Many of you are already familiar with Rescue Remedy for your own personal use, but did you know that you can also use it with your companion animals? We can attest to its effectiveness from our own experience, but we wanted to give you some more information on Flower Essence Therapy.
These were developed in the 1900s by Dr. Bach, a physician in England. Dr. Bach believed that healing should be gentle, painless and non-invasive. The 38 flower preparations have harmonious effects with other approaches of treatment, conventional and holistic. These Preparations are dilute infusions of flowers and tree buds. This type of therapy and its effects are mild, so overuse does not have a compounding result. They act primarily on the mental state, improving physiological conditions which support physical improvements.
These Flower remedies are also effective in treating some conditions that develop shortly after a traumatic or upsetting experience. Flower essence therapy expands upon the belief that our four legged friends are beings with souls. Therefore, the degree of support in the immediate environment of the dog or cat has a marked value on the level of efficacy.
Showing / Traveling Dogs and Cats
Flower Essences are extremely useful in Animals, possibly due to an anti-filtering capacity. In some sense, humans detract from the experience, with our own knowledge and agendas. Animals do not have this filter. With Dogs and Cats on the road for showing purposes, or travel with their two-legged companions on road trips and moves, this therapy has proven beneficial. These circumstances can prove stressful, unaccommodating, and deviate from the animal’s routine.
Specifically, the Five Flower Formula of Rescue Remedy is calming to any person or animal. This is recommended by Natural Healer and Herbal Educator, Christina Blume in Colorado. She suggests it be on hand and used during any emergency, trauma, or stressful situation, i.e. trips to the vet, animals over heating, car accident, new pet, etc. We should also mention that Vitamin C and B complex are important to supplement during this time, to aid the dog or cat in dealing with the stress.
