Australian Bush Flower Essences differ from Bach Flower Essences, which we explored in a previous post. Bach Flower Essences, rediscovered over 80 years ago by Dr. Edward Bach, utilize flowers from English plants and shrubs. Dr. Bach believed that true health stems from emotional, spiritual, and mental harmony, and he emphasized simplicity in his approach.
While flower essences may seem modern, they have been used for centuries. Australian Aboriginals have long incorporated them for emotional balance, as did the ancient Egyptians. Australia is home to the world’s oldest and most diverse range of flowering plants, making its flower essences unique. Australian Bush Flower Essences were developed by renowned naturopath and homeopath Ian White.
Both Bush and Bach Flower Essences are valuable tools for clearing emotional blocks, enhancing intuition and reconnecting with one’s self. They can also help provide clarity on life’s purpose while helping us foster courage, confidence, and motivation to pursue our dreams. Additionally, flower essences support the development of intuition, self-esteem, spirituality, creativity, and joy while helping to resolve emotional distress and inner conflict.
A distinguishing feature of Australian Bush Flower Essences is their recommended usage, which is being taken only upon waking and before sleeping. This is unlike most other flower essence systems, which are often used three to four times daily.
