A real cure for every illness can only occur when far-reaching emotional balance is reconstructed. Emotions such as fear, stress, helplessness or loneliness can trigger certain signals in the brain. Every person will experience emotional imbalances at some stage in their life. In the long-term, these imbalances can build up to an illness. Every plant has an effect on our emotions. Flower remedies memorise the frequency of the plant and it’s environment and can therefore help us to balance our emotions.

“Flower remedies cure not only by attacking the disease, but by Higher Nature in the presence of which, disease melts away as snow in the sunshine. There is no healing unless there is a change in outlook, peace of mind and inner happiness”. Dr. Edward Bach

For further reading, the books Guide to Holistic Healing in the New Millennium, and Living Wild Flower Remedies – The Stepanovs Method are recommended.
