Can the flower essences be used for physical diseases or complaints?
Sometimes there is a direct relationship between a particular illness and a flower essence. For example, a person who is mentally rigid and unbending may develop an arthritic condition, but you would need the choose the remedy or remedies according to the mental condition, not the physical. Flower essences do not work bio-chemically like aspirin does for a headache, but they can affect our experience of our bodies. For example, essences which help release emotional stress may result in less physical tension. Flower essences can help people who suffer from physical illness by addressing the emotional responses to the illness, and by working with the underlying conflicts and tensions that may have contributed to the onset of the illness. However, flower essences are not cures for any specific illness, and are chosen on the basis of mental and emotional issues, rather than specific physical complaints.
