Helping the body heal can often be very frustrating. Years ago, a
physician/botanist, Edward Bach, pondered why some patients seemed not very
ill or weakened, and yet they did not respond as well to standard treatment
as was expected. It was as if they lacked the will to get better. Dr. Bach
successfully identified several emotional and psychological traits and
various plants that helped to alleviate these traits.
The use of flower remedies in animals is especially exciting. Unlike many
humans, animals never, ever doubt the true power of something simply because
they do not understand it, or how it works. They simply enjoy the support
they are provided with and the healing that may occur. Owners who choose to
use flower remedies to help alleviate a pet's stress, to aid in
rehabilitation or to be used in preventing disease, do appreciate the
subtleness of these wonderfully healing remedies. The result is often
remarkable.
Physical and emotional stress can severely cripple the immune system and
the body's ability to support itself. When this stress is reduced, the body
often responds much more quickly to whatever method is used and healing can
be easier on the pet. Remember that some of these descriptions make more
sense when applied to humans, you have to sometimes get a “sense” for the
total picture from their attitude or personality.
