What happens if I take the wrong Bach Remedy? A. The indications given are common emotional responses to life situations. Bach discovered that these emotional responses predispose physical disorder because of their impact upon your nervous system. This emotional response impacts upon our nervous system and begins to relay out to every organ in our body. The emotional response in and of itself is purely a form of energy. This energy form creates a negative blueprint and the corresponding flower Remedy has a positive vibrational blueprint. Therefore it will bring that energy form back to balance. Therefore, taking a wrong remedy means it has no blue print to reference with and it will have no effect at all. Q. Must I take Bach Health forever? A. No. It may take some time to get beyond all your problems, but you will reach a point where you begin to feel at peace with yourself. You will naturally begin to discontinue their use. However, situations may arise that temporarily destabilize you. At those times you will take the Health and you will find that because it is no longer a deep-seated issue, that the Health will restore balance very quickly. Q. How long can I expect to use Bach Health? A. For acute problems, they should be taken as needed for a period of time which typically wont exceed four or five days. If you are experiencing trauma you can take two drops every five minutes for twenty minutes to an hour. Until you begin to feel stable, then you continue the standard dose of four drops, four times per day. For long-term problems, you will find a range approximating one month for every year of your life you have experienced this problem. However, they act as a support throughout the time you take them. It may be sometime before you can say you have completely gotten beyond this problem. Keep in mind that psychotherapy, yoga, biofeedback or other techniques for releasing stress would speed up this process. Q. What will I feel after taking Bach Health? A. There are no physical sensations that are associated with the Health. What you will sense -- sometimes immediately -- other times within a few days --- is a feeling of mental calmness, hope and finally a sense of peace within yourself. ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ Back to Top ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ Available Bach Remedy Supplements Listed Below
