A detoxification diet is usually very simple, consisting, of whole foods, fruits, vegetables, grains, lots of water and lean, (non-organ or cured) meats. It is not a starvation diet, but a way to rest and re-balance your system.

It's not so much a sound, or even light (though this is closer), but 'etheric' energy - the very essence of the flower has a vibration that is imprinted upon the water in which it is placed. This etheric imprint is stored in the water, and can actually be transferred from the water at a later time to other objects (or beings) also made of vibrational energy. Bach developed a system of therapy using the vibrational patterns of flowers, imprinted into spring water, to transform the emotional vibrational patters of human beings.
