Avaliação do uso de Florais de Bach no tratamento da ansiedade pela percepção dos usuários da terapia floral

Abstract

Floral therapy can be considered as a complement to health, in which it uses floral essences, of simple and natural nature, elaborated through wild plants, flowers and trees of the field, acting in a way that balances the feelings of those it makes use of, and can then be combined with any other form of treatment. Edward Bach pioneered the use of floral essences, and throughout his work showed how health and pathologies are strongly coupled with the way in which the individual lives. To understand whether Floral Therapy contributes significantly to the treatment of patients suffering from anxiety, a questionnaire was applied seeking the perception of some individuals about the new innovative and/or complementary therapy, being a qualitative noninvasive questionnaire using the WHOQOL-100 method (The World Health Organization Quality of Life Assessment Instrument: Characteristics and Perspectives). The project was submitted to the ethics and research committee having as an opinion number equal to 3,682,175, after being accepted by the FREE AND INFORMED CONSENT TERM (TCLE) was sent via e-mail to participants of the Santa Monica Space in therapy with Bach florals to treat anxiety through a digital platform and after receiving the answers it was possible to perform the analyses of them and realize that the use and demand of floral therapy is being increasingly frequent for the treatment of anxiety in patients who seek a better quality of life, thus being able to live with family members, friends, co-workers without major disorders, also having a significant improvement in sleep quality, daily disposition. Thus it is possible to consider that floral therapy is bringing satisfactory results in the lives of many people and assisting in the various forms of treatment that are often not being so effective.
