What are Flower Remedies

“Health is our heritage, our right. It is the complete and full union between soul, mind and body; and this is not a difficult far-away ideal to attain, but one so easy and natural that many of us have overlooked it.” These are the words of the late Dr. Edward Bach, founder of the Bach Flower Remedies.

Dr. Bach discovered 38 of these flower remedies, each for a specific emotional and mental state, plus a combination of five of the remedies designed for difficult and demanding situations, which he called Rescue Remedy.

37 of the 38 remedies are based on single wild flowers and tree blossoms. The exception, Rock Water, comes from the water of a natural spring with healing properties.

How Do They Work

These flower remedies, like other forms of natural medicine, take effect by treating the individual, not the disease or the symptoms of the disease. They work specifically on the emotional condition of the person concerned. Thus two people with the same complaint, e.g. arthritis, may benefit from quite different remedies. One may be resigned to the illness, while the other may be impatient with it, so different remedies will be appropriate in each case.

The effect of taking the remedies is not to suppress negative attitudes but to transform them into positive ones, stimulating one’s potential for self-healing and freeing the physical system to engage fully in fighting disease and stress.

People do not have to be physically ill to benefit from the remedies. Many of us go through times of difficulty and fatigue when negativity creeps in; at these times the remedies are invaluable in restoring the balance before physical symptoms appear.

What you have just read is part of the Introduction to a book entitled The 38 Flower Remedies. You can find this book for sale here on this website. It talks about Dr. Bach and his discoveries, as well as his philosophy. The book also explains how to choose and use the remedies.
