Dr. Edward Bach, an English medical doctor and homeopath, discovered how to use flowers for emotional healing and created the first 38 flower essence remedies, known collectively as Bach Flower Essences. He also created an “emotional first-aid” blend of five flower essences called Rescue Remedy.

To understand how flower essences work, we need to understand that plants have to overcome challenges in their environment, just like we do. Plants, like people, have an energy or characteristics that help them rise above these challenges. This energy can be likened to a person’s personality, which allows a person to cope in a positive way with the challenges they encounter in life.

When we take a flower essence it can break through blocks in our heart, where we are in denial about what we really feel (and think). It can help us face feelings we aren’t acknowledging or are simply blaming on others. This increased awareness helps us make constructive changes in our thoughts and behaviors, which guides us back to a more centered or emotionally-balanced place, leading to increased feelings of peace, calm, love and happiness.

We carry a wide range of Flower essences along with seven new flower essence blends that we are excited about.

DISTRESS REMEDY: is the basic remedy for helping us to be more emotionally centered. It promotes presence and awareness in traumatic situations, eases stress and promotes self-awareness or enlightenment.

KEEP COOL: a blend that helps to ease feelings of anger and irritability. It helps a person learn to control their temper and to work through problems by communicating rather than fighting.

FIND STRENGTH: when a person lacks the ability to get in touch with their anger and stand up to abuse, Find Strength can help rebuild their energy. It helps promotes healthy personal boundaries, the ability to stand one’s ground and say “no” to unreasonable expectations and demands and the ability to fight back when one is being taken advantage of or abused.

RELEASE IT: When a person is grieving any loss, Release It can help them move through their grief, release what they have lost and find comfort and healing. It helps a person let go of the past and find inner strength to carry on. It is also good for people who feel like they are victims in life.

OPEN HEART: a blend for people who have been so deeply wounded that they have a difficult time trusting others or feeling sensitivity or compassion. It helps a person face past hurts and emotional wounds and open their hearts again to love and intimacy.

BE COURAGEOUS: helps us face our fears and be Be Courageous flower essence aids a person’s feelings of courage, self-confidence and self-reliance. It helps people overcome their fears and aids decision-making by helping a person have more trust in their own judgment.

BE RESPONSE -ABLE: many times people dodge their pain and the difficult decisions of life by engaging in self-defeating behaviors. It takes self-awareness and a sense of responsibility to overcome addictive, compulsive or self-defeating behaviors. Be Response-Able helps a person get in touch with the emotions that are driving their dysfunctional behavior so they can start to make better decisions.

Probiotic literally mean “for life”. There are two main types of probiotics found in the digestive tract:  Lactobacillus is the primary bacteria in the small intestine and Bifidobacterium which is the primary probiotic in the large intestine.

Beneficial bacteria, or probiotics in the digestive tract can provide numerous health benefits including:

• Immune Support (shown to help increase white blood cell count and stimulate the immune response
• Produce Short Chain Fatty Acids (they support the production of intestinal cells, which are used to rebuild the intestinal walls every 3 to 5 days.
• Food Digestion (Probiotics stimulate enzyme production, which ultimately assists with the digestion of food and the absorption of beneficial nutrient
• Maintain healthy intestinal bacteria balance (probiotics help reduce levels of harmful bacteria and microbes (such as E. Coli and Salmonella) by producing compunds that inhibit their growth or antagonize them.

WHAT IS A CO-OP?
A co-op is a buying group that cooperatively pools their orders together to purchase organic produce from a wholesaler at wholesale prices.  Not only are members helping themselves, they are helping others by sharing some of the responsibilities.

WHY IS ORGANIC BEST?
Organic produce is grown without the use of chemical fertilizers and pesticides.  In the 1940’s there were approximately 200,000 pounds of pesticides being used per year in the Unites States.  Today, almost 3 billion pounds are being used!  Some ingredients in pesticides have been shown to contribute to the cause of cancer.  Surely a good scrub thorough peeling will get rid of those pesticide residues?  Not so, reports a 1994 Environmental Working Group study analyzing the U.S. Department of Agricultures own data.  “Washing, peeling, coring and otherwise preparing fruits and vegetables for normal consumption did not eliminate a single pesticide from any of the foods tested.”

AM I REALLY SAVING MONEY?
You bet!! Once you’re convinced organic is the way to go, start saving approximately 40% off of normal retail prices by joining our co-op family.

HOW DO I GET STARTED?
Enrollment fee to join the co-op is $20.00.  Each year thereafter, an annual renewal fee of $10 will be applied.  10% will be added at the end of every order to cover administrative costs.  There will be a $25.00 charge on all returned checks.

Ordering is simple.  Just fill out and submit an order form to me on the day you pick up your current order or call your order in by Wednesday of the week preceding the pickup day.

Delivery day will be every other Tuesday.  Produce pick up will be from 9 am to 12:00 pm.  ALL ORDERS PICKED UP AFTER 12:00 PM WILL BE ASSESSED A $2.50 HANDLING CHARGE (we will bag all remaining orders after that time to ensure there are no leftovers!)
