What are Bach Flower Remedies?

During the early 1930’s a Harley Street physician, Dr Edward Bach, MB, BS, MRCS, LRCP, DPH discovered a complete system of healing the emotions using the wild flowers of the countryside.

He identified 38 flower remedies, with each plant having been specifically chosen for its primary function—the ability to treat the mind. These 38 remedies provide for every negative state of mind today, as they did when first discovered in the 1930’s.

'Modern society may challenge our lives with the pressures of its demanding pace, changing environment and ‘current’ diseases, but human nature does not change. Although we may have to face different problems to those of the 1930’s, it is our emotional outlook that is important, remaining constant whatever the era may be. For example, the fear of AIDS today is no different to the fear of Diphtheria prevalent in Dr. Bach’s time. The flower remedies treat the mental outlook, the personality trait and the temperament of the sufferer rather than the physical complaint directly, so it is the fear that needs to be treated. The remedies treat the person, not the disease, and although times do change, the remedies move along with the people, not the era'. (from Bach Flower Remedies Step by Step, by Judy Ramsell Howard).

Can Bach Flower Remedies help you?
Is there something that is preventing you from enjoying life to the full? A feeling, a mood, an attitude, an emotion or something you just can’t quite put your finger on? Then it is almost certain that there’s a Bach Flower Remedy to help you. By pinpointing how you are feeling at the moment (your mood) you will indicate the appropriate remedy.

Bach Flower Remedies will rebalance you by addressing the emotional states such as Fear, Uncertainty, Insufficient interest in present circumstances, Loneliness, Over-sensitivity, Despondency or Over-care for others.

As a qualified practitioner I can offer consultations to help you start using the remedies. I will guide you with understanding, so that you can look at your mood and emotions; explain about the various remedies and discuss a suitable remedy combination to address your present feelings. I will also explain a little about the philosophy of Dr. Edward Bach and how that philosophy lets you heal yourself.
