Flower Essence’s For Animals - A short description. 

Flower essences are dilute extracts of various types of lowers and plants that are used to treat animals and people. They are similar to homeopathic remedies in that they are diluted and potentized to make then more effective than just using the original flower as a herbal extract. The person who first developed the original flower remedies was Dr. Edward Bach, a famous English physician. He developed them when he was working as a homeopathic practitioner and devoted his life to researching and developing his remedies. He wanted to find a simpler form of treatment that would not require anything to be destroyed or altered.

          Dr. Bach believed that diseases of the body came about as a result of imbalances or negativity at the level of the soul, and by correcting the problem here healing would result and the body would heal on all levels. The flower remedies act to balance the emotional and spiritual body, and bring about a gentle healing by bringing the body back into balance.

          Animals respond just as well to the Bach Flower Remedies as people, and seem to have similar emotional imbalances that can be corrected with the appropriate remedy.  The flowers are gathered from nature when they are just at the point of perfection and it is important that the flowers are free from any toxins and preservatives. The remedies are made by leaving the flower out in the sun and the extracted essence is then diluted in water and preserved with alcohol to make a mother tincture. The resulting remedy is then diluted in spring water to make a solution that can be taken by a person or an animal. 

The flower essences are safe and compatible with any other treatment. They cannot be over used or misused and you can give more than one at a time. If you give a wrong remedy it will not have a negative effect but simply no effect. In most cases, one course of treatment of up to six weeks (rarely for life) will be needed.  Usually improvement is seen within two weeks of treatment.

          Flower essences do not treat a specific behavior, but rather address the underlying emotional imbalance. Flower essences are not drugs, they do not have a physical effect on the body, nor will they directly alter or eliminate a particular behavior. They gently change the person or animal by encouraging positive emotions and responses, which in turn result in beneficial effects on your pet’s behavior.
