Each of us experiences emotions with varying degrees of intensity.
An event that may cause anxiety and discomfort for one person may seem trivial to another.
There are countless emotional nuances—nuances that have a strong influence on ourmoodsand even on our bodies.
In this regard, the English physician Edward Bach had developed an interesting theory on the role of emotions in traditional medicine.
Bach firmly believed that to cure illnesses , it was necessary to identify the underlying psychological cause; every physical ailment we experience externally is linked to an internal imbalance betweenour desires and our mind. Flower therapy is based on the idea thatthe energy emanating from flowers can help balance these negative energy imbalances.
That is why Bach studied and identified 39 flower remedies, each associated with specific moods and personality types. In particular, the first 12 flowers — known as “the Healers”— correspond to 12 human personality types. The Centaury type, for example, is constantly seeking approval and ends up being taken advantage of by others. The Rock Rose type, due to a very strong and impulsive personality, suffers from severe bouts of anxiety and fear.
There is currently no scientific evidence to prove the effectiveness of these remedies. But for many people , using Bach Flower Remedies has marked the beginning of a journey of personal growth. These remedies stimulate the individual’s inner resilience and trigger a strong desire for positive change. Simply choosing the flower best suited to our needs forces us to confront our problems and helps us become aware of who we are and what we’re seeking in order to achieve a state of inner peace.
In these times of great uncertainty, Bach flowers can be a valuable aid in helping us overcome negative moods. Here are three remedies we recommend for combating anxiety, fear, and fatigue.
“Vague, unknown fears for which there is no explanation or reason. Yet the patient may be frightened by the feeling that something terrible is about to happen, but does not know what. These vague, inexplicable fears can torment the patient day or night. Those who suffer from them are often afraid to talk to others about their distress.”
“For those moments that certain people experience when their anguish is so great that it seems unbearable. When the mind or body feels it has reached the limit of what it can endure, and that the time has come to give in. When it seems there is nothing left to face but destruction and annihilation.”
“For those who feel they lack the mental or physical strength to bear the burden of life placed upon them; daily activities seem too difficult to handle, even though they generally manage to complete their tasks. For those who believe that certain parts of their body or mind need to be strengthened before they can easily carry out their work.”
