There are aides such as Bach Flower Remedies that bridge the physical with the spiritual, so-to-speak, and can help a person through a difficult situation. For example, Star of Bethlehem helps with trauma and shock.  White Chestnut helps with deep despair.  Essences are non-invasive and deliver amazing results! They are considered a form of "Vibrational" healing, which simply means they work on the more subtle bodies (such as the emotional body) which, in turn, affect the physical.  

An essence is made from water that the leaves and/or flower parts have been soaked in so they capture the "essence" of that flower or plant.  People who have used these remedies successfully emphasize that consistency and continuity are extremely important.  Most directions say to mix 2 drops with a small glass of water 4 times a day, or put 2 drops directly on your tongue.  The results are subtle and increase with use over time.    

Some of our favorite brands of essences are the original Bach Flower Remedies, Green Hope Farm Essences, which we carry, and the essences from Perelandra Center for Nature Research in Virginia. Green Hope Farms uses Red Shiso as an alternative to alcohol for a preservative and Perelandra offers their essences preserved in brandy or vinegar. There are remedies for animals and children and for every possible condition you can conceive of.  (In other words, if it exists, there's probaby and essence for it!)

One of my favorites is the Rescue Remedy gum, as it provides a subtle quick fix for stressful situations.
