Flower remedies by Dr. Bach

Some people may think that flower therapy as a holistic healing system should really fall under herbalism, but we believe that the work that Dr. Bach did warrants a page of its own, and the fact that the flower essences are so diluted that they do not work on a biological but rather on a vibration or energy pattern.

Dr Bach
dr bach flower remedies

Flower remedies, or flower essences, were developed by Dr. Edward Bach in the 1930's. He worked in general practice with rooms in Harley Street, as well as a bacteriologist and working on vaccines and a set of homeopathic nosodes.

He left his lucrative practice and developed by means of his natural healing gift and intuition the system of medicine that now carries his name.

Dr. Bach identified and developed through observation 38 remedies corresponding to different negative moods or states of mind.

On this page, we have a short summary of each of the remedies:

It works on the premise that the remedies contain certain aspects of the plants' energy which in turn affects the energy field of the patient and by doing so helps people integrate their emotions.

The essences are taken by placing 2 - 4 drops on/under the tongue or putting 2 drops in a glass of spring water and sipping this water throughout the day.

Up to seven remedies can be used together, and it has been found that a few well chosen ones work far better than making a complicated cocktail of all of them.

Although this treatment may be subjective, it has proved to be successful on children in which subjectivity would be negated to some degree, it has no toxic effects and does not interact with any other medicine.

Rock Rose

When your fear has turned to terror and your panicky state of mind makes conscious thought and decision impossible, then rock rose may be of benefit.

Rock Water

When you are seeking perfection in yourself but do so in the extreme, which leads to setting such high targets and being unkind to yourself if you fail your own rules, then rock water may benefit you.

If you are like a rolling stone, looking for your life's mission and direction, and keep on changing direction and work, then wild oat may be of help to assist you in defining your goals and purpose in life and in so doing showing the way forward.

Wild Rose Dr Bach flower remedies

If you do not even struggle against the daily worries and uncomplainingly accept what hand life has dealt you, without trying to better your lot in life, then wild rose may be for you. It would help you to get rid of apathy and bring a sense of purpose with happiness and enjoyment as a bonus.
