Bach Flower Remedies for Animals and Pets - Cats, Dogs, Horses

While much has been written about using Bach Flowers on humans, these remedies are also presented in connection to animal behaviour for pets including cats, dogs and horses.

It can be considered that Bach Flower Remedies are to the emotional body what Homeopathics are to the physical body. The Bach Flowers resonate with the emotional body to re-establish balance and harmony in the physical body.

They come from a book entitled "Practical Uses and Applications of the Bach Flower Remedies" by Jessica Bear.
