Reversing Lifestyle Diseases With Bach Flower Therapy

Reversal of lifestyle diseases is only possible if and when the psychological (mental, emotional and behavioural) causes are healed.

Data from the health ministry reported in Feb 2021 shows that nearly half the people who have died of Covid in India had previously existing health conditions, diabetes and hypertension being among the top few. It is reported that the pandemic has not only highlighted the country's dire need for more healthcare workers and better public health infrastructure but also showed how the prevalence rate of lifestyle diseases is a growing cause for concern.

India is considered to be the diabetes capital of the world with 69.9 million cases projected by 2025. The number of cases for diabetes has been doubling in the past 30 years as for heart diseases. These 'lifestyle' diseases are of even more concern as they are spreading at a fast pace amongst the young in both urban and rural settings. Cardiovascular diseases and diabetes are also estimated to have an economic cost for the country - $6.2 trillion by 2030-as they reduce the productivity of patients and add to the growing cost of healthcare.

So, what are we doing about this silently rising pandemic of lifestyle diseases? Most have given in to a lifetime’s dependence on medication, with the strength of dosage increasing in regular intervals. Some are resorting to alternative means like diet, yoga and ayurveda to heal their metabolic imbalance, which is prevalently considered as the prime cause. Those who are resorting to the latter mean seems to be getting benefitted. Temporarily though. Once they stop their diet or fitness regime (which is quite likely given the discipline that is required to be followed) they get back to being obese, diabetic, hypertensive and having dyslipidaemia. There is no permanent cure through meds or other means which merely address the physical body.

Reversal of lifestyle diseases is only possible if and when the psychological (mental, emotional and behavioural) causes are healed. It’s not just healing the negative emotions, thoughts and habits but also the underlying unconscious conditioning, which can be done with certainty through Bach flower therapy.

“Disease of the body itself is nothing but the result of disharmony between soul and mind. It is only a symptom of the cause and, as the same cause will manifest differently, in nearly every individual, seek to remove this cause and the after-results, whatever they may be, will disappear automatically,” says Dr. Edward Bach, discoverer of Bach Flower remedies, used to restore mental, emotional and spiritual well-being.

Welcome to Bach flower therapy – the safest therapy known that uses 38 floral essences – called Bach Flower remedies - to heal all conceivable mental and emotional conditions, without any side effect, addiction, risk of over dosage or adverse interactions with other drugs / medicines. The best thing about Bach flower therapy is ease of administration and usage. Involvement of a professional in the healing process is not necessary as the subtle vibrations of the flowers heal the patient from the root. No restrictions or impositions are required whatsoever. All that the patient needs to do is ingest customized combinations of ready-to-use remedies (easily available online and off-the-shelf) regularly, on time.

Here are some lifestyle ailments and their emotional causes, according to the famous Louise Hay:

 Diabetes - Longing for what might have been. A great need to control. Deep sorrow. No sweetness left.

Hyperlipidaemia - Clogging the channels of joy. Fear of accepting joy.

Hypertension - Long-standing emotional problem not solved.

Obesity - Fear, need for protection. Running away from feelings. Insecurity, self-rejection. Seeking fulfilment.

Using a combinative approach of

i) healing the emotional causes, at the root, with Bach Flower therapy and

(ii) restoring the damaged metabolism of the body through diet consultation and lifestyle coaching is recommended to reverse most lifestyle diseases, ultimately getting patients off medication.

Here are a few caveats, however, that one needs to be aware of, for reversing lifestyle diseases with the help of Bach Flower therapy:

(a) It’s important to choose a client-centric therapist who is capable of diagnosing the root cause and make harmonious combinations of remedy, customized to the patients’ emotional state of being, for healing from the root,

(b) Nothing happens overnight. Both the client and the therapist must commit to undertake and facilitate, respectively, the healing journey, for a sustained period of time, and finally

(c) The client must have full faith in the efficacy of Bach Flower therapy and the remedies used.
