Lack of confidence, mood swings, stress, disturbed sleep, work pressure, apathy, vulnerability, restlessness, craving, and poor concentration are just a few emotional problems that can lower spirits and undermine well-being.
Although flowers have been used in healthcare since ancient times, the use of flower essences was developed in the 1930s by Dr Edward Bach. Flower Essences can re-energise a tired system and promote well-being, helping to transform negative emotional states into positive ones.
Jan de Vries, the renowned naturopath, has been using Flower Essences in his clinics for many years and identified a need for blends in tune with the specific demands of modern living. The 12 Essences in the Jan de Vries range have been blended with the demands of a 21st century lifestyle in mind. Each combination includes essences for the relief of stress as well as the special essences required for each particular blend. They are bowel essence, child essence, concentration essence, confidence essence, craving essence, emergency essence, female essence, male essence, mood essence, night essence, relaxation essence and vitality essence.
The blends are created from a range of flower essences prepared from European plants, bushes and trees. The individual essences are selected not only for their healing characteristics but also for their colour which brings an energetic balance to the final preparation.
Appropriate flower essences are chosen for how a person feels about life and to suit the individual’s special needs.
Flower Essences have no contraindications so can be taken alongside supplements and medication. They are taken orally in a little water or directly under the tongue. They cost €5.39 each for 30ml. Emergency Essence 15ml is also available for €3.09. Essences are available from Evergreen Healthfoods in Galway Shopping Centre, Westside Shopping Centre, Barna, Moycullen and on Mainguard Street, Galway city.
