How The Bach Flower Essences And Tissue Salts Relate To Astrology

‘It is better to hide my pain from pretentious physicians, perhaps I will be cured from the “Treasury of the Invisible”.’ ~ the Persian poet Hafiz

The ‘Treasury of the Invisible’ in the quotation refers to the ‘Divine Order’ where the archetypes of all manifestation are to be found. It also refers to the vertical causes in contrast to the horizontal causes with which the ordinary physician is concerned. As we know, natural medicine, just like astrology, is concerned with the vertical causes – ‘the interrelation between the domains of the spirit, the soul and the body’. 1 Two of the most well known remedies available to treat the body on a vertical level are the Bach Flower Remedies and tissue salts, both of which have a direct correlation to the craft of astrology.

The essence of true healing is not simply to remove physical suffering; it is to assist the person to come to terms with the cause of the illness, on all levels of the vertical plane, and to understand the significance of the illness as a result. This is precisely what astrology offers – a natal chart in the hands of a qualified and skilled astrologer can yield insights relating to this vertical plane that very few other crafts are able to do. On another level, due to the fact that everything that exists on earth the nature of the planets, the planets have rulership over everything that exists on earth. This includes the plants and minerals utilised to produce the two remedies in question, as well as the conditions they treat.
