Answer 1

Good for relaxation more than anything. I think often a placebo effect (therefore not powerful). My mum in law has studied some aromatherapy and is very cautious about the 'power' of these oils etc such as in pregnancy when certain oils are toxic and can bring on labor. Its kinda like with teas and things. Rose tea may help your skin but it takes a lot more than one cup to cure you. Sometimes you just need medication Eg. Roacitain for Acne is much more powerful that rose tea!! That said, I think they serve their purpose. I had a couple of drops of flower essence on my tongue for sleeplessness once and I went to sleep but I think it was just coz I actually got up and then determined that I was over thinking about stuff and it relaxed me to know that my friends mum cared enough to get the remedy for me. I felt safe and loved in her home...

Spa therapies with herbal products are the wonderful experience to rejuvenate and restore the equilibrium of the body, mind and soul.

  Our fears, anxieties, likes and dislikes have a direct relation with the diseases that we suffer from. What flower essences do is they create a balance between mind and emotions by promoting energy to get back to health.  Its true flowers have an immediate impact upon our stressed mind and depressing state. It not only brings happiness but also provides a long-term positive effect!

Red roses known energy enhancer, sunflower makes us optimistic, lilacs and green zinnias helps in removing stress and anxiety, indigo color of the Iris flower known for building up positive effect, increases confidence level and tranquility. The list will be long as we have so many variations of flowers. Go for your favorite flower therapy ones and yes what magic it creates to your life... I love red roses its all time hot and sensuous!!!

They're an effective, gentle way to treat kids, pets and desperate states. Bach Flower remedies work on the mind, and, I think, the soul.  I occasionally used one for my overtired-wired toddler; a drop in a glass of water provided immediate calm.  I also once used Rescue Remedy when a family member was suicidal, then followed through with homeopathy. You can be less precise with flower remedies. I worked with them before finding out about homeopathy (which is even better, comprehensively). What I like about flower remedies is the poetic aspect; they're quite beautiful.
