In this episode of the Vetiver Vibes podcast, hosts Nikki Fraser welcome Silvia Araya, a clinical trauma professional and Boch Flower Therapist from Costa Rica with over 15 years of experience specializing in panic attacks and anxiety. Silvia combines various modalities, including internal family systems, inner child healing, trauma-informed yoga, Bach flower therapy, and family constellations, to support clients worldwide.

We dive deep into the world of Bach Flower Therapy, exploring what it is and how it differs from other forms of plant medicine, particularly essential oils. Silvia shares her personal journey into this healing practice, which was influenced by her mother’s lifelong dedication to herbal medicine and flower essences. She explains that Bach flower remedies are primarily ingested, unlike essential oils, which are typically used externally. This unique aspect allows for a gentle yet effective approach to emotional healing.

Throughout the episode, we discuss the methods of creating Bach Flower essences, including the traditional techniques developed by Dr. Edward Bach in the early 1900s. Silvia elaborates on the differences between flower essences, essential oils, and teas, emphasizing that flower essences focus solely on the energetic properties of the flowers, which can be preserved for long periods.

We also touch on the importance of intention in using these remedies, as well as the holistic nature of healing that encompasses the mind, body, and spirit. Silvia highlights that Bach flower remedies can be beneficial for everyone, including children and animals, and that they can complement traditional medicine rather than replace it.

Listeners will learn about some of the most popular Bach flower remedies, including Rescue Remedy, which is particularly effective for trauma and anxiety. Silvia shares her insights on how these remedies can help with various emotional and physical issues, reinforcing the connection between our emotions and physical health.

As we wrap up the episode, Silvia encourages listeners to keep an open mind about plant medicine and to explore the healing power of nature. She offers a free eBook on anxiety to our audience, providing additional resources for those looking to manage stress and emotional challenges.

Join us for this enlightening conversation that not only educates but also inspires a deeper connection to the healing properties of plants and the importance of emotional well-being. Don't forget to check out Silvia's website for more information and resources!
