Homeopathic & Flower Remedies

Complementary and alternative medicines have long been employed for a wide range of emotional concerns.

They use naturally derived substances to help support the body and mind, in what is seen as an holistic approach, where the body and mind are considered as a whole.

How to take flower remedies

Bach flower remedies usually come in a liquid form, which you can drop onto your tongue or else mix with water to drink.

These liquids can be taken individually or combined with other essences to offer support with a range of negative emotions.

But if you would prefer an alternative to liquid drops, these flower remedies are also available as tablets, chewing gum, lozenges and as a spray, which can be sprayed directly onto the tongue.
