With the pressures of modern life, it is not always easy to give ourselves the care and nurturing we need and deserve, but a little extra help is now available in the form of the Bach Flower Remedies. The 38 flower essences discovered by Dr Edward Bach (1886-1936) form a natural healing system that is based on the emotions and personality of the patient – they can turn negative thoughts and emotions into positive ones - just what is needed when we are struggling with family and financial pressure over the Christmas period. The flower remedies are non-addictive and can be used safely along side other treatments. Dr Edward Bach completed his medical training at University College Hospital in London, qualifying in 1912 and practised as a consultant, bacteriologist and homoeopath for over 16 years in London. There were two great interests in his life; an over-whelming compassion for all sentient beings who suffered and a love of nature – of trees and plants. These two passions combined to lead him to the knowledge of the healing that he sought and he found in nature's storehouse the flowers of the fields which can offer healing to those with sickness and those in pain. His ancestors had their roots in Wales as his name implies – although when at medical school a miss-pronunciation of his name lead to him becoming affectionately known as 'Batch' which he retained all his life - today the Bach Foundation in Oxon is still known as the 'Batch' centre... On leaving school his first job, age 16, was to work in his fathers brass foundry where amongst his fellow workers he gained an insight and understanding of human nature which was to be the basis of his future work... During his medical training, Dr Bach came to the conclusion that sickness and disease were not necessarily due to physical causes, but can relate to some deeper disharmony within the sufferer – that distress of mind such as fear, worry, over-anxiety, or impatience that so depletes the vitality of the individual that the body loses its natural resistance to disease and is then vulnerable to infection and other forms of illness. The beauty of the Flower remedies is their ability to raise and uplift the spirit, making our lives so much easier, happier and less stressful. It is now possible to study and qualify as a Bach Flower Remedy (BFR) Practitioner, and suggest and mix remedies for specific circumstances, emotions and individual personalities. At Christmastime, when it is easy to feel exhausted and under-valued, and you are left wishing it was all over sooner rather than later, a good BFR practitioner can provide you with a mix of remedies specifically to combat these feelings, and which can uplift your spirits and diffuse the feeling of distress that comes from feeling overloaded with tasks and difficult family situations. The remedies are known to guide negative feelings into positive ones, so that you can look forward to and enjoy the holiday season. Be kind to yourself this holiday season, and care about how you feel - you are important. The Bach Centre in Oxfordshire maintains a current register of trained Bach Flower Remedy Practitioners.
