Flower essences are a safe and natural way to deal with many of the physical and emotional problems of infants and small children. They are herbal remedies which contain the energetic healing pattern of flowers infused in water and preserved (usually) with alcohol. Flower essences interact with the human energy field to harmonise the emotions, calm and clear the mind and bring about a sense of peace and well-being. Natural, safe, and non-habit forming; they have no side effects and can be used by everyone. It is also safe to use them alongside all other treatments or therapies (allopathic or holistic). This makes them the perfect remedies for new born babies, infants and children. The first 38 flower essences were made in England in the 1930s by Dr. Edward Bach. Today thousands of flower essences are being made all over the world.

Fears & Phobias
