Bach flower remedies are gentle herbal preparations that support healthy emotional experience. Each of the 38 remedies is for a specific mood, emotion or mental pattern.
Bach flower remedies are gentle herbal preparations that address emotions, moods and mental states. The 38 remedies were discovered by forward-thinking physician, bacteriologist and homeopath Dr. Edward Bach in the 1920s and 1930s, as he searched for a gentler form of medicine that could address the personality of the patient. The 38 remedies plus the crisis formula are a complete and simple self-help system that has been used ever since in many countries around the world.

About Bach flower remedies...
Bach flower remedies provide gentle support for the stress of everyday life.
Bach flowers are very diluted herbal remedies and they do not retain the scent of the original plants used.
Bach flower remedies do not interact with medications, however, you should always check with your healthcare practitioner before taking them.
Each person has a different response to the remedies. Some feel a difference right away while some take a few weeks or longer before a difference is noticed. You should stick with a formula for 2-3 weeks for its full effect.
The remedies are sold at many health food stores and online. There are several brands available. One can also make flower remedies using the instructions left by Dr. Bach.
The remedies can be added to water or other drinks, taken straight from the stock bottle or applied topically. You may blend several remedies together to make a formula. A few drops several times a day is usually recommended.
Dr. Bach hoped that people would learn about and use the remedies on their own, however, many people find it helpful to work with a practitioner until they learn the system for themselves. More information can be found at www.bachcentre.com
