Australian Bush Flower Essences
from the ABF society, wild flowers are ancient aboriginal rescue remedies for humans and pets.
Australian Bush Flower Remedies are not new. The Australian Aboriginals have always used flowers to heal the emotions as did the Ancient Egyptians. They were also very popular in the Middle Ages. Paracelsus in the 15th Century wrote about how he collected dew from flowering plants, diluted it and used the liquid to treat imbalances.
This healing method was rediscovered by Dr. Edward Bach sixty years ago through the use of English flowering plants. Today our society and its needs are totally different to that of sixty years ago. There has been a great need for remedies that would help people deal with the issues of the nineties - sexuality, communication skills and spirituality to name but a few. The answer to this need has come from the Australian plants, developed and researched by Naturopath, Ian White.
Australian Bush Flower Essences
Ian comes from a long line of herbalists and grew up in the Australian bush. As a young boy his grandmother, like her mother before her, specialised in using Australian plants and would often take him into the bush. From her deep understanding she would point out the many healing plants and flowers. He learned a profound respect for nature through her and he too became a practitioner and started working with native plants.
Australia has the world's oldest and highest number of flowering plants which have both beauty and strength. Also Australia is relatively unpolluted and metaphysically has a very wise, old energy.
At this time there is a tremendous new vitality in this country. This, combined with the inherent power of the land, is why the Australian Bush Flower Essences are unique. Practitioners and prescribers worldwide are now incorporating the Australian Essences to form an integral part of their therapy.
The Australian Bush Flower Remedies not only help to give clarity to one's life but also the courage, strength and commitment to follow and pursue one's goals and dreams. They help to develop a higher level of intuition, self esteem, spirituality, creativity and fun. The more the Essences are used, the more one is likely to experience greater awareness and happiness in one's life. Then everyone benefits....the individual, society and the planet.
The effect of these Essences is similar to that of meditation in that they enable the person to access the wisdom of their Higher Self. This releases negative beliefs held in the subconscious mind and allows the positive virtues of the Higher Self - love, joy, faith, courage etc. to flood their being. When this happens the negative beliefs and thoughts are dissolved and balance is restored.
