How to Choose the Right Bach Flower Remedy for Your Animal

The Bach Flower Remedy system comprises 38 different remedies. This may seem a lot to navigate. You may already be aware of one 'remedy' - which actually comprises 5 of them, which is Rescue Remedy. This can helpful for 'crisis' and 'emergency' situations.

Where do you start choosing a Bach Flower Remedy?

So as there are 38 where do you start? First off they are for balancing the emotions, and help with negative mental states. As you know yourself, there are many emotions you experience every day. The reasons for these can be various. And the same applies to our animals. It's important to emphasise that they are not used to treat physical illness direct. Indeed some ailments such as broken bones cannot be treated with a Bach Flower Remedy.

By restoring emotional wellbeing they can help the body's equilibrium. This is important. You can have two horses for example, who may appear to have the same issue. But their recovery and progress will be different. This is because everyone, animal or human is different. How we respond to situations is different.

If two horses were on box rest following a ligament or tendon injury, then their response to this will vary. One horse maybe subdued. Another may appear very fraught, kicking the walls for instance. So the emotional responses will require different Bach Flower Remedies.

Rescue Remedy Considerations

It's worth noting that although Rescue Remedy is helpful to have, if used often. This can suggest an underlying issue., that needs resolving. For instance it can help if there are thunderstorms that your animal finds scary. But depending on your animal:

• 'Mimulus' could help. As this is for everyday fear and anxiety caused by known things.
• Whereas 'Rock Rose' can help with terror and extreme fear.
• Aspen can help with fear or anxiety with no known cause.

Understanding your animal's 'normal' emotions and how he or she copes everyday is important. That way you can ensure the best remedies are used.

So in conclusion…. with 38 remedies in the Bach Flower Remedy system, you will have a whole lifetime of choice! As your animal goes through different life stages and experiences day to day life, there will be a remedy to help.

Being aware of your animal's behaviour and emotions is important. So take time to watch, listen and 'just be' with your animal, Whether you've had them a short time or for many years you can find a remedy in the system to help.

Remember.. With any issue it's important to get professionally qualified help.
