Continuing on with our theme of Naturopathic support for stress, we come to flower essences!
At Malvern Natural Health Care, our Naturopaths and Kinesiologists are always seeking to treat the WHOLE person. Flower essences are a beautifully gentle tool that we can use to ensure our clients emotional and spiritual wellbeing is supported, alongside their physical.
There are many type of flower essences available, the two most widely used being: Dr Bach’s and Australian Bush Flower Essences (ABFE) Our MNHC clinic dispensary stocks the full range of these flower essences which are available to the public or via professional consultation.
Flower Essences work on an energetic and emotional level. Allowing negative thoughts, perceptions and beliefs, which are not serving you, to be let go of. Creating space to nourish positivity, happiness and peace in our energetic and emotional field.
Although they do not change our life situations to be less stressful, the remedies arm us with positive attitudes and perceptions, which make adapting to the challenges life presents, a little easier.
Kinesiology and Flower Essences
Kinesiology and flower essences are intrinsic in nature, both working together to defuse stressors and blockages within the body, mind and soul. Therefore, allowing our natural healing processes to occur, and optimal health and personal potential to be attained.
Our Kinesiologist has the ability to determine the specific action your body is seeking from a particular flower essence, and create individualised blends suited to you and your current needs.
Naturopathy and Flower Essences
Our Naturopaths may use flower essences as part of a treatment plan that can include herbal medicine, nutrition, diet, lifestyle counselling or positive psychotherapy.
Flower Essences to support during times of stress
To further your understanding of how flower essences can work and support you during times of stress, we will look at a few of the Bach Flower Essences that bring ease, restoration and light, during times of stress and upheaval.
Elm – Overwhelm

Olive – Restoration

Oak – Endurance
For those that push on, well past their limits. Oak encourages sustainable endurance. Allowing you to stay strong and persevere, whilst understanding and accepting your limits.
Hornbeam – mental exhaustion
For those that have reached the point of dismal mental capacity for everyday tasks. Hornbeam remedies the ‘Monday morning feeling’ or the 9-5 emotional burnout. Hornbeam brings self-assurance and motivation, to cope with demanding days and the obstacles of the weekly schedule, with optimism and certainty.
White chestnut – running thoughts
For those with a racing-thoughts that occupy the mind against your will. Circling round and round causing such mental anguish you may feel incapacitated.
