Bach Flower Essences in Acupressure
There is a natural therapeutic relationship between Chinese Medicine and Flower Essence Therapy. Both share the philosophy that true health is a state of dynamic balance, where body, mind, and emotions are in harmony.
Dr. Edward Bach, a physician from England, developed 38 flower remedies in the 1930s, each linked to a distinct emotional state such as fear, worry, grief, or despair. He believed unresolved emotions create inner conflict at the soul level. Bach Flower Remedies address these root states, restoring balance and helping individuals realign with purpose, harmony, and their highest potential.
Chinese Medicine also recognizes that many health imbalances have a core emotional component. When the energy of an emotion disrupts the smooth flow of qi, symptoms can arise throughout the body and mind. From this perspective, emotional stress is often an important underlying factor in overall health and well-being.
Together, acupressure and flower essences complement one another beautifully: acupressure restores balance by regulating the flow of vital energy (qi), while flower essences gently transform longstanding emotional patterns into their more balanced expressions. Used in combination, they support emotional ease, smoother qi flow, and whole-person well-being.
"Flower essences are a form of plant Qi infused in water and are excellent for regulating Qi in the body and mind...They are sort of like acupuncture in a bottle because they promote deep shifts in a gentle way, rather than masking symptoms."
- Loyola Colebeck
