The Bach flower remedies are 38 homeopathically prepared plant
& flower based remedies, each one specially devised to treat
a different feeling.
The remedies are named after an English physician, Dr Edward Bach,
who discovered their use in the 1930s after some 20 years of research
into human nature, & the relationship between the personality
& mental outlook & its effect on chronic disease.
They are used to aid well being & focus on the user's state
of mind, rather than their physical complaints. This is because
state of mind or moods not only hinder recovery of health &
convalescence but are generally accepted as potential causes of
sickness.
They are infusions of various flowers in water preserved in alcohol,
& taken directly in the mouth (2-3 drops on the tongue) or diluted
in water & drunk.
To choose the remedy you need, first pick one of the seven categories
that best describes your frame of mind & then match the exact
mood you're in with the appropriate Bach Flower remedy.
