The Story of the Origins of Flower Essences
Dr Edward Bach studied medicine at the University College Hospital, London, and was a House Surgeon there. He worked in general practice, having a set of consulting rooms in Harley Street, and as a bacteriologist and later a pathologist he worked on vaccines and a set of homoeopathic nosodes still known as the seven Bach nosodes.
Despite the success of his work with orthodox medicine he felt dissatisfied with the way doctors were expected to concentrate on diseases and ignore the people who were suffering them. He was inspired by his work with homoeopathy but wanted to find remedies that would be purer and less reliant on the products of disease. So in 1930 he gave up his lucrative Harley Street practice and left London, determined to devote the rest of his life to the new system of medicine that he was sure could be found in nature.
Just as he had abandoned his old home, office and work, so now he abandoned the scientific methods he had used up until now. Instead he chose to rely on his natural gifts as a healer, and use his intuition to guide him. One by one he found the remedies he wanted, each aimed at a particular mental state or emotion. His life followed a seasonal pattern: the spring and summer spent looking for and preparing the remedies, the winter spent giving help and advice to all who came looking for them. He found that when he treated the personalities and feelings of his patients their unhappiness and physical distress would be alleviated as the natural healing potential in their bodies was unblocked and allowed to work once more.
In 1934 Dr Bach moved to Mount Vernon in Oxfordshire. In the lanes and fields round about he found the remaining remedies that he needed to complete the series. He would suffer the emotional state that he needed to cure and then try various plants and flowers until he found the one single plant that could help him. In this way, through great personal suffering and sacrifice, he completed his life's work.
Dr Bach passed away peacefully on the evening of November 27th, 1936. He was only 50 years old, but he had left behind him several lifetime's experience and effort, and a system of medicine that is now used all over the world.

Australian Bush Flower Essences
Flower Remedies are not new. The Australian Aboriginals have always used flowers to heal the emotions, as did the Ancient Egyptians. There has also been a very long tradition of use of Flower Essences in India, Asia and South America and they were also very popular in Europe in the Middle Ages. Hildegard von Bingen (12th century) and Paracelsus (15th century) both wrote about how they collected dew from flowering plants to treat health imbalances.
This healing method was rediscovered by Dr. Edward Bach sixty years ago through the use of English flowering plants. Today our society and its needs are totally different to that of sixty years ago. There has been a great need for remedies that would help people deal with the issues of the 21st century - sexuality, communication skills and spirituality to name but a few. The answer to this need has come from the Australian plants, developed and researched by Naturopath, Ian White a fifth generation Australian herbalistFlower Remedies are not new.

Jackson 'had cocktail of drugs in system'

Preliminary toxicology reports on Michael Jackson's body show the singer took a cocktail of drugs strong enough to kill a normal person instantly.
Lethal levels of the powerful painkiller Demerol and heroin substitute methadone were found in Jackson's blood, UK's The Sun newspaper reports.
Jackson took large quantities of the drugs for so long that his body became tolerant to huge doses — until he collapsed of a cardiac arrest last Friday Australian time.
“Michael Jackson was a walking drug store when he died, he never stood a chance,” the newspaper quoted a source close to the case as saying.
In addition to the Demorol and methadone, Jackson was found to have therapeutic levels of Fentanyl — a drug 100 times more potent than morphine — Valium, a sleeping drug called Ambien and the painkiller Vicodin in his system.
He was also taking high doses of the anti-depressant drug Zanax, the hospital anaesthetic Propofol and post-surgery painkiller Dilaudid.
Meanwhile celebrity gossip website TMZ, which broke the news of Jackson's death, has published a litany of evidence detailing the star's drug use.
The website quoted law enforcement officials, who said Jackson had needle marks all over his body, including around his neck.
Some of the needle marks were fresh, while others were many days old, the website said.
It also quoted a police report from 2004 in which Jackson's former bodyguard, Chris Carter, said the singer was addicted to Xanax and was taking more than 10 pills a night.
Carter also reportedly told police that Jackson had been obtaining drugs from a variety of doctors using aliases, including the names of his own employees.
