Are you wondering what exactly I am talking about? There are 38 amazing flower essences that help to balance emotions and enhance well being. Dr. Bach's Philosophy: Disease is entirely the result of a conflict between our spiritual and mortal selves. Health and happiness result from being in harmony with our own nature.
Dr. Bach divided 38 essences into seven group, representing fundamental conflicts, which prevent us from being true to ourselves: Fear, Uncertainty, Insufficient interest in present circumstances, Loneliness, Over-sensitivity to influences and ideas, Despondency or despair, Over-care for the welfare of others. Within each group, the essences each covers a specific nature of the difficulty concerned. Just as Dr.Bach identified the seven areas of conflict which interfere with our health, so he defined the stages in the healing of disease...Peace, Hope, Joy, Faith, Certainty, Wisdom, Love.
At different times I need different remedies so I take the below quiz often to assess my needs. But the one that is always with me is Impatiens, this one helps when driving and navigating the crazy drivers in Seattle. A few drops under my tough relax me and help me to go with the flow.
