The connection between flower essences and human beings has been adequately documented. There are many studies that touch on the favourable effects Bach Flower Remedy has on particular ailments and emotional conditions. However, a new development in the word of flower essences is its capability to have an impact on animals too. Here are a few common observations when pets were administered Bach flower remedy:

Flower essences were sampled on some pets that received complaints for being very unruly, always running all over the place and being loud. The usual way to counter negative behavior like this was to prescribe the animals drugs like Prozac and Elavil. However, pet owners reported that they were not very happy with the behavioral changes in their animals. True, the animals did seem calmer, but they also seemed daze, and not like themselves at all. Another disadvantage to this was the reverting back to the unruly behavior as soon as the drug wore off. However, when flower essences were administered on some pets, many were pleased to report that their animals showed signs of calming down and appeared more behaved, while still retaining their personality.

Another way that the flower essences came to use was in many pet shelters. When animals come in, whether they have been found on the streets or rescued from abusive homes, they first appear to be very frightened and nervous. It can be quite a challenge finding ways to calm the animals down but vets have also observed that when they tried out flower essences mixed in with their water, it had a really soothing and calming effect on them.

There is also a connection between flower essences and the occurrence of seizures in pets. If an animals is prone to seizures, his or her owner can put a few drops for the calming essences in an animals tongue. This has been found to have a good effect on seizures, stopping them and calming down the animal immediately.

Since animals experience moods and emotion like we do, it should be of no surprise why they are also affected by flower essences and the Bach flower remedy. If you have a pet at home, and have these problems, perhaps you may try giving them some essences too!
