Flower essences, or flower remedies, are infusions made from the flowering part of a plant.  The process of sun steeping, or boiling the flower in water, captures the energy imprint of the flower. So, unlike essential oils or herbal remedies, which contain physical substances extracted from plants, there is no physical part of the flower in a flower essence, only its healing vibration.  

And, every flower has a different healing quality.  Flower essences offer a wonderful way to heal and grow because they act as catalysts for change at a deep emotional level. The positive changes that can occur from using flower essences include feeling more confident and creative, experiencing more joy, being more forgiving, forging better relationships, having more clarity and focus, and even cultivating a deeper connection to your Higher Self.

The Rescue Remedy is the most widely known of the Bach Flower Remedies. It has saved countless lives in emergency situations, while waiting for medical help. It actually isn't a remedy, but a mix of five remedies. It is available in three different forms - spray, drops and pastilles.

It is also known as the Crisis Formula or the Emergency Drops. It was formulated to deal with emergencies and all sorts of crisis:

• When we are in mental turmoil, e.g. after a family row, on hearing bad news, or for children who have seen violence on television.

• For impending events such as a visit to the dentist, a job interview, an operation, death in the family  or an accident involving loss of consciousness. 

• If one has to work in an atmosphere of permanent stress, e.g. Corona time frontline workers, a hospital casualty department, in a courtroom  

It is therefore important to have Rescue Remedy in the home medicines cabinet or car first-aid box. It can be given externally as well as internally, for example if someone is unconscious and is unable to swallow the drops in the normal way. To apply externally, either dab a few drops onto the pulse points or use the diluted remedy to moisten the person's lips. 

Rescue Remedy  Cream  is also a very important product. Rescue Cream is a non-greasy intensive moisturiser designed to re-hydrate dry, rough sensitive skin. With regular use it helps protect the skin against environmental influences and other external stress factors. From itchy or dry skin triggered by emotional demands to simply overexposure to winter dryness or the summer heat, our skin goes through a lot and is often the first place to show the impact of our hectic lifestyle . It is especially beneficial for external traumas and conditions, such as, blows, rashes, chemical burns, bruises, cuts, sprains, diaper rash, burns, razor burns and cuts etc.  Give your skin life again; from head to toe by using the Rescue Remedy Cream!

Dr. Edward Bach once said that , " Independence, individuality and freedom , should be taught from the beginning , and the child should be encouraged as early as possible in life to think and act for himself." Parents should give  their children spiritual, mental and physical guidance to the utmost of their ability and  let  them gain knowledge and experience in their own way.  They should be given every possible freedom for  unhampered development. Dr. Bach also believed that as along as our Souls and personalities are in harmony all is joy and peace, happiness and health. When our personalities  are led astray from the path laid down by the Soul, either by our worldly desires or by the persuasion of others, a conflict arises. This conflict is the root cause of disease and unhappiness.

But in  reality things are far more different.  Many a times we see parents dictating their kids on what to do and not to do.  We see them pushing their children into hobbies or careers, where they are neither happy nor able to grow. Parents should refrain from any undue control or obligation and children should be left free to develop in their own way.

Most psychological problems that show up later in life  as a result of this conflict , have their roots in life's first seven years. Therefore it stands to reason that many physical and psychological problems later in life might be avoided through using Bach Flower during these early years.  According to leading paediatricians, approximately 80% of a child's symptoms such as stomachaches and headaches are psychosomatic responses.   

 However,  even under the best of circumstances, it can be hard to tell the difference between challenging behaviours and emotions that are consistent with typical child development and those that are cause for concern. It is important to remember that many disorders like anxiety, attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and depression, do occur during childhood. In fact, many adults who seek treatment reflect back on how these disorders affected their childhood and wish that they had received help sooner. 

Unfortunately, today parents are treating these issues with harmful drugs. Drugs, which are not only addictive but doing them more harm than good! Knowing this, parents who have seen the remarkable  results that are possible with Bach Flower remedies would certainly not want to be without them.

The Bach Flower Remedies are very safe for children. From sleeping disorders, bed-wetting, every day fears, difficult teething , aggression, daydreaming, self-esteem, worries, sadness, self-acceptance, school issues etc. these remedies can help various problems in any stage of a child's life. Children respond quickly to the Bach Flower Remedies because they have not had years of unresolved emotional imbalances. Parents giving the Bach Flower Remedies to their children are often amazed by the positive effect the Remedies have on their children. Screaming children find sudden relief, shy and fearful children find courage, impatient and angry children find peace and discouraged children find the will to go on.
