Bach Flower Remedies for Animals

How can Bach Flowers help animals?

Bach Flowers with animals

It was not Dr. Bach’s intention to make Bach flowers for animals; he

developed them in the first place to help human beings. However, thanks to

the great success that Bach Flowers had with people, Bach Flowers were tried

out on animals as well.

Horses, dogs, cats, rabbits, hamsters, guinea pigs, and birds 

experience emotions. It is because Bach Flowers work on emotions that they

do not need to be limited to humans – they are capable of helping animals too.

Bach Flowers are essences that are derived from plants and trees. They are completely non-toxic and have very little taste or smell but work gently to balance the emotional and physical bodies of the animal. We generally choose between three and six essences to form an animal's remedy.

Today, flower essences are well-known all over the world. More than 20 different flower essence systems. The founder of flower essence therapy was the English doctor Edward Bach, who was born in 1930-36.

In a living system, the frequencies of flower essences interact with the system's frequencies. In human beings and animals, you find frequencies from < 1 Hz to over 1018 Hz so that you can have endless interactions.

Animals and Emotions

Why do dogs bite? 

Why do they wag their tails? Are dogs genuinely happy

when you arrive home? And why do cats purr? There is not one simple answer

to any of these questions.

According to Edward Bach's philosophy, flower therapy can treat energetic disbalance in humans (and animals). However, Bach Flower Therapy is only one of many instruments we use to assist animals. It also has its possibilities and its limits!

Bach Flower Therapy is indicated for all psychosomatic problems, for behavioural problems, for diseases resistant to all used therapies-for example fearful and timid animals, mourning animals, hyperactive animals, barking dogs, spraying cats or animals refusing medicaments.

Before using Bach Flower Therapy on animals, check to see if they aren't undercooled, starved, or exhausted causes.

How Do You Use Bach Flowers?

Dosage

The dose is 6 x 4 drops per day

For horses: 6 x 10 drops spread over the day or extra drops during hard times.

Application

With people the drops are taken directly on the tongue or dissolved in a bottle

of water. With animals it is not always that straightforward. Luckily there are

various methods to take Bach Flowers. Every way works just as fine.

• Directly on the tongue

• Dissolved in water

• Mixed into the food

• On a biscuit or cookie

• Rub the drops on their mouth or behind their ears

You should ensure that when you dissolve the daily dosage in water, the water

is completely finished by the end of the day.

How long does a treatment take?

For good and lasting results a course of 3 months is recommended. The first

results can already be felt after a few days or weeks, depending on the animal.

A bottle of 50 ml will last 1 month. The first effects will normally be felt within the

first month. The second month will see the most obvious changes, and the third

month is necessary to stabilise and maintain the results.

Acute stress

The Flower treatment for an animal that has experienced a specific situation of acute stress (e.g. being run over by a car without significant physical consequences, a fight with another animal, a fall or a contusion, a loud noise, etc.) should include those remedies that help the animal deal with the post-traumatic panic after effects, and those that regulate its level of excitement.

The following is an Example:

Bach Flowers treat noise-induced fear and traumatic panic:

Rock Rose (panic) + Star of Bethlehem (trauma, shock) + Sweet Chestnut (extreme anguish) + Rescue Remedy (emergency).

administer the formula in direct application.
