"Working with Bach Flower remedies, I like to address the core, or root, of the situation that is causing discomfort or unease. It is easy to see the effects of a situation and become caught up in attempting to deal with them. Yet I have found that what appears to be the “problem” is often just a symptom of a deeper life issue. When we can work at this deeper level we may spend much less time and energy than we would by working with a more superficial focus. Often when we work with the core or root of a situation, many of the uncomfortable symptoms that held our attention melt away. Some uncomfortable situations that seemed unrelated often come into harmonie and are resolved almost effortlessly once we have addressed the deeper cause." - Dr Amit Kalyanji Saiya
