Bach Flower Remedies & Bioresonance

We often think about wellbeing in physical terms — our energy, sleep, diet and how our bodies are functioning.

But our emotional lives are just as much a part of our everyday experience. Worry, uncertainty, frustration, grief or simply feeling overwhelmed can influence how we experience the world around us.

Bach flower remedies offer a gentle, traditional approach to exploring these emotional states.

And with BICOM bioresonance, we can bring the information associated with these remedies into every therapy session, considering emotional wellbeing alongside the physical aspects of how someone is feeling.

What are Bach flower remedies?

Bach flower remedies were developed in the 1930s by British physician Dr Edward Bach, who believed that emotional balance was an important part of overall wellbeing.

He identified 38 individual remedies, each traditionally associated with a particular emotional state or pattern of behaviour.

Some relate to fear or uncertainty, others to loneliness, discouragement, exhaustion or feeling overwhelmed.

For example, Mimulus is associated with fears we can identify, White Chestnut with unwanted recurring thoughts, and Elm with feeling overwhelmed by responsibilities.

Traditionally, Bach flower remedies are prepared from flowers, trees and plants, with Rock Water being the exception. They are usually taken as highly diluted liquid preparations, selected according to the person’s emotional circumstances.

The central idea is that emotional wellbeing is individual. Two people may be experiencing similar circumstances but responding to them in very different ways.

Within Dr Bach’s philosophy, every remedy is associated with both a negative emotional state and its corresponding positive quality. For example, Mimulus is associated with moving from fear towards courage, Larch from self-doubt towards confidence, and Impatiens from frustration towards patience. The intention is not simply to remove an unwanted feeling, but to encourage a more balanced emotional response.

How do we use Bach flower remedies with BICOM bioresonance?

This is where the traditional Bach flower system and BICOM technology come together.

During every BICOM session, we include testing for Bach flower remedies.

Using the BICOM device, we explore the body’s bioenergetic responses to the stored Bach flower frequency information to identify which remedies are indicated for the individual’s emotional state at that time.

This means we don’t simply select a remedy because someone describes feeling worried, tired or overwhelmed. The selection is guided by the responses observed during testing.

Once the relevant Bach flower frequencies have been identified, they can be delivered through the BICOM Optima as part of the individual’s therapy programme.

Rather than requiring someone to take traditional Bach flower drops, we work with the stored frequency information directly through the device.

Why is this part of every session?

Our emotional experiences aren’t always obvious, even to ourselves.

Sometimes we know exactly what’s troubling us. At other times, we may simply feel unsettled, unusually sensitive, frustrated or overwhelmed without being able to explain why.

By including Bach flower testing in every session, we make emotional wellbeing a regular part of our bioresonance approach rather than something considered only when someone raises a particular concern.

The testing is intended to guide our choice of remedy information within the BICOM approach. It isn’t a medical or psychological assessment of someone’s emotional condition.

For us, it’s another way of looking at the individual as a whole.

Bringing emotional wellbeing into the wider picture

Bach flower remedies are one of the ways we incorporate emotional wellbeing into our BICOM bioresonance sessions.

You don’t need to arrive knowing which remedies might be relevant, or even have a particular emotional concern in mind.

The Bach flower testing is already part of every session.

It’s one element of our wider, individual approach — taking time to explore more than just the physical symptoms that may have brought you to us.

Bioresonance is a complementary approach and is not a substitute for appropriate medical or mental health care.
