Bach Flower Remedies: Rebecca

[Guest guest]

Hi Rebecca,

 

I'm gonna jump right in here as it appears I am taking a crash

course this week in Bach Remedies and Essential Oils at this group.

 

Please be explicit and tell me what the follow means:

I, too, am a flower essence practitioner, although not from the Bach

background. I was trained by a teacher from the Delta Gardens/David

Dalton and FES programs. Those companies explore a wider variety

than the original 38 essences, and advocate a broader application

of the essences.

 

Just a second opinion, one among many! Green Blessings,

Hi Carol,

 

Perhaps you'll find a brief overview of the manufacturing processes helpful...

 

A common way to make a flower essence: cut blooms into bowl of water

until the entire surface is covered... set in the sun for 3 hours...

remove flowers, mix with brandy to preserve. The idea is that the

energetic " vibration " of the flowers is transferred to the water.

 

If you've seen What The Bleep Do We Know? or are familiar with Dr.

Emoto's snowflake experiments, you've been exposed to one theory of

how this works.

 

Essences do not smell like much of anything, except the preservative

used (which varies, including brandy, vinegar, or in the case of

Green Hope farms, Shiso extract)

 

Essential oils are obtained by steam distillation, which separates

the volatile oils from the rest of the material used. Each is a broth

of aromatic chemicals which can be analyzed and measured with

scientific tests.

 

Hope this helps!
