Frequently Asked Questions

1- Do the Essences interact with any medication I may be taking?

No, there is no interaction between the Essences and any kind of medication prescribed by your doctor.  As a matter of fact, it is important that you keep taking your regular medications during the treatment with the Essences, unless your doctor tells you to stop  for any other reason.

2- How do I know the Bach Essences are not a placebo?

The Bach Essences are successful on pets and plants, this way erasing  any doubt concerning the effectiveness of the Essences.  A frightened pet, after taking  some drops of Rescue diluted in its water for some days, can become calm and happy.  A plant can react coming back to life after the same solution.

3- Can I be cured after one session?

It depends. Some people feel a difference during the first 48 hours, others during the first bottle formula, and some people can take longer. The Bach Essences healing process is a journey and not an arrival. Sometimes, after the first bottle some other emotion or emotions can emerge and the treatment will now be addressed to that new aspect of the person”s personality. We call that the ” onion peeling process”. On the surface we can be dealing with obvious issues, but on a deeper level, hidden aspects of our personality may be ruling our lives.  And these have a chance to emerge in a consultation and be addressed.

4- How is the treatment?

After a consultation, where you and your practitioner go over your state of mind,  feelings and emotion,  a formula will be chosen which is a mixture of between one to seven Essences in a bottle. It is important that you take at least 4 to 6 drops of the liquid in your mouth at least 4 times daily.

5- Who can benefit from the essences?

Everybody can benefit from the Essences.

6- When were they discovered?

They were discovered in 1930 by Dr Bach,  a bacteriologist and pathologist,  and has been used all around the world since then.

They are made 100% of flowers.

8- Can children take them?

Yes, the Essences can also benefit  children.

9- Can my pet take it?

Yes, pets and plants also benefit from the flowers.

10- If I can buy them at the health food store why do I need a practitioner?

You can buy your own Essences if you like, but the role of the practitioner is to help you  choose the best Essences for your problems, sometimes we are so caught up in our entangled emotions,  it can be confusing to make a choice, and trusting someone to guide you in that mission can be very helpful.
