Bach Flower Remedies

Dr Edward Bach (1886-1936) was a medical doctor, bacteriologist and home­opath. He is known in homeopathy for the Bach Nosodes, made from bowel flora. In the 1920s he practised homeo­pathy in Harley Street, London. How­ever, he is better known for his work in creating the Bach Flower Remedies. Dr. Bach had three key insights. The first and foremost he observed that people were of different types, according to their out­look, feelings and thinking about life. Then comes personality. He was able to develop his intuitive sensitivity to the point where he was able to experience an emotional state, and then find the support from nature in the form of an essence from the appropriate flower that resolved this state. He then devel­oped a method of transferring the energy from the trees and flowers that he found helpful to water, which he then preserved with brandy, and so was able to dispense remedies from this source. Bach worked with his new remedies, in London, finally settled for the last years of his life near Wallingford in Oxfordshire. His work was carried on after his death first by Norah Weeks and Victor Bullen, and then by others from the Bach Centre at his house, Mount Vernon in Sotwell. Bach Flower Remedies are powerful yet gentle healing tools that can catalyze the resolution of deep emotional imbalances. It is a complete system of only 38 remedies. They are prepared by the sun or by boiling, and then a one step dilution to stock essence, and one further to treatment bottle. Aggravations can occur, but they are rare and short-lived. Bach remedies do not appear to have direct effects on the physical body or physical symptoms as other traditional medicines do. Instead, they work through the “mental state to emotional state”  the more subtle aspects of a remedy picture. Everything in the world is composed of vibrations, nature (and music) use these vibrations to provide harmonious patterns. Whole splendor of nature nurtures us and helps us feel better! Flowers and plants uplift us. Certain aromas give  pleasure and sense of peace. Different colors and patterns of flowers and leaves give an entrance to different dimensions.  Paracelsus described the healing power of dew from flowers. But it is the invisible level, the level of vibrations, that is really fascinating. Science is starting to get interested in what we all know is true – the healing power of flowers. Bach flowers do this invisible job by helping and supporting us to reflect on our experiences, moving us on from fixed state of minds to opening up with different channels to uplift us.
