Bach Flower Remedy is
the use of certain flower essences to treat emotional problems.
The method has been used since the 1930's, when Dr. Edward Bach
observed that personality types had a close relation to certain
patterns of illness.
Some of you will have heard of Bach Flower Remedies,
but may not be fully aware of the power of the healing properties
they offer. These special flower remedies have been available
and
used throughout the world since 1936, when Dr. Bach died. You will
find excellent Health Food Shops in Andalucia. In Spanish look
for
"Herboristería". There is at least
one Herboristería in every town
and in the larger cities there will be several. All along the
Costa
del Sol, you will find such shops are often run by Swedish, British,
Danish and other nationalities, as well as many Spanish run shops.
Bach Flower Remedies are often labeled in English, but if you find
yourself in a Spanish Herboristería,
then look for 'Flores de Bach'.
Unless you have specific knowledge about how to
use the flower remedies, it's best to consult with a naturopath
or homeopathic practitioner for advice. If you are in the Costa
del Sol area, you are more likely to find English speaking assistance
in the Health Shop. If you prefer to speak to a Bach Flower expert,
whether in the multicultural area of the Costa del Sol and especially
if you are visiting inland Andalucia, the Herboristeria
is your first port of call. There will usually be a notice board
listing specialist treatments, including contact numbers. Whether
you speak Spanish or not, its well worth making a local phone call
to find out if the practitioner speaks some English. In some inland
towns, such as Granada, Seville and Cordoba - away from the bustle
and more international area of the holiday coastline, you may still
be pleasantly surprised to be able to speak English. If not, it
may be worth finding someone to translate for you.
A consultation should begin with a chat about why
you would like to use Bach Flower Remedies and about your emotional
state. A good practitioner will be noticing not just what you say,
but how you say it. She/he will be noting voice tone, body posture
and how you answer certain questions. Often its as much what you
don't say as what you say, that reveals how you are coping with
a particular situation. On this basis, the Bach Flower expert can
ascertain which flower remedies will suit your needs. You will be
given a customized mix of flower essences and told how many drops
to take per day and for how long.
This is a particularly pleasant therapy to combine
with other practices, such as meditation and gem remedies. If you
have a particular emotional problem - perhaps recovering from a
trauma of some kind; divorce, death of a loved one, recovering from
illness, etc. inner Andalucia is a very calm and mystical place
to rest and regain strength. The Alpujarra Mountain area in the
Granada Region is renowned for their spiritual and healing properties.
Another beautiful area of Andalucia to rest and regain your emotional
balance is along the Atlantic Coast from Tarifa (best known for
its windsurfing) to Cadiz.
If you decide to retreat for peace and quiet to either of these
two areas while taking your Bach Flower Remedy, avoid extreme temperatures
and busy holiday times. Granada and the Alpujarra Mountain area
can be very cold in winter, with the Sierra Nevada Ski Station open
from December to April. The Atlantic resort of Tarifa is very hot
and windy and busy with keen young windsurfers from June to September
and is especially popular in July and August.
