The 10 Most Frequently Asked Questions:
Who can take Bach flower remedies?  There are no prohibitions regarding who can use Bach flowers. Even those suffering from chronic illnesses, the elderly, and infants can use them. In addition, Bach flowers have a wonderful effect on pets and plants. How should the essences be stored?  The bottle should be wrapped in a paper bag by the user. Do not refrigerate it or store it near electrical appliances or in the sun. Do coffee, alcohol, and nicotine have adverse effects on Bach Flowers?  Generally these drugs do not have a negative influence on the effect of Bach Flowers. On the contrary, Bach Flowers help to regulate the use of these substances. How should the essences be administered?  We draw a distinction between an essence taken for a particular, temporary situation or condition (for example, situation-specific stress such as an upcoming exam) and one taken for a fundamental, “chronic” problem. A situation-specific essence can be taken two ways: 1. Eight drops in a cup of mineral water, sipped slowly 2. Four drops under the tongue as needed Not less than eight drops a day should be taken for immediate effect. Personal Compound: Four drops should be placed under the tongue four times a day: 1. Upon awakening in the morning 2. At night before going to sleep 3. The other two times can be at the patient’s convenience, sometime in the morning and in the afternoon. * During the first few days of treatment, taking the drops six times a day (four drops each time) is recommended. I have sleeping problems; are there any Bach flowers combination that help?  Here are some formulas that can help: If you are not able to fall asleep: White Chestnut + Impatiens (Take 4 drops an hour before going to bed) If you are waking frequently: Impatiens + Vervain If you awake with nightmares: Impatiens + Vervain + Rock Rose (Take 4 drops every time you awake; not more than 3 x times a night) If you are waking up too early in the morning: Impatiens + Walnut (Take 4 drops x 4 times a day) Can you tell me what your shipping charges are?  Please click on 'Shipping: Estimate' link on shopping cart page to find out the shipping charges for your order. Is there such a thing as a correct or incorrect combination?  An incorrect combination can be suggested whenever a situation is not perceived correctly, and while not dangerous, the more precise the assessment of a situation and the choice of Flowers are, the more effective the combination will be. When, for example, six specific Flowers are needed in a combination but only three of them are used and three “less correct” ones are also used, the results may still be positive but the progress will be slower. In practice, each combination can be more or less precise in addressing a specific situation. A problem can be approached from many different angles; one therapist may prescribe a slightly different combination than another does for the same person and the same reasons—and both may lead to positive results. However, it is not advisable to take more than one combination at a time. In Bach Flower Therapy it has proved to be more effective to work with one partner or therapist and one issue at a time. Is it possible to overdose with Bach Flowers?  According to the principle of how Bach Flowers work, an overdose is theoretically impossible. Should the essence be taken before or during eating?  The essence should be taken on an empty stomach, within 30 - 60 minutes before or after eating. If you forget a dose, take it immediately upon remembering. Is it possible to manipulate children through the use of Bach Flowers?  In principle Bach Flowers cannot be an instrument of manipulation for either adults or children. Bach Flowers have an effect only when they are needed. Because their effect is to strengthen connection to Inner Guidance, those taking Essences are ultimately less subject to manipulation. Even if Bach Flowers were to be used to transform a very lively child into one who is better adapted to a situation or environment, the treatment would not be successful because the child’s true nature is lively. It isn’t possible to create an entirely new character trait in a child.
