“Health and Healing with Bach Flowers”

Sponsored by Daytime Gardeners of North Haven

A discussion on “Health and Healing with Bach Flower Remedies” will be held on Tuesday, July 24, 2018 at the North Haven Recreation Center, 7 Linsley Street, from 11:00 - 12:00 AM. The Daytime Gardeners of North Haven will host this meeting, with Linda Myers, certified nutrition counselor, presenting. Learn how Bach Flower Remedies were discovered, and how they are used to gently restore balance between mind and body naturally. Flower essences — or spring water infused with wildflowers by sun steeping or boiling — were developed in the 1930s by Edward Bach, an English physician. Bach came up with 38 “remedies,” each the essence of a different wildflower that targeted a specific emotional state: wild rose for apathy, aspen for fear, honeysuckle for regret, willow for resentment and so on. According to Denise Eaton, a Bach Foundation registered practitioner, “They don’t change your personality or mood. What they do is help your body deal with states of emotion like fear or anger.“ Flower essences basically work to balance negative states of mind.

Bach correlated 38 of the most common — the ones that people self-diagnose — with a flower essence that can combat the emotion, blending up to seven at one time. Rescue Remedy is one of the most popular and contains five flower essences: Rock Rose to alleviate terror and panic, Impatiens to mollify irritation and impatience, Clematis to combat inattentiveness, Star of Bethlehem to ease shock, and Cherry Plum to calm irrational thoughts. Other popular remedies include ones that enhance inner peace, attract love, promote sleep, inspire creativity, re-energize and increase opportunities.

Join us to learn more about what these natural flower essences can do for us, and how to use them for yourself and your family. They are even useful for pets! Participants will have the opportunity to select their choice of a remedy to sample. Bring a bottle of filtered water (no chlorine or fluoride) so you can prepare your sample and take it home!
