I was skeptical about Bach Flower Remedies. I mean honestly do they work; they do seem a bit woowoo? Well, yes they do, I tried them and I am completely convinced, woowoo and all.
I had visited my Naturopathic doctor to review my test results and after our hour long session we talked about my stress and anxiety. She handed me a form and asked me to check off anything that resonated with me. Statements like I hide my feelings behind a facade of cheerfulness. I often neglect my own needs to please. I feel like I’m going crazy. I checked off what I felt was me and off she went. She handed me a bottle of what looked like water. I had instructions and said she would check in with me soon. I used it but thought meh. About 10 days after she emailed to ask how I was. How are you feeling, Joan? I thought about my reply…Wait, I was less crazy, less anxious, more trusting of my intuition. Was it the Bach Flower tincture? I asked her and low and behold it was. That little bottle of watery stuff was actually elevating my mood and calming my busy mind!
Next thing, does it work on our pets? Yes it does! Rescue Remedy for pets is widely used by pet owners to help calm their pet. In fact there is a number of Bach Flower Remedies for pets. I understand that pets can’t check off or answer questions on a sheet of paper but behaviors don’t lie. If you understand your pet you will know what triggers anxiety or fear: trips to the vet or groomer, thunderstorms, fireworks can all cause anxiety.
The Bach Flower Remedies work by gently restoring the balance between body and mind. They allow peace and happiness to return so that body can heal itself.
I am all for a more natural approach when it comes to health and well-being, including my own health. If you are interested in reading more about Bach Flower Remedies for pets, please visit http://bachflowerpets.com/.
Have a happy and joyful day!!
