The
Flower Remedies are a set of tinctures discovered by
Dr. Edward Bach, MB, BS, MRCS, LRCP, DPH.
Dr. Bach was a consultant pathologist, bacteriologist and homeopath and his belief was that mental states could have a direct and powerful effect on physical health. His approach to healing was unique and the remedies discovered by him mainly address the emotional body which is usualy responsible for many of our diseases. There is a set of 38 base remedies and each one of them is aimed at a different state of mind or emotion. They don't treat physical illness directly, but by restoring harmony to the mind they allow the body's natural defences to work more easily.
The
Bach Flower Remedies can be used in conjunction with other forms of treatment
or therapy and they will not interfere with them, or they will not
be interfered by them. The practitioner uses a normal discussion process with
the client as the method of assessment. Based on the main emotions that are
detected, there is a main remedy that is prepared by selecting one or a few of
the base remedies. This personalised remedy is taken 4 times a day. After a few
weeks from the first encounter, an evaluation session is used to analyze the
results of the remedy and any further changes or additions to the main remedy
are selected.
The remedies are gentle because they approach the problem layer by layer like
peeling the onion starting from the outside-in. This whole process of
uncovering deeper and deeper emotions can be continued until the center of the
problem is reached and the client is feeling much better. There is no
requirement or condition on when this process should stop. The client is the
master of the healing process, the flower remedies are there just to help along
the way.
The remedies are very effective for animals and plants as well as for humans, specialy that both animals and plants are less likely to be defensive and they don't hide their feelings.
"Never let anyone give up hope of getting well."

"In ilness there is a change of mood from that in ordinary life, and those who
are observant can notice this change often before, and sometimes long before,
the disease appears, and by treatment can prevent the malady ever appearing."
