Childlight: Holistic Child Therapy - Marchants House Therapy Centre Flower remedies and essences are a key part of holistic therapies for children

Flower Remedies

Our holistic approach to child therapy can include the recommendation of carefully chosen flower essences for your child, if appropriate. These are entirely natural, non-intrusive and gentle - and can be used for children of any age.

They work on the emotional nature or state of mind of the child, rather than any physical symptoms – and because they work gently, it can take time for their effects to be fully noticed. However, we find that children tend to respond faster than adults to flower remedies, as they do with the other therapies we use.

We only recommend the essences we have used and found to be helpful. In particular, we like to use the remedies made by Bailey Flower Essences as well as the Bach Flower Remedies, which are probably still the most well known. The English physician Dr. Edward Bach invented these essences in the 1930's, and they are used throughout the world.

Flower remedies are an ancient form of healthcare, and they have been found in aboriginal cultures throughout the world. They are, by definition, made from the flowering part of the plant.

However, there are some Essences now available, which are made from other parts of plants as well as minerals and gems.
