We all have heard of the benefits and the bodys need for us to take nutritional supplements. Whether because our body is run down and unwell, or just to give ourselves the best chance of living a healthy life.

So what is needed? How much? Which supplements do we should need to be taking? On a daily basis advertisements on television, in magazine and on radio are informing us that we need to take supplements. Which brands are good and which brands aren't?

Lyle MacWilliam, BSc, MSc, FP through consultation with seven published Nutritional authorities, has compiled a non bias evaluation of over 100 Nutritional Supplements available in Australia and New Zealand . This was achieved by an analytical model being created to evaluate the effectiveness of different products. This model is considered the 'Blended Standard'. Through his research USANA Health Sciences 'Essentials', was found to be the number one product.

"Vibrational medicine seeks to heal the physical body by integrating and balancing the higher energetic systems which create the physical/cellular patterns of manifestation." Richard Gerber – Vibrational Medicine

Flower Essences are a form of Vibrational medicine and at Infinitive Health Wellness Centre we incorporate the use of Flower Essences into our treatment plans. Flower Essences are 100% safe and natural and work in conjunction with herbs, homeopathy and medications.  They are safe for everyone , including children, pregnant women, pets, elderly and even plants.

Flower Essences 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 a variety of mental and emotional symptoms believed to be the root cause of much disease or ill health in the body.

The most well known flower remedy is the Rescue Remedy (Bach Flower Essences) combination, which contains an equal amount each of Rock rose, Impatiens, Clematis, Star of Bethlehem and Cherry Plum remedies. The product is aimed at treating stress, anxiety, and panic attacks, especially in emergencies.

Flower Essences are made using two methods, the sun method and the boiling method. The sun method is the most commonly used. The processes are simple but wonderfully effective. The sun method involves floating flower heads in a clear glass bowl filled with natural spring water. This is left in bright sunlight for three hours, then the flower heads are removed and the energised water is mixed half and half with brandy.

The boiling method involves putting flowering twigs into a pan of spring water and boiling them for half an hour. The pan is then left to cool, the plant matter removed, and again the water is mixed half and half with brandy. In both cases the resulting mix is known as mother tincture. This is diluted at the rate of two drops per 30mls of brandy to make the stock bottles sold in the shops.

The original Bach Flower Essences is a system of 38 Flower Essences and there are a total of 69 essences in the Australian Bush range, and each relates to a different emotional imbalance.

At Infinitive Health Wellness Centre both the Australian Bush Flower Essences (founded by Ian White ND) and Bach Flower Essences (founded by Dr. Edward Bach) are used. Each prescription is as individual as each patient and especially designed to gently restore the balance between mind and body by casting out negative emotions, such as, fear, worry, hatred and indecision which interfere with the equilibrium of the being as a whole.
