Bach Flower Remedies for Sleep Disorders

Know your type and choose your remedy accordingly for a successful healing with Bach Flower remedies

  Dr Edward Bach , physician and  homeopath, gave up a lucrative Harley Street practice back in the 1930s ,to devote the remainder of his life to researching the Bach Flower remedies. He approached disease from an holistic viewpoint, for he believed it was more important to treat the entire patient, not just the disease. Mental symptoms, such as fear, anxiety, restlessness etcetra, gave a far more accurate picture of the remedy to be used, rather than  the particular disease the patient had.

The disease process begins in the etheric layer of the individual, long before there is a physical expression of the disease. Treating the disease is not treating its root cause, the mindset of the individual determines their state of health, so treating fear and anxiety is far more likely to bring the patient into a state of equilibrium, than palliating a manifesting symptom by taking a sleeping pill.

Agrimony  for the restless insomniac:

The agrimony type appears cheerful, easy-going, full of good humor and joie de vivre, a great companion, one who loves peace and is easily distressed by arguments. Unfortunately the jovial facade covers a severely tormented person who goes to great lengths to hide their true feelings, and much energy is expended in doing so. They are most unwilling to inflict their problems on others, and will joke and make light of their worries. At night instead of sleeping their minds become occupied with anxiety and worry, their daytime facade of cheerfulness has been replaced by turbulent thoughts , and they are unable to achieve much needed quality sleep.
