Gentle, safe, and effective support for all species.
Flower essences offer a gentle and holistic way to support the emotional wellbeing of animals. Whether it’s an anxious dog, a clingy cat, or a horse struggling with past trauma, flower essences can provide calm and balance without side effects or interactions.
Safe and Non-Invasive
One of the most appealing aspects of flower essences is their exceptional safety profile. They can be used for all species of all ages, including dogs, cats, horses, birds, rabbits, and even reptiles with no risk of overdose or adverse reactions. They are also safe to use alongside other treatments, whether conventional medication or natural therapies.
How Effective Are They?
Although subtle in action, flower essences can be surprisingly effective. Animals, being highly intuitive and sensitive to energy, often respond quickly. Results may vary based on the individual animal and situation, but many pet carers have seen noticeable improvements in behaviour, confidence, and stress levels.
Common Uses and Examples
- Rescue Remedy (Bach): This popular blend is ideal for stressful events, such as vet visits, thunderstorms, travel, or adoption. It can help animals feel grounded and calm in the face of sudden change.
- Mimulus (Bach): Useful for animals with specific fears, such as loud noises or strangers.
- Dog Rose of the Wild Forces (Aust Bush): Helps pets that become overwhelmed or out of control, such as highly reactive dogs or panicked horses.
- Red Chestnut (Bach): Beneficial for animals that are overly bonded to their humans that may become distressed when left alone.
How to Use
Flower Essences can be added to drinking water or food, sprayed into the air, or applied to the skin (especially inner ears or paw pads). A few drops several times a day is usually enough. Because they work on an energetic level, consistency is key. Gentle, regular doses over time often bring the best results.
Flower essences often work more effectively when combined into a blend of 4 to 7 remedies rather than using individual essences.
