Bach Flowers are remarkable energetic remedies, very safe to use and yet very powerfull and effective to heal both body and mind problems. They do not belong to standard traditional medicine, they do not contain any biochemical substance but transport physical substance.
It is an emotionally based approach highly effective and helpful for many conditions: anxiety, fears, depression, confusion.

Due to body-mind correlations, these natural remedies can bring about full recovery on chronic problems in every area: circulatory, respiratory, digestive, gynecological, metabolic, muscle tonification, etc. Often the first signs of energy imbalance are the little discomforts, which we learn to ignore, such as poor concentration, low performance, general fatigue, restless nights, pessimism, depression, bad moods. Because emotional disharmony leads to physical disorders, Bach Flowers will always prove empowering and highly effective healing resources: they help us become somebody emotionally determined and mentally committed with our progress. And we make progress. If you are perceiving any emotional imbalance or mental block of any intensity that is impeding you from attaining radiant health or from reaching your personal or professional goals, this is an excellent reason to start: you may want to prove the benefits of these magnificent energetic impulses on yourself. Just try their effects on your issues. NO faith needed. In most cases, few drops of these mild non chemical type of product during a short term prove so effective and supportive that in no time they will become your most reliable source for maintaining radiant health and high levels of wellness. Many people came to Flower therapy with remarkable skepticism and quickly found themselves a convert. This is because, in order for them to be effective, Bach Flowers only require that you are honest, reflexive and open.
Bach Flowers are well-known as “remedies for the soul” because they heal and cure by helping the individual surpass, transform or eliminate those emotions, attitudes or patterns of behavior which interfere in the development of his full potential. As an energetic therapy, Bach Flower therapy understands the human being as a microcosm substantially related to the macrocosm of Nature. The archetypes which are found in the human psyche have their healing correlation to plant archetypes which are living in Nature. With high vibration energetic impulses, Bach flower essences bring the suffering individual back to emotional balance and joy by concentrating and working on his unique sensitivities and resources for coping with daily life stresses and imbalances. Bach Flowers are wellknown for their universality of application. Physicians, nurses, dentists, optometrists, vets, chiropractors, acupuncturists, herbalists, massage practitioners, physical therapists, nutritionists, psychologists, teachers, psycho-spiritual coaches, religious counselors, etc., rely on Bach Flower remedies as a means to enhance their practices. Because they operate within the areas of emotions and because whichever the illness, the complete cure comes out as a result of emotional balance, Bach Flowers and traditional medicine make a perfect match. They will always “potentiate” traditional medicine by turning the patient into somebody truly patient and optimistic. They will engender feelings of determination and increasing faith. The person is inspired by renewed ideas and hopes regarding his own cure, additional impulse towards his positive disposition is usually installed and highly welcomed in most cases since it is so necessary for recovery purposes. The patient becomes somebody committed to his own progress.
That you accept the logic of energy having an impact on your body, mind or emotions is no pre-requisite for the essences to be of help. Bach Flowers vibrational influence may be felt quite strongly sometimes, but its beneficial effects are always rewarding and long lasting. For these reasons, Bach Flowers have been gaining increased attention all over the world.
About Side-Effects
Perhaps an interesting point is that these remedies can be self-prescribed. Everywhere people are getting great results in dealing with a variety of illnesses and diseases using Bach Flowers by themselves. Allergies, jet lag, muscle spasms, menstrual irregularities, sexual disorders, low back pain, and various lesser ailments like colds, flu, headaches, vomits, or stomach distress, etc. They are mainly used in cases of anxiety, frustration and distress caused by weddings, handfastings, funerals, memorials, seminars, exams, etc. Whichever the problem may be, a fast growing number of people try the method without thinking it twice and they would normally get good results. If they don´t perceive any change, there will never be side effects. Unlike traditional medicine, there are no side effects associated with Bach Flower Therapy. They are said to work by resonance. This means that a wrong essence will not stimulate a “soul chord” and substantial changes will not be achieved. While the correct essences will help the person elicit significant body-mind responses, in case someone takes an inappropriate essence, he will experiment little effect, no effect, or confusion. Flower essencies are among the safest, most self-regulating health remedies available. Once one has witnessed its outstandings effects on oneself, Flower Therapy soon becomes the preferred alternative. However, while they are harmless, and although they can even be prepared at home because they represent a most simple kind of medicine, they should never be taken lightly. Any wise Bach Flower approach will always look at the overall medical state taking into consideraton other areas of importance such as social life, lifestyle, diet and nourishing, exercise, work, relationships, spiritual practices, inner world, the world of desires and limitations, ambitions and fears in order to successfully operate upon them. Ideally, Bach Flower treatments should be reinforced by techniques focusing on the correction of underlying imbalances and building the strengths within each person for healing and pulling through. When there is better balance, every symptom will diminish and eventually disappear. Where there is happiness there is health. Where there is good-quality stress, there is high-quality life.
