Using flower remedies to restore harmony of mind
 
Chandigarh,
        October 7 A teacher by profession, Ms Bhatia,
        says that flower remedies are the most “perfect system” of treatment
        of ailments originating from a negative state of the mind, that is
        anger, anxiety, aggression. The root-cause of several serious ailments
        such as blood pressure, heart problems, abrupt behaviour, chronic
        headaches, cramps, and utter dejection is a negative state of mind.
        Shock, grief, pain, loss and tension lead to anger, anxiety, depression
        etc and devastates even the most strong-willed and mentally tough
        persons, says Ms Bhatia. Invented by Dr Edward Bach, who was an
        allopathic doctor in the UK, flower remedies are now scientifically used
        to cure people. These restore the harmony of the mind and built up the
        natural defences in one’s body. Suffering from an incurable chronic
        disease, Dr Bach, in course of finding treatment of his own ailment, invented
        “miracle remedies”. He prepared mother tinctures
        from flowers to cure various ailments, besides setting up a training
        centre “Mount Vermon” at Oxfordshire in the UK. Ms Bhatia has spent
        some time in UK to learn the use of these remedies. “I have seen
        miracles happening”, asserts Ms Bhatia. These remedies are not only
        effective in case of human beings but also animals, she claims. A
        ferocious dog can be sobered in a few days by using this remedy. These
        have a wonderful effect on mentally retarded kids as far as improving
        their mental faculties is concerned. Tinctures help in the regeneration
        of mental faculties and improving spastic movements, and speech etc
        “With the consent of their parents, we have been using flower remedies
        to cure mentally retarded kids in St Stephen’s School, where I
        teach”, says Ms Bhatia. The results are amazing. “The Principal, Mr
        H. Carver, has set up a separate wing in the school to provide free of
        cost care to mentally retarded kids”, she adds. Besides it, there are
        about 20 other mentally retarded kids from places like Sangrur, Patiala,
        Samrala etc under her treatment. Women, right from puberty, fertility,
        infertility, pregnancy, benefit tremendously from the remedies, she
        adds. Ms Bhatia says there are 38 flower remedies, which are safe,
        simple, harmless and can cure all the negative states of mind.
        Obviously, she has to study patient, the total personality, background
        and problems and ailment by having intensive interaction with him or her
        to start treatment. Ms Bhatia says an over-attached or possessive
        mother’s fear to lose son to her daughter-in-law can play havoc with
        her mind leading to problems like asthma. Often worry wrecks human
        beings. It weakens one’s defence system to fight problems. Flower
        remedies cure worry effectively. Ms Bhatia charges nothing from the
        patients. However, patients have to spend money to procure tinctures
        from the U.K. |
