plant or just by resting beside it and absorbing its energy frequency. How many of you have seen cats basking in the energy of the alyssum in your flower bed, or witnessed the dandelion anointed crowns of dogs that have been rolling on a summers lawn?
In general, animals respond more profoundly and swiftly to flower essences than humans, due to the fact that they have considerably less complicated emotional and mental energy patterns. Often, the imbalances or dis-eases in their systems are absorbed from the people in the home, the environments that they are living in, or caused as a result of their failure to thrive in unnatural environments. As the animals are such sensitive energetic beings, they are also prone to suffering the collective injustices that are done to their species as a whole.
Personally I have found in my more than ten years of healing and communing with the animals, that there are specific energy patterns and imbalances, unique to the them, that benefit from flower essence healing. Therefore, I have developed a line of essences, The Animal Energy Essences http://animalenergy.com/flower-essences.html , especially for animals and specifically for the issues that they have been presenting. The benefit of these essences, which are all blends of more than one flower, is that they address these specific situations and patterns as a whole.
To give you an example of what these essences can do, my Spirit Renew formula was designed to work at a deep level to enhance and restore the will to live, help animals heal from injury, separation, loss, relationship changes, abandonment and during or after spending time in an animal shelter. The Who's the Boss formula was created to deal with issues related to jealousy, dominance, aggression, territory and inflexibility, commonly found, but not exclusively, in dogs. With the Bach remedies I found I was recommending 4 or 5 remedies to work with this specific situation alone. I have also developed special remedies for each individual domestic species that offer over-all support for vitality, well-being and enhance their natural qualities.
Flower essences have no impact whatsoever on animals in the household who don't require them, and as a matter of fact it is recommended that all occupants of a household, including the people, take the same essences. This helps to create an integrated and harmonious environment. Often the animals are absorbing energies and emotions from the people in the family anyhow so this may help to clear up the source of their issues as well.
Essences are fragrance free, easy to administer and safe. With no known side effects, they do not interfere with medications making them a great addition to holistic and allopathic medicine. Whoever coined the phrase "Take time to smell the roses" just might have been on to something.
