A Bit about "Energy"
Dr. Bach discovered that flowers and trees each have their own energy signature, just as we do. When this energy was imprinted into water, the resulting essence is used to balance our emotional states.This "energy" is part of all living things. There are 76 different words for it in other parts of the World. In China it is called "Chi" (as in Chi-Gong); in Japan "Ki" (as in Reiki) ; in India "Prana", "Mana" in Polynesia, etc. Most cultures have their own healing ways based on affecting this life force energy. Homeopathy and Acupuncture are other examples of energy modalities.
Flower essence therapy is sometimes confused with Aromatherapy, which is something quite different. Essential oils are highly fragrant, made from raw plant material, and are usually used externally. The Flower Essences are liquid tinctures comprised of the flower essence, spring water and brandy which acts as a preservative.The drops have virtually no taste or odour and are taken internally. It is their interaction with our own "energy" which acts as a catalyst for change.
