BACH FLOWER REMEDIES -
WHY SHOULD ALL OF US KNOW & LEARN DR. BACH FLOWER REMEDIES OF ENGLAND?
"Heuristic" method is a way of learning without a teacher. The student has to find out and learn things by himself. Perhaps, most of you have not heard of this method. HEURISTIC METHOD AND WHY SHOULD WE KNOW ABOUT WHAT IS IT ?
Take any subject - Psychology, Geometry, or Astronomy. The first person who had introduced that as a subject of study found out and formulated it by himself and not by studying under any teacher.
Maths wizard Shakuntala Devi, who had not entered a college or university classroom was given a brand new Benz car (worth Rs. 30 lakhs) free of cost when she challenged the latest computer in Benz car manufacturing company of Germany and did a complicated calculation mentally and gave the answer speedier than the latest computer.She became a wizard in calculations not by studying B.Sc., or M.Sc., (Maths) in any college but is a mere S.S.L.C. or Tenth Standard.
Nor did Mahatma Gandhi study AHIMSA (non-violence) in any college. He became the Father of the Nation not because he was a barrister-at-law. Most people do not know that he is a foreign qualified law graduate! Nor had Oxford studied English literature in any college to compile world famous and Number One Oxford dictionary. He studied up to 9th standard and discontinued his school. Our arts colleges/universities all over the world are not able to bring out a better compiler of dictionary than Oxford. Number one author of World History is H.G.Wells. Alas! He was a science student and he did not study B.A. or M.A. (History) to become No. 1 author of world history.
If you want to end up as a mere breadwinner by earning 5-10 thousand rupees per month, you may mug up notes aspiring to put the title "M.A." etc., after your name. But if you want more servants to get an income proportionate to your expenses and requirements, then heuristic method is there for you.
"What should I now do to find a fine new thing/subject by heuristic method?" Some of you may wonder!
Our answer is, 'For that, you have to free yourself from the undesirable effects of tradition, descent etc.,
Again your question would be : "How can I do that?"
Answer to this question come from Bach Flower Remidies of England.
WHAT ARE BACH FLOWER REMIDIES?
Dr. Edward Bach, M.B.B.S., M.R.C.S., of London, around the year 1930 gave up his lucrative practice in Harley Street to devote his full time to the finding of the Remidies, perfecting the method and ultimately discovered and introduced a system of medicine, comprising of thirty-eight remedies, each one prepared from a particular wild flower, most of which are found in Engish forests alone. He sought for remedies in the plant world which would restore vitality to the sick and ailing, so that the sufferer would be able to overcome his worry, his fear or his depression and in that manner assists in his own healing.
The remedies used in this method of treatment are prepared each one from a particular wild flower in bushes I the English forests. None of them is harmful or habit forming. They are prescribed not directly for the physical complaint but rather according to the sufferer's state of mind will not only hinder the recovery of health and retard convalescence, but it is the primary cause of sickness.
It is well known that a long continued fear or worry will deplete an individual's vitality; it will cause him feel out of sorts, below par or not himself. Under these conditions the body loses its natural resistance to disease. It is in a fit state to become the prey of any infection and any form of illness, whether it is a cold, rheumatism, digestive disturbances or any of the more serious diseases. Therefore, it is the patient himself , not the disease, who needs the treatment. The old dictum "there are no diseases, only sick people!" is an excellent example to confirm this. When mental peace and harmony returns, health and strength will be restored.
These are available in the form of read-to-take tiny sweet pills at a throw away price of Rs. 50 per 10ml pack of 300 tiny pills, two pills given for a dose (chewable) irrespective of age.
HOW CAN WE SAY THAT BACH FLOWER REMEDIES ARE EFFECTIVE IN SHAPING EVERYONE'S PERSONALITY?
We have already said that these flowers are available in English forests alone. The aroma of these flowers carried by the flower dust and spread by winds have been influencing the British people from time immemorial and making them No.1, in all fields. How can we say that the British are No.1 in the World? The B.B.C.(British Broadcasting Corporation) broadcasts news in Tamil, Hindi etc. this does not bring any credit to Indians, because the B.B.C. broadcasts in forty-three languages of the world. But our All India Radio does not go beyond Indian languages, although the total area of Great Britain (including England, Scotland and Ireland) is just one-thirteenth of India.
When former Prime Minister Indira Gandhi was shot dead, Rajiv Gandhi was touring in West Bengal. He learnt the news first from B.B.C. radio . The B.B.C. correspondent in Delhi receives the news immediately and he swiftly sends it to London B.B.C. office, which in turn broadcasts it all over the world. But Indian officials could not transmit the news from Delhi to West Bengal quicker than B.B.C.
