The Bach-Flowers is a system of medicine founded and developed by a British physician named by Edward Bach. Over a period of years, Dr. Bach found 38 healing flowers and plants that – with the right preparation – became the 38 Bach Flower Essences.
The Bach Flower Essences are a safe and natural method of healing, gently restoring the balance between mind and body by casting out emotions such as fear, worry, hatred and indecision that interfere with the equilibrium of the being as a whole. The remedies are gentle and effective, with no side effects. Thirty-seven of the 38 Bach Flowers are flowers from wild shrubs and trees. They are fully compatible with homeopathic treatments, provided they are properly integrated.
The Bach Flower remedies transform negative attitudes into positive ones, rather than suppress them. They stimulate the body's own capacity to heal itself, releasing the physic system to engage completely in the fight against sickness and stress. People benefit from taking Bach Flowers even if they do not physically ill. In periods of difficulty and fatigue that could induce a negative state, Bach Flowers are fundamental, restoring the equilibrium before physical symptoms appear.
Different Bach Flowers are prescribed for each patient and situation, since they specifically affect the emotional condition of the person; therefore, two different persons with the same complaint could benefit from different Bach Flowers.
The flowers can be used in conjunction with any conventional or complementary medicine, including other allopathic or homeopathic remedies without any negative interference.
