Flower Essences were first discovered by Dr. Edward Bach, a well known Physician, Bacteriologist, Homeopath and Researcher in the U.K.. Flower essences are similar to homeopathic medicine, in that they use the energetic "imprint' of a flower to help a person heal. Flower essences work primarily on balancing the emotional and spiritual self. It can help aid in one's treatment by gently helping to relieve fear and anxiety, release traumas from any time in one's life, release old patterns, and ease life transitions and changes.

At Whole Family Wellness Center we will often recommend using Flower Essences in conjunction with a patient's treatment, especially when there is an emotional component central to an issue that we are working on. Flower essences are easy to take and inexpensive so can be a great complement to one's acupuncture and herbal treatments. Your acupuncturist will let you know if these may be right for you.
