Australian Bush Flower Essences (ABFE)

Personalised Essence bottle with every consultation - in person or online

I am a Specialist ABFE Pracitioner
Flower Essences are not new. Ancient Egyptians used them to bring about emotional balance as the Australian Aborigines have also always done. They were popular in the Middle Ages and in the 15th Century, Paracelsus diluted the dew that he collected from flowering plants and used it to treat imbalances. A lot of this knowledge has been lost, however it is still remembered and used by many Aborigines.
Over 50 years ago, Dr Edward Bach rediscovered flower essences using English flowers and shrubs. He believed that good health was the result of emotional, spiritual and mental harmony, a view shared by Hippocrates, Paracelcus, Aristotle and Hahnemann (the found of homeopathy) In Tibetan Medicine all illness starts from the 3 mental poisons.
There is something remarkable though about the strength and beauty of the Australian flowers. Maybe because they often have to cope with adverse conditions, which give them strength, and they impart these strengths to us. Metaphysically, Australia has always had a very wise, old energy, and it has the largest number of flowering plants which impart their old wisdom and energy to us also. They can be used in any country just as effectively however without losing any of their power.
I have used Bach Flower Essences and other flower and gem essences, but I have found that Australian Bush Remedies are much quicker acting, and work at a deeper level. Because of the mind-body connection, they very much work on the physical level as well as the mental.
The founder of Australian Bush Flower Remedies is 5th generation Herbalist, Naturopath and Homeopath Ian White. He says "the purpose of the Bush Essences, as I see it, is that they assist in clearing the blocks that stop an individual getting in touch with their true or higher self...their own intuitive part which knows their life purpose."
"The Bush Essences not only help to give clarity to one's life purpose, but also the courage, strength and enthusiasm to follow and pursue one's goals and dreams, helping to develop intuition, self esteem, creativity and fun. They also help to revolve and drama an distress in one's life."
Ian makes all of the mother essences himself, often trecking miles to remote locations to find the flowers. He meditates with each flower, and imparts his own wonderful energy into the essences, which is why I believe that these remedies have such a profound effect.
There are 70 individual Australian Bush Remedies and with every client session you will receive a bottle personalised to your unique needs. 7 drops are taken on rising and retiring so it is an easy system. They are taken for between 2-6 weeks depending on the issue. Like peeling off the layers of an onion, we often have to do a number of sessions. I therefore recommend my 6 session packages for the full benefit.
