When did people begin taking flower essences?
History records that ancient Egyptian, Chinese, and Indian civilizations used flowers to heal the emotions. Paracelus collected dew from the petals of flowers, diluted it and used it to treat imbalances in the 15th Century. More recently, Dr. Edward Bach, a physician and homeopath, developed thirty eight flower essences from English flowers in the 1930’s. His research revealed that flower essences balance the disharmony between the body and the mind which leads to physical illness and emotional distress.
