The Wonderful Dr Bach Flower Remedies And Their Uses.. Healing Flower Essences

What are the Bach Flower Remedies?

Dr Bach discovered 38 remedies, each for a specific emotional and mental state. They take effect by treating the individual, not the disease or the symptoms of the disease. They work specifically on the emotional condition of the person concerned.

The effects of taking the remedies is not to suppress negative attitudes but to transform them into positive ones, stimulating one's own potential for self-healing and freeing the physical system to engage fully in fighting disease and stress.

The Bach Flower Remedies have no adverse effects. However, like other forms of natural medicine, they may allow suppressed symptoms to surface. These could include such things as rashes while the body is being cleared of toxins, or an awareness of emotions which have been denied expression. These are an important part of the healing process and are only temporary.

Note:
The Bach Flower Remedies can be taken alongside medication, including homoeopathic remedies, without any interference at all.

A Vogel Echinacea - Colds and Flu

You can do a lot by keeping your immune system up. There's lots of supplements that can help here but the nation's favourite is Echinacea, for good reasons too. At Elixir, we like A Vogel's brand of Echinacea. Did you know that all the plants used to make Echinaforce are descended from the seeds Ben Black Elk (a Sioux medicine man) gifted to Alfred Vogel, the Swiss naturopath who brought Echinacea to Europe?

So, new to Echinacea? How does it work? Echinaforce is a traditional herbal remedy for colds and flu. It helps the body fight the symptoms of these infections by supporting the immune system, helping to maintain the body’s resistance. Echinaforce contains extracts of freshly harvested, organically grown Echinacea purpurea herb and root. A Vogel's plants are picked fresh and used within 24 hours of harvest - this has been shown by research to produce almost three times more active substances than the same amount of dried herb. When you need to fight the misery of colds and flu, not all Echinaceas are the same!

To round up: Echinacea helps fight symptoms of colds and flu.  It comes as drops and tablets and it's licence states that it's "a traditional herbal remedy used for the symptomatic relief of colds, influenza type infections and similar upper respiratory tract conditions."