Bach Flowers are “potentized remedies”; this is because they are vehicles, some kind of agents, of a rich, potent, clarifying kind of energy. People receiving Bach Flower treatment report more vitality, gain better perspective and better performance, effectively concentrate, sleep better, have a more joyful sexual life. However, apart from its healing approach, other uses to Bach Flowers are found effective too. Generally speaking, where there is happiness, there is little room for illness but this does not mean that Bach Flowers will not be usefull if you are in good health. While they are normally used to cure emotional conflicts, actually it is not necessary to have a specific symptom or medical diagnosis in order to fully benefit from Bach Flowers.
There is enough evidence about Bach Flowers being highly effective resources for self development and improvement. Many people report to take Bach Flowers “every now and then”. They have experienced the benefits of taking them not so much as remedies but as true “generators of capabilities” --which they are. Mastering the techniques, Bach Flowers´effects usually go beyond expectations. The reason is simple: Once the body is cured, the mind becomes more and more receptive; less overloaded, more clear and more brillant. Capabilities are more easily re-born and ready to develop as a result of any emotional cure with Bach Flowers. For this reason it is important to learn how to use these extraordinary remedies and wisely take full advantage of their properties. They are powerful energetic impacts---shots of good positive vibration--- they should never be limitted to their healing benefits.

As "capabilities generators", Bach Flowers are especially effective on a healthy and strong individual. This is when they can meet their mental blocks without delay. Used in combination with the essences, such techniques provide additional positive impulse to their minds, to their overall attitude in life. Even when feeling good, almost everybody welcomes more clarity, physical strengh, peace of mind, a balanced lifestyle. Within a healthy organism, these states are more easily installed and reinforced by Bach Flowers
Used with understanding, Bach Flowers easily become magnetic resources because they have great attractive power. They help us get in sinchronicity with issues, people and places that resonate with our values and tendencies; with our goals and towards our happiness. It is not by coincidence that a person taking Bach Flowers becomes more assertive instead of aggressive or cynical. Develops high self-esteem instead of narcissism. The popular saying: “try Bach Flowers and wait for strange things to happen” is true and is based upon facts. Only those things are not at all “strange” things. They are synchronic manifestations. By stimulating greater awareness of the inner life, the essences build solid bonds not only between body and soul but between souls attracting situations, people, places, ideas, topics and issues that are in resonance with ours, with our natural tendencies helping us make good progress in every arena of our life. As a general rule, when you take Bach Flowers for its attractive powers, you will expect to feel “better in yourself” as you establish better relationships, develop capabilities, discover your hidden artistic side. You will probably get closer to your real purposes and intentions in your actions and sufferings. You will always discover your true natural tendencies in the peace of your mind.
Bach Flowers seem to derive their beneficial powers from the inherent life forces within substances. What this means is that there´s a specific quality, a life force, (Edward Bach called this “a virtue”) vibrating inside the essences. This “virtue” is nothing but pure positive energy that will expand more smoothly and vibrate more energetically in a healthy body and in a healthy mind. This explains the fact that children, plants, animals as well as healthy grown-ups are more sensitive to Bach Flower influence and make progress much more quickly than others. Bach Flower energetic impulses will help you keep strong determined and optimistic, with your self-esteem high enough to help you
meet your dreams.
Their attracting power is causing growing interest especially amongst those who feel really committed to their success, to their recovery and are ready to take wise action.

For thousands of years, our ancestors used natural remedies to help individuals with physical or mental health problems. These formulas were passed from generation to generation for centuries until modern medicine came into being. Modern medicine, while it saves lives and does amazing things, may be missing out on the potential benefits associated with natural health products.
The Origin of Bach Flower Essences
Bach Flower Essences are named for Dr. Edward Bach, a British physician. He was an extremely successful physician but felt concerned about the tendency of modern medicine to focus on disease, rather than the patient's health as a whole. He gave up his practice in 1930 and devoted his time and energy to finding natural remedies.
Dr. Bach found that there were 38 essences that would unblock the natural health potential in himself and his patients. These 38 essences corresponded to various mental states and were composed of refined herbal extracts.
What Exactly Are the Bach Flower Essences?
Bach Flower Essences are natural remedies made using an all-natural process. Natural wild flower infusions are added to spring water by steeping it in the sun or by boiling it. Hand made in England, the 38 Bach Flower Essences are preserved using grape brandy.
The principle behind the use of natural remedies like the Bach Flower Essences is that there is a mind-body connection. If the mind is at peace, then the body will also return to a healthy condition. This natural health approach is based on the idea that dispelling negative feelings like anger, anxiety, and indecisiveness will allow the body to heal itself.
How Animals Can Benefit from Bach Flower Essences
Most animal lovers will tell you that animals also feel emotions. You can tell when your dog is depressed or anxious or when he feels jealous or angry. Animal behavior is also affected by these emotions, so it important to get animal emotions in balance. Bach Flower Essences are one way to help restore emotional equilibrium in your pet.
