The Twelve Healers are the type essences. They describe your essential nature or “remedy type” - for example how we behave when ill, what we are like under pressure, what qualities we admire or dislike in others.

===Five Flower, Exam and RestEssence===5 Flower ® Essence is the original combination essence. Dr Bach named this combination “rescue remedy” and it can be used in any kind of emergency or when we need immediate emotional help. Use it before or after moments of difficulty or any kind of upset. 5 flower® essence is the first point of call in times of change or transformation. Most typically it is used to help with the mental levels of pain, suffering, and confusion which surround any crisis or emergency. It can be helpful for those who are assisting in a crisis or emergency, as well as those who are actually experiencing the distress or pain.*Rock Rose - Helianthemum nummularium : Rock Rose is used for extreme conditions of terror or fear. Its role within the Five-Flower Formula is to bring stabilization and calm, particularly by helping to anchor light, or an inner force of sun-radiance, which typically darkens during extreme states of fear or panic.* Clematis - Clematis vitalba : This plant exudes a quality of dreamy, floaty "other-worldliness", and is indicated for amorphous states of awareness which are lacking in clarity and fully awake consciousness. In the Five-Flower Formula, Clematis helps to draw one's consciousness back into the body and into present time during episodes of extreme stress, when one tends to lose connection with the physical body.* Impatiens - Impatiens glandulifera : As its old folk name of Impatiens suggests, this flower essence is used to balance and soothe those who suffer from intense irritability, impulsivity, or hastiness. The Impatiens flower helps us to "breathe with" time, rather than to fight it. Thus we can understand its important role in the Five-Flower Formula, when extreme crisis or emergency often distorts our ability to remain calm and to flow with outer events.*Cherry Plum - Prunus cerasifera : Cherry Plum is beneficial for states of extreme tension and fear of losing control. This over-straining and tightening of one's "psychic grip" on reality creates incredible stress. Like the pure white flowers themselves, the Cherry Plum brings a sense of inner peace and stillness to the Five Flower Formula, allowing us to ease the contraction felt in body and mind during times of panic and emergency.*Star Of Bethlehem - Ornithogalum umbellatum : This is a significant remedy for various states of shock or trauma, which have distorted or diminished one's more radiant inner forces. In the Five-Flower Formula, the Star of Bethlehem helps us to regain deep composure, allowing us to learn from and master the situation at hand. Beyond the immediate recovery from shock and trauma, the Star of Bethlehem also points us to a deeper sense of acceptance and understanding of our experience.===Rest Essence===Is a combination essences developed exclusively by Healingherbs Ltd.
