Mental Stress is very common in today’s fast-paced world. This can lead to high blood pressure, diabetes and heart disease. Peace of mind is deteriorating day by day. Due to the competitive environment, various types of negative defects manifest in human beings. Murders, fighting, brutality are on the rise. In such a turbulent world the “Bach Flower Remedies” invented by Dr Bach are a boon.
The human mind is infinite like an ocean. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), being physically, mentally and socially fit means ‘complete health’ and not just the absence of disease or weakness. Experience has shown that even in this, if the balance of the mind is not right, then disorder arises at the physical level.
It is very important to have a healthy mind to lead a good life. To keep the mind healthy, it is important to reward love, compassion, peace, goodness, honesty, forgiveness by discarding destructive emotions like anger, greed, hatred, lust, jealousy, doubt.
Bach Flower Remedies - Best for Mental Health
An unhealthy mind can cause disorders such as anxiety, insomnia, headache, diabetes, high blood pressure. In short, mental stress upsets the balance and results in illness. In the nineteenth century, Dr Bach studied this subject deeply and discovered “Bach Flower Remedies”.
Today’s world is fast-paced and everyone has to adjust to it. Because, if this pace is not maintained, the pace of life will deteriorate and become unbalanced.
Today everyone is running after some or another matter. Sometimes behind wealth, sometimes behind prestige, sometimes behind success, sometimes behind fame! In today’s world, everyone is physically tired, in the same way, mentally tired, and this fatigue makes him sick. 90% of the world’s diseases today are caused by mental illness. This is called a “psychosomatic disorder”. Along with the physical symptoms of the patient, the symptoms of the mind should also be taken into account for the first time in 1930 by Dr Edward Bach.
Although Dr Edward Bach was a highly educated doctor his inclination was more towards nature. While treating patients, he began to realize that the physical symptoms were getting worse due to ‘mental’ restlessness. This made him realize that ‘the person in disease should be treated more than the disease’.
The patient’s attitude, mental state, lifestyle, way of thinking should all be kept in mind while prescribing the medicine. We have lost our balance with nature and if we want to recover it, we have to find its solution in nature itself. Inspired by this idea, Dr Edward Bach travelled to the valleys of Wales studying plants, flowers and fruits, and after about six years, he solved the riddle of nature.
Dr Edward Bach found thirty-eight types of flowers which have healing properties.
