About the Remedies

History: Dr. Edward Bach, a homeopath and bacteriologist, created this system of flower essences in the 1930s to heal and support the emotional body. He believed that treating his patients based on their emotional state or personality type would not only improve their mental and spiritual well- being, but would also help the physical body heal itself.

The Flowers: Dr. Bach's traditional method of preparing the flower essences is being carried on today by descendants of his original staff to ensure purity and quality. The mother tinctures are still made at his home in Mount Vernon, England. They are bottled in a nearby facility owned by Nelson Bach. The essences are now being distributed to 66 countries worldwide. They are non-toxic and non-interactive*. The flower essences work on an energetic and vibrational level and are very gentle. The effects are gradual and subtle but long lasting. Once the individual has reached the desired improvement, the essence is no longer needed. Since tendencies and emotions can revisit, the essences may become helpful again in the future, but continuous use is not necessary to maintain the result.

*People taking Antabuse should be aware of the small alcohol content in the remedies. "Antabuse is also known by the name disulfiram. A very unpleasant reaction occurs when a patient under disulfiram treatment ingests alcohol."

About Treatment Bottles: After the essence(s) are chosen for the individual a treatment bottle is prepared containing drops from the stock bottles and diluted with spring water. The Bach Flower system is somewhat similar to homeopathy in that the solution is highly diluted. The treatment bottle usually lasts about 2 weeks. After that period of time the situation can be re-evaluated.

About Time Frames: Each individual responds at a different pace. Some see or feel changes quickly. Deeply rooted behaviors and emotions may take longer periods of time to respond. Usually there will be some shifts during the first two week period, often enough to warrant changes to the choice of essences for a subsequent treatment bottle. Some clients will find that one treatment bottle has helped them move past a difficult phase, and don't require anything more at that time.
