Bach Flower Remedies is a simple system of healing discovered by Dr. Edward Bach (UK), in the early 1930s. Dr. Bach believed that it is our fears, our anxieties, our faults and our failings that open the path to the invasion of illness.
Thus this alternate medicine system casts out negative emotions such as fear, worry, anger, self-doubt, indecision, sadness, impatience and guilt, leaving us not only free from illness but happier and healthier also. The energies of the different flowers gently remove emotional pains and sufferings and restore the mind-body equilibrium, so that the body is free to heal itself.
Homeopathy is the belief that the body can cure itself. It uses small amounts of natural substances like plants and minerals to treat the body or mind. The idea behind Bach flower remedies is similar to homeopathy. But they use fewer materials and don’t work directly on physical symptoms, but instead on the emotions.
Bach believed that healing negative emotions helps the body heal itself. His system contains 38 remedies that each address a specific negative emotion. The emotions are grouped into seven broad psychological causes of illness:
Select a flower remedy according to the emotional issue or issues at the root of your problem. You might choose one remedy or mix several together.
You can buy them at a health food store or work with a specialist or someone trained to use them. Also, some naturopaths, homeopaths, herbalists, chiropractors, and acupuncturists offer them.
There’s also a combination remedy that was developed by Bach himself. People use it to help stay calm in stressful situations
Bach remedies usually come as liquids in dropper bottles. You can either drop the remedy on your tongue or mix it into a glass of water to drink. The dosage varies, but most people take several drops a few times a day.
Some remedies are also found as pills, sprays, skin creams, and bath salts.
People have used Bach remedies for many conditions, including anxiety, depression, stress, emotional and physical trauma, cancer, and HIV.
