Naturopathy

Flower essences have been used since the 1930’s when Edward Bach first explored and established another way to bring balance to the ‘emotional’ and therefore physical body. Flower essences are liquid plant preparations made from the flower blossoms of 38 different plants. The energy of the flower is imprinted into the water energetically and then preserved in brandy. Flower essences are used to help support the emotional and behavioural responses to situations. The subtleness of these remedies work very well for animals, but are also very effective in children and adults of all ages.

Kim has been a qualified, registered Naturopath & Medical Herbalist since 2005 and is trained in Bach Flower essences. In her day job, she works with humans, and when she’s not doing that she’s living and loving her fur kids. A lifelong animal lover and enthusiast Kim has grown up with a wide range of rescued animals including possums, a muscovy duck, a magpie, and her fair share of dogs and cats. Kim has also been fostering incapacitated cats and kittens to be ready for adoption, for over 5 years.

Kim has been formulating Bach Flower essences for many years and uses them to support animals during times of injury and recovery, socialising and handling, illness, trauma, stress and so much more.

Kim uses flower essences because she’s seen them work time and time again, with ease, for humans and animals, no matter their age.

If the Essence formula’s here don’t match your pet’s situation you can have a consultation with Kim. The range of 38 flower essences makes it possible to mix and match them to suit any situation. Pets can be just as emotionally complex as we humans and a formula blended to their needs, or a specific situation can be done.

Kim also offers consultations for anyone else that requires the support of Flower Essences. You can read more about her hear and get in touch. www.boldcoachingandnaturopathy.com

Flower essences are very safe. There is no risk of overdosing, co-dependency, or interaction with any medication or nutritional supplement in animals or humans.

When first made the essence is preserved in alcohol (Brandy). This becomes the stock bottle, from which drops are taken and added to a formula bottle containing filtered water and a small amount of apple cider vinegar or alcohol. We use apple cider vinegar to keep the alcohol content to an absolute minimum. You can taste the essence yourself to see. There is very little alcohol (less than1%) in the final formula however, for those that prefer their pet to avoid alcohol altogether, doses can be dispensed into boiled filtered water and left to cool so the alcohol evaporates off, and once cooled can be given. This method would be recommended for very small, and or weak animals.

Our remedies have been formulated with dogs in mind, however, they may also crossover to owners and cats as well, if the situation fits.

Yes, that is possible and sometimes when a pet is stressed, so to are the owners and other family members. e.g. ‘Alone’ may be useful when moving house and being forced to leave your cat and dog alone inside to acclimate for a week or 2 while you go to work. In this case, it may be useful for a worried owner to take as well.

Where you have a pet that is severely debilitated it is always recommended you seek advice from a vet in the first instance.
