Fytoterapy, a plant medicine is focusing itself on using effective plant substances for their following application by drug making or as a direct distribution to the patient for curing.
Patients are nowadays demanding a combination of classical and natural cure, especially after a number of evidences, which found that an extensive use of synthetic drugs can cause serious negative consequences.
On the contrary, when using natural cure of Bach flower therapy, no negative influences or harmfulness were proven, even with incorrect dosage. Flower therapy of an English doctor Edward Bach can be used for animals or humans and consists of regenerating of balance of emotional states, there fore even abnormal behavior. Bach created a system of 38 leaves, which he thoroughly examined to discover their healing effects. The only mixture which was prepared by doctor Bach in person is known as a Crisis essence. Bach believed that the actual patient and the cause of disease should be cured rather, than only the disease consequences.
During his life, Edward Bach has spread his findings further on to his colleagues on various lectures a congresses and also to a general public by the books, which he wrote. Thanks to the cooperation of Edward Bach and a homeopathic company called Nelsons, the Bach essences could be spread across the world. This tradition has persisted up to today times with every application of dr. Bach approaches and instructions.
The effect of flower essences is unique in way that makes it to possible to experience particular feelings without suffering from panic or shock, which usually occurs when using common tranquilizing mediums or anti-depressive drugs, that only suppress the perception without the problem itself being necessarily solved.
The outcome of strong emotional bindings between owner and its animal can be often described as a transition of our moods, stress, etc. onto our animal. Emotional tension can be a root cause of health problems with behavioral or nerve symptoms. The use of Bach flower therapy for animals can therefore be beneficial, because it regenerates balance and harmony of true animal temperament and cures diseases, which have originated due to living with human.
Using Flower Essence is still expanding, especially among holistic and homeopathic veterinarians and other experts, including ethologists. Unfortunately, unlike homeopathic products, in which have been done extensive tests with the treatment of animals, with Flower Essence there was only a few, if any at all. These output studies mostly work with the placebo effect and testing in human subjects did not bring general results. Recent several studies shows that at least on an emotional level, Bach flower therapy can be further studied and developed. In the near future Phytopharmacy made it its mission to explore and validate the traditional healing of herbs. Perhaps the same thing will happen with the Bach flower therapy.
Using essence is wide, in critical situations it is advisable to use the essence before veterinary treatment and as a supplement of veterinary treatment. Essence can be used directly in the mouth, which is the most common potential gain of Flower Essence by animal or also in water, food, baths and as a spray. On a properly chosen essence animals react immediately, however the response is very individual. Therefore it is also necessary to choose individual flower essences for a particular individual with a specific problem. Edward Bach divided his 38 blossoms into 7 groups, where each of them represents one of the main negative attitude. A description of which essence corresponds with which therapeutic effect and therefore treatment of problem behavior, it is necessary and we can say that even the use of Bach flower therapy with dogs is crucial.
To approach this issue, this work uses a survey, which was focused on finding the awareness of Bach Flower Therapy dog owners and its possible uses. The most common problem behavior or health problem was examined and solved with Bach flower therapy, as well as adherence to the recommended dosage.
