Though the general consensus of the medical field is that these substances are pure hooey, or at best a placebo effect... I have extensive working knowledge of flower essences (Bach remedies and others) and find them to be very effective and helpful, especially for unbalanced spirit/mind/emotional states.
I'd like to offer up a few informational tidbits that perhaps someone will find to be of use.
Flower essences are a unique healing modality... these are NOT the essential oils used in aromatherapy, but rather, are subtle and highly diluted liquid extracts of specific wildflowers and the flowering parts of certain trees. They are not homeopathic medicines, but share some of the qualities of that field of alternative medicine.
They are inexpensive, fast acting, free of side effects and though subtle, quite effective.
You do not have to 'believe' in them to have them work, in fact, they work very well on small children and animals and can make a noticeable positive change in behavior and mental/emotional state almost immediately in most cases.
Dosage is usually 4 drops from the bottle on the tongue or into a glass of water and sipped. They can also be used externally.
I have found several to be of use to counter the negative effects one may experience with recreational drugs and I would like to offer a few of them up here.
Rescue Remedy (a Bach flower remedy, probably the most well known) is a combination of 5 flowers which is a general aid for stress, panic, trauma and anxiety.
If you get or try just one essence, make it this one as it has so many uses.
A single dose will provide a sense of calmness and relief. Rescue Remedy is great to stabilize the personality and can be used as often as needed.
It works well for physical trauma as well... my son slammed his finger in a car door and was in great pain. I applied a few drops directly on his finger and gave him a few drops orally... the next morning I asked him how his finger was, and he literally checked all his fingers... could not remember which one it was he had slammed to door on. Seriously.
Recently a coworker fell and scraped his knee up pretty bad... again, an application of RR and he said the pain just about disappeared immediately and by the next day had healed up much more than it would have if left untreated.
Many uses for this stuff... great for panic and anxiety so it would help a lot with difficult trips or bad drug experiences.
ASPEN - The flower essence from this tree is specific for fears and disturbances of an unknown cause. Being creeped out or having a feeling of impending doom is a good indication of when to use this essence. Great for 'bad trips', demonic overtones.
WHITE CHESTNUT - For mental agitation, inability to sleep due to an overactive mind. Thoughts repeating endlessly. Hamster wheel mind. Quiets the thought process without suppressing it.
IMPATIENS - For irritation of the body and mind. Itching. Inflammation. Very calming and healing for stimulant overuse.
CHERRY PLUM - For obsessive thoughts or emotions. The feeling of being driven or being in a pressure cooker. Feeling as though you could lose your mind? This is the flower remedy for that state.
WALNUT - Very protective and useful if one is facing a major change. Great aid for those trying to kick a certain drug or for the psychological component of going through withdrawals.
CLEMATIS - Grounding, helps one 'come back to reality'.
SWEET CHESTNUT - Counters despair, being at the end of one's rope, the grinding anxiety of not being able to take any more.
MUSTARD - Great for those who are deeply depressed, it lifts the 'black cloud'.
Many other flower essences are available, but the above list is a few I figure some here could find to be of use.
