BACH Flower Remedies

Bella Parcell, BFRP

     Working in the health industry for over 30 years, Bella was originally trained in England as a teacher of Food and Nutrition. Her Degree in Education also focused on Psychology, and she became a Health Consultant, with successful practices in England and the U.S.

     Fortunate to learn about and pass her Bach Foundation Practitioners Exam in Sotwell, England - the home of Dr Edward Bach and the original Bach Flower Remedies – Bella came over to the US and worked with Nelson Bach USA, being one of the 3 educators lecturing on the International Education Program throughout the US. This modality centers around 38 oral essences used to neutralize negative thoughts.

     Using the consultative approach in her practice today, Bella enables clients to be heard – sometimes for the first time – and provides a specially-created oral dropper bottle from the essences to regain emotional balance. Along with personal consults, Bella also runs teleclasses to enable patients to learn more about the powerful healing provided by these Essences.

Bach Flower Essences in Our Daily Life   

Our daily life is often associated with different kinds of discomfort, such as, headaches, asthma, migraines, allergies or insomnia.  The philosophy behind the Bach Flower Essences is that disease is a way for our body to tell us that we are doing something that goes against our own true self. Such a conflict can be the root cause of disease and unhappiness. 

Dr. Bach was a renowned physician in London who in 1930 gave up his practice to devote all of his time to the search for a new method of healing. For many years he had sought a natural and pure way to heal people. He noticed how different people reacted differently to the exact same disease. One could be cheerful and hide his worries while another would be very depressed with no hope for tomorrow. Dr. Bach believed that those two patients should be treated differently, not strictly according to the disease, but according to their emotions. In 1928 when Dr. Bach discovered the first of 38 Essences he was very excited and started to administer them to his patients, with immediate and successful results. The cheerful patients would acknowledge their worries and the depressed patients would regain hope. The Essences restored their emotional balance allowing their bodies to heal themselves.

    When prescribing the Essences, Dr. Bach would look at the patient's emotional health and not the disease, since he believed disease to be caused by emotional imbalances. He would look at their outlook on life: Does the patient have low self-esteem? Does he or she criticize others? Is he dominating? Is she fearful? And so on. The patient may say, "I am so impatient", "I feel so lonely", "I just have to live with it" or "I feel that I am going to explode." 

The Essences would then be chosen to correspond with the patients' emotional outlook on life, allowing them to be in harmony with themselves and their soul and therefore regain health. A remedy such as Larch will help a person with low self-esteem, Mimulus will help a person who is fearful and Pine will help a person who feels guilt. 

     The Bach Flower Essences has been used successfully with people of all ages, to treat everything from shyness, homesickness, tantrums, low self-esteem, trauma, exam nerves and adolescent angst. The healing process can be described as peeling a cabbage, the size of which depends on how old and how many unresolved problems the person has had. Therefore, the young person will easily be brought back in harmony with him or herself by the gentle effect off the Bach Flower Essences. An older person with a hard life filled with problems and unhappiness will still benefit greatly from the remedies, a and find relief immediately, but it will take some time to get to the core of the cabbage.

    Healthy people with harmony in their life may also need Bach Flower Essences for a short period of time. There may be times where you experience bad news, get into an accident or wake up "not quite yourself," and with only a small dose of Bach Flower Remedies you will regain your normal harmony again. Dr. Edward Bach used to say "If cold, put on a cardigan and, if hungry, have something to eat; if you wake up one day lacking in confidence take some drops of Larch."

    Disharmony happens when we ignore the problems and do not put them into proper perspective. By the energy of the Flower Essences we are brought back in harmony with ourselves, very effectively and gently.
