Most people are probably familiar with the Bach Flower Remedies, developed in the 1930s by homeopath Edward Bach as he intuited the emotional energies of plants and trees and how these could help individuals move through emotional issues. Flower essences are liquid, potentized plant preparations which convey a distinct imprint of a specific flower. Each flower embodies a specific soul quality/emotional aspect we might be struggling with and acts as a catalyst to help us re-establish harmony between ourselves and our soul by flooding our natures with the subtle energy of that quality. By recognizing the relationship between body and soul, they affect us on a vibrational level and help us move through emotional issues in a gentle yet powerful manner. There are now many different flower remedies available from all over the world and many of the patterns of imbalance which would keep us from harmony and health are recognized and addressed. I have used them successfuly as part of therapy with my clients for some time and feel that they are an invaluable tool. Please check the link on the "Internet Links" to the Flower Essence Society - there are some wonderful photos of the different flowers.
