The purchase of Bach flowers takes place mainly in herbal medicine or in a pharmacy where it is possible to have your personal mixture prepared.
This mixture is composed by the flower-therapist, homeopath or naturopath after an interview-interview aimed at bringing out the problems that afflict the person, to associate them with the flower remedies corresponding to altered moods. Let's see how we get to this moment.
Buying Bach Flowers: Collection and Preparation of Bach Flowers
Before reaching our purchase the Bach flowers are collected in uncontaminated places or from areas cultivated according to the procedures of organic agriculture, to keep their properties intact.
Only for Rock Water, the extraction is a bit different: since it is the only Bach remedy that is not a plant, but the water of a rocky source, it is enough to collect this water in a glass container (without touching it with the hands), leave it for four hours in the sun and then extend it with cognac or brandy.
- Method of infusion: the flowers are picked on the spot, without being touched with the hands, and making sure that they are not wet by the dew. By cutting them with scissors, the buds are dropped into a glass container, filled with pure spring water, which is born near the place of collection. So they are left to soak in the sun for 5/6 hours (in Italy, where the sun is warmer than in Wales, 4 are enough). In this way, the flowers, radiated by the sun, release their vibrations or energy into the water.
- Boiling method : when the floral remedy comes from the trees and not from a herbaceous plant, the gems are used instead of being exposed to the sun, they are boiled in the spring water for 20-30 minutes, to allow the transfer of the vibrations, of which the water will bring the " memory " (the concept of presumed "memory of the water" is currently the subject of controversy, because not yet demonstrated experimentally).
Once the infusion or boiling period is over, the water is filtered and the same amount of cognac (or brandy) is added, which is used for storage. This compound is called mother tincture of the single Bach flower.
How to become a flower-therapist?
Bach flowers purchase: the interview
" Man, know yourself, and you will know the universe and the Gods ". This is what is written in the temple of the Oracle of Delphi and asserted by Socrates, to urge his disciples to find the truth within themselves, rather than in the external world, through the technique of maieutics: the art of the midwife, of " take out". In fact, through dialogue and a series of questions Socrates led his interlocutors to discover the truth, which each one carries within himself, and which is a tool to learn more about oneself.
In the same way, Edward Bach argued that "Illness is neither a cruelty in itself, nor a punishment, but only and exclusively a corrective, a tool that our soul uses to show us our mistakes, to keep us from more serious mistakes, to prevent us from raising more shadows and to lead us back to the path of truth and light, from which we should never have strayed.
The purchase of Bach flowers passes through the trust placed in one's floriterapaueta, the therapist who works with Bach flowers. This professional figure accompanies the person to become aware of this aspect of discomfort or emotional malaise, to clarify their nature and personality and modify it, if it is a cause for suffering. the conversation with the flower-therapist serves to bring out from the altered emotional state the causes (transient or character) of that disorder. Through the questions asked by the flower-therapist, the subject will take two important steps:
- Put order in the emotional turmoil to give a coherent explanation of what's wrong with him.
- Go back to the wrong attitude that creates psychological distress.
The interview will identify the typological flowers that are those that reflect the personality and character of the person who will be accompanied by the transient flower remedies, ie those associated with the altered emotional states due to external causes and independent of the will of the person, which cause suffering or pain at that precise historical moment.
There is another way to understand which Bach flowers we need: the VegaTest . This analysis uses an equipment that measures, in a non-invasive and totally painless way, the frequencies present in the body . The test is carried out by placing a spherical tip on a finger of a patient's hand, while the other hand holds one of the bach flowers: this creates a very weak current flow, which carries bioelectronic information. This information indicates whether the flower is appropriate or not.
Purchase of Bach flowers: the personal mixture and its assumption
So as we have seen, you can buy single remedies (mother tinctures) or, after the interview or visit with the vegatest, the personal mixture prepared in a 30 ml bottle, equipped with a dropper. Bach flowers should be taken 4 drops 4 times a day, directly under the tongue in the morning on an empty stomach, and in the evening before bedtime; the other two times can be distributed in the day according to the individual's preference, possibly giving a certain rhythm to the times. If you feel the need it is possible to take Bach flowers even with a higher daily frequency.
