Has anyone tried Bach flower remedies?

Yes, but most of them have an alcohol base, about 11% alcohol. I don't know if they do non-alcoholic

So, I like them, but I always get a weird reaction from the alcohol.

I used to use them. They are vibrational and very interesting. I think now I am at the place where I can just set my intentions and focus on where I want to be.

If I was to use them again I would put them in a spray bottle with essential oils and spray for a lift. (because of the alchohol)

I have heard only good things about Bach flowers, to my understanding its just like Homeopathy but centered in the psychoemotional aspect of the being rather than physical. Why have you been recommended Bach Flower in the first place anyway?

To my knowledge, it's always mixed with brandy...

I was recomended them for keeping up hope while I battle disease, and also for having the courage to follow my dreams.

there's a company in Vermont, and I forget the name, that distills their own flower essences which are combined with vinegar for a long shelf life (no alcohol). I've used the remedies from that company in the early part of 2000 to deal with emotional issues, and they were very effective.

Yes, I believe you can make your own although I don't know how. There has also been a pet rescue remedy made with no alcohol.

I was taking Gorse for a while to help me deal with my grandmothers death. That did help

YES.
i love them beyond belief.
every day i make my mix in a little jar of water, sipping it throughout the day. this way there is no alcohol taste at all.

the first one i ever got was the rescue remedy as it had been very highly recommended to me-- it has stopped me in the middle of a full on panic attack before, its very powerful... but also gentle :) sometimes i use it for just mild anxiety.

since it was so effective i started buying some others and learning as much as i could about them. they are brilliant. i have about ten of them. every morning when i mix them i say a little affirmation for each essence that i use.

note that they say on the bottle that you can mix up to 7.
right now im mixing 9. :)
they are non-toxic; the only reason they say this is because the more you mix, the less effective each one will be, but they will still have effect, and this is a better choice than leaving out an essence that you really feel you need!!! i know that over time i will phase some of them out.

i have felt incredible improvements being on them.
give one a try!
do you have a chart so you could decide which one(s) to use?

Oh, I'm so glad they work so well for you!

I borrowed a book about them at the library, and found a seller that lets you mix your own bottle. I decided on Clematis, Walnut, Wild oat, Willow and Water Violet. (Apparently I have a thing for flowers beginning with "W" :))

nice selection :) i have clematis. (i always think it sounds like an std, HAHA)
that one is working on a loooong trend so i havent seen drastic changes, but im seeing slow ones :)
remember that it takes longer to change habits/mindsets that have been in place for a long time.
