Bach Flowers For Animals: Spotlight On Honeysuckle

I am a certified Bach Flower Therapist and I have been using the Bach Flowers with my animal clients, as well as teaching classes about them for the last 8 years and I love them!

In my recent posts Spotlight on Rescue Remedy, and Spotlight on Larch I talked about what each Bach flowers do and why animals are so receptive to them.

What are Bach Flowers?

They are a series of 38 essences made up of a variety of plants and trees.Dr. Edward Bach called them the “Happy fellows of the plant world” and started working with them in 1931. He discovered that each of the 38 Essences from well known and common trees, flowers and even pure water from springs. Could alleviate and help to lift the negative blockages which he believed shows themselves in negative emotions, and behavior (he called then potentials) which come about from one living one’s daily life. This could included traumatic situations that might have happened in our pasts that, because the blockages may still be there are showing themselves today is negative emotions and behaviors. Essential the the way it works is like this Bach believed that “Like vibrations cures, like emotions”. Energy is in every single thing on the earth, and we are all energy vibrating a different levels and speeds. The essences are also vibrating at the same speed as the the blockages that are able to heal. When taken the essence opens up the blockage(s) so that the being is then able to hear their voice of their higher self (also called soul, Source, Universe God) bringing BACK the feeling of well-being and thus positive emotions with it.

The Spotlight on Honeysuckle…

Honeysuckle is the remedy that Dr. Edward Bach called “The Past Flower”. He discovered that this particular flower deals with the souls ability to adapt.

I often give this Bach Flower to animals who are having problems adjusting to a new routine in their lives. Honeysuckle is also great for helping animals make the adjustment to any new situations.

Please remember! Bach Flowers are a wonderful tools however,
ALWAYS consult your Veterinarian in any cases of emergency even if you just suspect an emergency!

What are some common Honeysuckle uses?

•Adopting a new animal friend, and you want to help them adapt to the new surroundings quicker and easier.

•Your animal friend seems “Homesick” for their previous human companion

(ex: howling or whining).

•Your animal friend does a great deal of moaning in their sleep and does not seem unable to sleep restfully.

•They keep doing old patterns of behavior that are not longer warranted anymore. (Cringing, flinching, pacing, running away)

•There is a history of their coming from an abusive past, and they seem bothered or even traumatized by it.

•Your animal friend reacts suddenly and strongly to a certain type of person(s)
(small children, men or women with high voices scare them)

•Before any MAJOR change, such as:
Moving into a new home, a child leaving for college that your animal is very close to, boarding your animal and they may become “Homesick” (TIP: leave the bottle with the kennel personnel so they can give it to your animal while you are gone), Introducing a new animal into the household.
You get the picture

•Their previous owner(s) moved away or passed away.

•The animal seems to have a hard time adjusting to new routines (like a new form of riding, or going to a different dog run that they had been going to for years).

•Your new animal friend seems to be having problems adjusting to their new home or boarding situations (in cases of horses).

There are to name only a few.

Tip: Consulting your Animal Communicator to verify that these are the problems is also a good idea!

How do I give Bach Flowers to my animal friend(s)?

Normally putting the drops in the animals water works very well, and if this is a multiple animal household don’t worry, the Bach Flower will not do anything to the other animals, unless they need it.  For small animals (cats, dogs) I give 2-3 drops in their water and put new drops in whenever I change the water. For bigger animals (Horses, Cows, Llamas, etc) anywhere from 5-8 drops on a slice of bread or a few apple slices should do the trick.

Remember to give the Bach Flowers to your animal only when they are showing signs of the negative behavior or emotions.

If you do not notice even the SLIGHTEST of changes after a 24-72 hour period then it might mean your friend will need to try another Bach Flower.