Bach Flower Essences During Pregnancy
Both your intuition and you doctor will tell you that you must be careful what you consume during pregnancy. There is a long list of forbidden foods and medications. However, Bach Flower Essences are not on that list. They promote natural health and are safe for expectant mothers.
Pregnancy is a time of great emotional turmoil, making it also a very important time to consider natural remedies for emotional issues. Hormonal imbalances and simply adjusting to the state of pregnancy can cause rush of feelings that are difficult to process and can lead to health problems. Bach Flower Essences are one of the safest ways to deal with these concerns.
Children and Bach Flower Essences
Childhood is often described as a carefree time, but most of us know that simply isn't true. Children, especially the children of today, feel anxious and depressed at times. These feelings can lead to greater health problems and should be resolved as quickly and simply as possible.
Since you don't want to endanger your child's health with any unnecessary chemicals, natural remedies are a good way to restore balance to your child's emotional health. Bach Flower Essences are completely safe for children and babies.
Why Natural Health is Sometimes Better
Conventional medicine is extremely effective in many areas; however, there is a tendency, as Dr. Bach discovered, for many medical doctors to focus on curing specific physical ailments, rather than looking deeper into the patient's emotional health. In addition, medical remedies often carry warnings about side effects and dangerous overdoses. Natural remedies are much safer and provide a complementary therapy to regular medical care.

I have to thank my son's bump on the head for some of my
conviction about the benefit of Bach flower remedies. Jon was
about a year old and had hit his head quite badly. The bump was
swelling before my eyes, and I decided to try out the Bach
rescue cream that I'd recently purchased. The bump was partly in
his hair and partly on his forehead. I carefully put the cream
on - it was difficult to get the cream close to the skin where
his hair was. The next day the bruise on his forehead had gone
completely, but the bruise in his hair was still there, although
it was not as bad as I had expected it to be. This amazed me and
made me determined to learn about these amazing remedies.
I bought and studied the little booklet that explained all about
them - as a very busy mum I was happy to have something that
wasn't too big to read! I was also happy that the remedies
weren't drugs and could be used safely with even tiny babies.
There are 38 different flower remedies for various psychological
states, and I instantly could see how I could use them for
myself, my family and my friends: larch is for someone who lacks
self confidence, aspen is for generalised fears, impatiens for
impatience, heather for those who want to be the centre of
attention all the time, and scleranthus for the undecided.
The remedies were developed by Dr Edward Bach -pronounced
'Batch' - who lived in England from 1886-1936. He was trained as
a doctor and worked as a pathologist and bacteriologist, but he
felt that medicine was not getting to the root of the problem.
He learnt about homeopathy, and developed various important
homeopathic remedies, but he was still not satisfied, and this
led him to develop the Bach flower remedies.
The remedies are based on flowering plants and trees, and are
designed to correct inappropriate psychological states. This
doesn't mean that they're not suitable for physical problems,
because Bach believed that there was "a factor above the
physical plane which in the ordinary course of life protects or
renders susceptible any particular individual with regard to
disease, of whatever nature it may be." (From 'Heal Thyself' by
Edward Bach). In other words, if you are dissatisfied or
distressed, you are more likely to catch a cold or become
chronically ill.
Bach found the remedies through intuition: sometimes he would
hold a flower in his hand and experience in his body and mind
what the remedy was capable of, and sometimes he experienced
deep negative emotions and would go out into the countryside
searching until he found the flower that would turn off these
feelings. Bach also found that if he floated the flowers in a
glass bowl containing spring water in the sunshine, this healing
property of the flower passed into the water. For some plants
that flowered early in the year, such as holly, Bach boiled the
flowers and stems to overcome the problem of the lack of
sunshine.
The remedies are normally taken in one of two ways:
Putting two drops of the chosen remedy in a glass of water and
sipping it frequently Putting two drops of several remedies in a
bottle with water and/or brandy and taking 4 drops 4 times a day
There is one combination that Dr Bach found he used a lot, and
he called this 'rescue remedy'. This is a mixture of 5 of the 38
flower remedies (cherry plum, clematis, impatiens, rock rose and
star of Bethlehem). It can be used for any emergency or
stressful event. This is really helpful after a fall, or an
argument, before visiting the dentist or taking an examination.
The normal way of taking it is to put 4 drops in a glass of
water and then to take small, frequent sips. You can also take
it straight from the bottle in a real emergency. Many nurses I
meet swear by it, and secretly and unofficially recommend it to
their patients.
Rescue cream contains the same 5 remedies as the rescue remedy
drops, but with the addition of crab apple and is useful for
cuts and bruises, and for babies who fall and bang their heads!
The remedies are made using brandy, and this may be a problem
for some people. An alternative way to take them is by dabbing
them on the wrist, behind the ears and at the temples - this way
the benefit of the remedies may be felt without imbibing alcohol.
The remedies do not interfere with any drugs, and can be taken
with good effect by the terminally ill. Babies and pets seem to
benefit often apparently instantly and miraculously, and many
adults can tell you of amazing results for themselves and their
children
