Can the Bach Flower Essences be used for physical diseases or complaints?
Yes and no. No, in that there may be no direct correspondence between a particular illness or disease and a flower essence. The Bach system views physical disorder as the outcome of emotional/spiritual disorder. The role of the practitioner is to identify these subtle disorders and recommend the Essences which can help to restore the client to inner harmony. Yes, in that there is sometimes a relationship. A person who is mentally rigid and unbending may develop an arthritic condition, for example, but the practitioner would evaluate the mental, not the physical.condition. Yes, because ultimately a state of mental and emotional harmony will eventually express itself in the health of the physical body.
