I've been using various flower essences for many years. Flower essences are a category within homeopathy which works on the bodies ability to heal itself and affect mood, emotions, and behavior. "Bach Flower Essences" can be found at most health food stores. They are a bit pricey (around $15-16/ea), but have worked well for me for different issues. They can work to modify certain negative personal characteristics, change mood, attitude, etc. Some work slowly over time, especially when changing character changes. Allow at least 2 weeks before expecting any changes. However, with some I notice immediate relief, like with stress reducers and sleep inducers.
Pegasus Products, is a great producer of a myriad of flower essences, elixirs and blends. I've used some of their flower essences, but I'm not sure about all their elixirs.
The following essences really work well for me:
White Chestnut: Stops the constant mind chatter that keeps me from falling asleep. This is fairly immediate.
Rescue Sleep: A blend of Bach Flower Essences that helps with mild sleeplessness, or difficulty in falling asleep.
Rescue Remedy: a blend of several different essences which helps with stress, anxiety, anger, as it calms the nerves and emotions. Works fairly quickly to calm me down.
Impatiens: really does work when I am overly impatient and it is a problem with dealing with other people. Something that needs to be taken regularly.
Bleeding Heart: mending a broken heart and letting go of relationships or people. This takes more time. I went through the whole bottle, but it helped.
For Pets:
There is a company in Boulder, CO Spiritessence that has developed flower essences for animals. I purchase some for my cats that were not getting along. It did seem to help. But, I had to remember to put it on them daily. Something I have trouble doing :( However, they do seem to be getting along pretty good most of the time now. So, I do think the essences helped.
