bach flower remedies

What are they?

The Bach Flower Remedies are 38 plant and flower based remedies discovered and developed in the 1930’s by Dr Edward Bach, a Harley Street Doctor and Homeopath. Dr Bach believed that emotional upset or imbalance was the cause of many illnesses.

What do they do?

The Flower Remedies are selected or prescribed according to the individual’s personality, emotional outlook and mood. They treat the emotions and the personality, not physical symptoms and help to restore balance within the person thus allowing the body’s own natural healing processes to begin.

How can they help me?

In every day life, we all experience difficult situations – a visit to the dentist, worry about unpaid bills, fear of flying, trying to give up smoking, a difficult decision to make, unexpected illness, changing job, moving house, bereavement. People respond in their own individual way to any given situation. One person will put on a brave face; another will give up at the first sign of a problem. This is the key to this unique system. Each remedy helps a specific emotion. They can be taken individually or mixed together to match the way you feel.

Are they safe?

The Bach Flower Remedies system is very safe to use and is manufactured to extremely high standards (It is a Licensed Medicine). It is suitable for all ages from newborn to the elderly. It can be safely taken alongside other therapies and does not interfere with prescribed medication and treatment including chemotherapy and radiotherapy.

Taking the Remedies:

They are in liquid form and contain brandy as a preservative. A stock bottle is the name given to the small 20ml bottle bought over the counter and used to treat every-day moods. They can be taken direct or added to food or drinks. A treatment bottle is a 30ml bottle, which is prepared by adding a selection of remedies to still mineral water and is used for longer-term difficulties.

Dr Bach intended them to be used as a self-help therapy, however many people initially find it easier to consult a Registered Bach Foundation Practitioner, fully trained in their use, to assist in the choice of remedies.

I am a fully qualified Bach Flower Practitioner registered with the Dr Edward Bach Foundation. If you need any more information, or would like a stock bottle prepared I can consult at my home or yours and also am able to give consultations by email and telephone and post Remedies to you. A personal consultation lasts approximately one hour.
