What are Bach™
Flower Remedies?
When we feel fulfilled, happy and positive, we tend to enjoy better health. We
get more out of life and we can give more to our friends and family.
But things happen. Sometimes we need a little help to stay in balance and move
forward. That's when
Bach Original Flower Remedies can help.
Created by a Harley Street doctor in the 1930's, the Bach Original Flower
Remedies are 38 plant and flower based remedies that can help you manage the
emotional demands of everyday life. Each remedy aids a specific emotion. You can
take them individually or mix them together to match the way you feel.
Recent research into the links between emotions and the immune system supports
the view that emotional and physical health are linked. More and more medical
experts now agree that a healthy mind really does ensure a healthy body. Bach
Original Flower Remedies can help you take control of the way you feel and get
more out of life.
Personally I am quite easily disillusioned and pessimistic in nature, but I
have found that when I take
Gorse, my mood improves and I become much more
positive.'
Teresa Munro, London
I find that Vervain is useful to calm my son, who can be over enthusiastic
and Larch helps to improve my daughters confidence. I think
Rescue Remedy is an
essential for all parents, I have even used it on the rabbit!.'
Diane Dashfield, 35, Essex
I have gone through quite a few periods of change in my life, such as
surgery, moving home and separation from my family. During times like these I
have used
Walnut for difficulty adjusting to change.
Mimulus for known fear and
Star of Bethlehem for shock and sorrow.'
Barbara Tremain, 38, Cornwall
Choosing the right
Bach™ Original Flower Remedies for you
Recognizing exactly how you feel is the key to choosing the most appropriate
Bach Flower Remedy. Try to pinpoint how you are feeling at the moment. Then
match the exact mood you're in with the appropriate remedy.
For example, if moving house is making you feel frustrated and impatient, try
Impatiens. And if you are finding it hard to adapt to your new neighborhood, try
Walnut.
Sometimes we find it difficult to be honest with ourselves. Few of us want to be
seen as jealous or over-protective, but once we have admitted how we feel, we
are halfway towards balancing that emotion. So, if you have trouble working out
your feelings, why not ask someone who knows you well to help?
Where do the Bach™
Original Flower Remedies come from?
The Bach Original Flower Remedies were developed by Dr Edward Bach a
Harley Street doctor and well known Physician, Bacteriologist, Homeopath and
Researcher. He believed that attitude of mind plays a vital role in maintaining
health and recovering from illness.
He identified 38 basic negative states of mind and created a plant or flower
based remedy for each one.
After leaving London in 1930, Dr Bach explored the countryside in search of the
remedies for several years. In 1934 he decided to settle down and create a
centre for his work, and chose Mount Vernon, a small cottage in Sotwell,
Oxfordshire.
He spent the last years of his life at Mount Vernon and it was here that he
completed his research.
Nowadays, Mount Vernon is better known as The Bach Centre, and the
present custodians continue to prepare the mother tinctures (first process in
making the remedies), often using the same locations that Dr Bach identified in
the 1930's.
Only the Bach signature guarantees that you receive the original Bach
Flower Remedies, prepared as they have been since Dr. Bach's time with
tinctures made exclusively by the Bach Centre at Mount Vernon.
Rescue™ Remedy
Dr Bach created an emergency combination containing five flower remedies -
Impatiens, Star of Bethlehem, Cherry Plum, Rock Rose and Clematis.

and can be used to help you cope with immediate everyday situations such as
going to the dentist, interviews, making a complaint, taking a test or wedding
day nerves. It can also help in times of crisis or trauma such as bereavement, a
relationship breakdown or redundancy.
For pets this remedy is suitable for a
wide range of anxiety induced problems: poor appetite while owner is away,
fretting, fears, hysteria especially with thunderstorms, fireworks, gunshot,
travel sickness, stress licking. For more information on Bach Flower
