Peace of Mind by the Drop

Two drops of a flower essence can change your pet’s mental state and restore or strengthen his peace of mind.  Flower essences work on a body’s vibrational field to modify specific personality traits, moods or an emotional state of mind.  Once the body’s emotional balance is corrected, the immune system is strengthened and peace of mind is restored.  Hocus-pocus?  Maybe, but flower essences have been shown to work empirically and scientifically on adults, children, animals and even plants.  For pets, flower essences have been used on such diverse problems as performance anxiety, separation problems, aggression and lack of concentration.  A flower essence is the distilled energy of specific flowers that correspond to particular traits or emotions.  These relationships were discovered and the methodology perfected by Dr. Edward Bach in the 1930s.  Flower essences are not drugs and carry no risk of adverse side effects.  They will not interfere with prescription drugs and can be used alone or with herbal or homeopathic treatments.  Flower essences can be given by dropper, spray or cream, internally or externally.  The liquid version of the remedies is simply a water or brandy base with several drops of the indicated essence.  Up to six essences can be combined in one remedy.  Most commonly, flower essences are used for pets with problem behaviors such as fearfulness or aggression as well as stress.  Rescue Remedy is by far the best known flower essence.  It is made from five flowers and is used for emergency situations as well as in times of general stress (i.e., vet visits, storms, dog shows, etc.) Rescue Remedy comes premixed in a dropper bottle, a spray bottle and a Rescue Remedy Cream.  Our pets are all subject to stress and emotional disturbances.  Through the power of these gentle remedies, we can help them achieve emotional and physical well-being.
