The famous British physician Dr. Edward Bach (1886-1936) developed a therapy based on flower essences. His theory is that treating illnesses in isolation is not enough, and that they always come back. It's a negative state of mind that depletes an organism's vitality, leaving it vulnerable or even ill in the long run. The cause must therefore be tackled at a much earlier stage, by restoring the body's psychic harmony. Formerly intended for humans, they can also be administered to certain animals, such as cats and dogs.
The elixir is obtained by solarization, a process which involves macerating flowers in water in the sun for several hours: unlike essential oils, Bach flowers are therefore harmless and have no side effects.
It is now recognized that animals are not machines, and feel emotions in the same way as humans. Bach flower therapy helps to rebalance their moods. Very simple to use, non-invasive, non-aggressive and with virtually no side effects, Bach Flowers are even more effective on animals than on humans. They are particularly useful for dogs, an animal so close to man through the affection they have for each other.
Bach Flower Remedies, created in the 1930s by Dr. Edward Bach, are liquid extracts of flowers and plants that target emotional and physical balance. These remedies, originally designed for humans, have proved effective for animals too. They act on the animal's emotional state, thus positively influencing its physical well-being. The main idea behind Bach Flower Remedies is that emotional well-being is intimately linked to general health. The various flower extracts are chosen according to the animal's emotional and behavioral symptoms, such as anxiety, fear or aggression, with the aim of restoring balance and promoting a state of well-being.
Yes, traditional Bach Flower Remedies contain alcohol as a preservative, but the concentration is generally low and suitable foruse in animals. Some formulas for animals contain around 0.2% alcohol, an amount considered safe. This is important because alcohol can be an irritant or a problem for some animals, especially those of small size or with particular sensitivities. Nevertheless, it is crucial to check the composition and dosage before using Bach Flower Remedies on animals. Alcohol-free formulas are also available for more sensitive animals, or for owners who prefer to avoid alcohol.
Using Bach Flower Remedies on animals requires an understanding of their emotional and behavioral needs. These remedies are administered according to the specific problem the animal is experiencing. For example, for an anxious animal, we might use "Rescue Remedy", a blend designed for stress and anxiety, or "Mimulus" for specific fears. It can be administered in various ways: directly into the animal's mouth, mixed with its food or water, or applied to the skin in places such as the ears or paws. It is always advisable to consult a veterinarian or Bach Flower specialist for personalized advice and to ensure that the treatment is suitable and safe for the animal concerned.
Giving Bach Flowers to cats requires a delicate approach, given their sensitivity to smells and tastes. For cats, Bach Flowers can be mixed with drinking water or applied to a small area of skin, such as the top of the head or the paws. Caution is advised when introducing any new treatment, so start with small doses and observe the cat's reaction. As cats are particularly sensitive creatures, it's important not to overload them with strong smells or flavors. In some cases, a consultation with a Bach Flower specialist may be necessary to determine the best approach and appropriate dosage.
To manageanxiety in dogs, certain Bach Flower Remedies are particularly suitable. "Rescue Remedy", a blend of five flower essences, is often recommended for acute stress and anxiety. For more specific fears, "Mimulus" is useful, while "Aspen" can be beneficial for unexplained fears. It's crucial to choose the essence that best matches the animal's symptoms and behavior. If in doubt, a consultation with a professional experienced in the use of Bach Flower Remedies for animals can provide valuable advice and ensure that the treatment is well adapted to the dog's specific needs. The administration of Bach Flower Remedies to an anxious dog must be carried out with care and attention. The essence chosen should correspond to the animal's specific manifestations of anxiety. For example, for a dog showing signs of nervousness before specific events, such as car journeys, "Mimulus" might be appropriate. On the other hand, if the anxiety is more general or linked to unpredictable situations, "Aspen" might be more suitable. It's important to note that the effectiveness of Bach Flower Remedies can vary between individuals, and what works for one dog may not be as effective for another. Observation and dosage adjustment are crucial to achieving the best results. In some cases, a combination of several essences may be needed to fully manage the dog's anxiety.
The choice of Bach Flower for an animal depends on its emotional state and behavior. For example, for an animal that seems nervous or fearful, "Mimulus" is often recommended. For an animal that is overworked or seems indifferent, "Wild Rose" may be useful. " Cherry Plum" is used for animals that seem to have difficulty controlling their impulses or are prone to sudden reactions. It's important to understand the animal's behavior and emotions in order to choose the most appropriate remedy. In some cases, a consultation with a qualified Bach Flower Remedies for Animals professional can provide valuable advice and ensure that the right remedy is chosen to effectively treat the animal's specific needs.
