Research has shown that emotions deeply affect our well-being.

They not only impact the immune system, but also contribute to many diseases. Almost every disease has a negative emotion associated with it. For example, emotions like hatred, jealousy, and resentment are linked to diseases like cancer and diabetes, while skin conditions are linked to a lack of self-esteem. Anytime there is a lifestyle change, there is emotional stress that weakens the immune system, paving the way for disease development.

This is where Bach's flowers come in handy. They not only address the emotional issue, but also the emotional cause of the disease. While some treatments may alleviate symptoms, Bach flowers target their underlying source. This does not mean that the physical ailment should not be treated, but if the emotional issue is not resolved over time, the physical issue will resurface.

Understanding that diseases have their origin in emotions allows us to examine ourselves until we identify the feelings that triggered the illness. For instance, if we catch the flu, we can reflect on the past emotions and experiences that led us to this illness. It could be a significant temporary emotional strain due to family, school, or work issues, strong enough to weaken us sufficiently for the physical ailment to appear. Once we become aware of it, it is easier and faster to overcome the disease.

Therefore, we can view illnesses not as punishments or mistakes, but as opportunities to grow ourselves emotionally. The key is to consistently self-examine, to know ourselves better, overcome our limitations, and promote personal development. However, if we don't self-reflect, the disease appears as if our inner self were telling us: "Hey, you need to pay attention!”

Identifying and overcoming those emotions is not always easy. This is where Bach flowers can be helpful, providing the body with an extra boost to overcome our fears, resentments, and wounds, among others. Regular use of Bach flowers as a preventative measure and to monitor emotional well-being can provide the following benefits:
