ANIMALS USE FLOWER ESSENCES TOO - by Maddi'

The wonderful thing about Australian Bush Flower Essences is that they work very well with animals too. Calm and Clear is an excellent combination essence to keep in the store cupboard when one's pet is feeling anxious or not themselves. We recently got an email from a client to give some... "feedback on how well ABFE works, I came home from town today only to find some of our chicks attacked by the dog.  They were in a pretty bad way when I found them. I quickly got them into the house under a warm towel and heat pillow and gave them both 6 drops of Emergency, then 2 drops every ½ hour after for the next 4 hours.  They seem to have come back from the brink and seem to be settled.  So I think they will be ok."

Thank you very much for your valued feedback about working with ABFE and animals. Maddi

NIGHT SWEATS AND FEVERS - BY MADDI

Recently I had a call from school that one of my children was fading rapidly. They were weak and tired and barely able to walk.

We got them home and into bed but it took many hours before we knew they had turned the corner and were back on the road to recovery.

They presented with intense feelings of cold and then hot. The blankets were on again, off again. They could barely keep a sip of water down and used very few words.

We were able to use mulla mulla in this case to help alleviate the fire in the body. 

Mulla mulla flower essence was made up in Palm Valley, one of the hottest parts of the country and where some of the oldest plants in Australia are found.

Mulla Mulla is for the personal recovery from the shattering experience of burns from heat or fire. This Essence reduces the negative effects of fire and the sun's rays. It is for those with a fear of fire or flames.

Mulla Mulla flower essence can give positive outcomes:
• reduces the effects of fire and the sun
• feeling comfortable with fire and heat

It is given as a dosage strength from a dropper bottle. The recommended dosage is seven drops under the tongue when required for acute situations, otherwise it would be used twice daily for 2-4 weeks for a more chronic condition or feeling. Maddi'

LONG NIGHTS - by Maddi'

We have a very large spider on our landing that we call 'wolf'. The children are delighted to sneak in and play 'spot the spider' or to and be the first to watch it scramble up the wall out of harm's way.

The flower essence grey spider flower is of a similar size and equally can give a sense of wonder because it is partly 'creepy' looking yet fascinating also.

I have seen some positive results with grey spider flower essence when I give it to people who are not sleeping all that well. Children who have nightmares and also adults who have a disturbed sleep have told me that they are sleeping considerably better even after a single dose. 

Grey spider flower essence is used more for a feeling of terror than fear and can come on suddenly leaving a person with a very disturbed sleep and consequently more difficult tomorrow. I would give different essences for a busy mind or a stressed mind.

Flower essences are best to be taken as a 7 drop liquid dose under the tongue mornng and night for at least two weeks before a reducing the dose to the individual's need. Maddi'

...the MAGIC of roadside HERBS... - by Katrina

Driving along to work the other day it occurred to me just how many HAWTHORN berries are around at the moment in the Southern Highlands...the trees are literally full of fruit. My training as a herbalist was with the wonderful Dorothy Hall for whom HAWTHORN was a favourite - the benefits of this herb for the CARDIOVASCULAR system are many. It is always lovely to remember that many of our most useful herbs are still running wild in our towns - it is almost like they are simply calling out to be used.

Mim Beim has just released a book called "GROW your own MEDICINE" which again reminds us of the useful medicinal benefits of our everyday herbs- another wonderful resource !!
http://www.beamingwithhealth.com.au/books/grow-your-own-medicine

Dorothy Hall taught me and many others about the benefits of blending FLOWER ESSENCES with HERBS to provide a complete medicinal mix for the patient as a whole - treating both the physical and the emotional aspects of a patient's health. FLOWER ESSENCES can beautifully complement the qualities of our favourite HERBS and it is certainly a pleasure to work with both.

Please email me katrina@bushflowerhealing.com if you would like a consultation or further information on potential FLOWER ESSENCE combinations that can work with HAWTHORN for common CARDIOVASCULAR irregularities such as HIGH BLOOD PRESSURE - remembering we as herbalists always treat the individual.

The secret powers of ABUND-essence? - by Katrina

I wondered recently whether ABUND-essence was responsible for the sale of a local house that had been on the market forever - maybe??? Out of pure desperation, the owners started taking the ABUND-essence blend and SOLD the house within weeks.

Over the years I have both heard about and personally experienced the many joys of ABUND-essence. Situations where people who start taking this blend suddenly find jobs, receive random presents, open their hearts more easily to relationships and win unexpected prizes have been reported.  

As for me I continue to enjoy observing these Essences working in their oh-so-mysterious ways...

If you would like to test out some ABUND for yourself please email me katrina@bushflowerhealing.com

BUSH IRIS - by Maddi'

Bush Iris is a delicate beauty. It stands close to the ground held by a strong husk and is about 4cm across. Bush Iris holds the quality of being able to enhance spiritual awareness by clearing blocks in chakras. It also holds a lot of opportunity to clear lymphatics which means that it can be used to help treat allergy or purify the body. I have used it with fringed violet and dagger hakea to get good results for hayfever. This remedy works best if taken consistently for four weeks and then may be needed less regularly. The bush iris essence is available in 25mL dropper bottles and the usual dosage is 7 drops under the tongue twice daily for all ages.

To learn more about using Australian bush flower essences for yourself, your close community or your wider community see our workshops dates.



Bliss at LAKE BAIKAL - by Katrina

I have just been lucky enough to be a participant in Ian White's latest Light Frequency Essence Workshop in Sydney over the weekend. Ian took us on an amazing journey 'around the world' sharing with us his insights and experiences in making up his latest range of vibrational Essences made all over the planet from Antarctica to Greenland, from the Amazon to Madagascar !!!

LAKE BAIKAL is an Essence that was made by Ian in Siberia.

Taking this Essence at the workshop had quite a profound effect on me and again showed me how powerful these Essences can be in transforming our lives.

From the very moment I took these drops, I felt a transformation. My energy raised and I felt joy and happiness. The tiredness of my early start 'magically' disappeared as I was also immediately reminded of the many rich and blissful parts of my life and instantly felt able to float past any obstacle life has to offer - it felt like a drug to me the effect was so potent.

After using vibrational Essences for many years, it was lovely to be reminded in such a setting of this potency and the possibilities within us that such Essences can ignite. Each of us is living a unique journey and different Essences are relevant at different times - my 'Lake Baikal' is now !!!
