Discover the 38 Bach Flower Remedies

''Take no notice of the disease, think only of the outlook on life of the one in distress''- Dr. Edward Bach

Bach Flowers, also known as Bach Flower Remedies, are a form of natural, holistic therapy developed in the 1930s by Dr. Edward Bach, a British physician and homeopath.

They are liquid extracts made from the essences of wildflowers and plants, designed to balance emotions and support mental well-being. Unlike conventional medicine, they don’t directly treat physical conditions but instead work on emotional states that may contribute to illness or imbalance.

The remedies are safe, natural, non-addictive, and can be used by people of all ages—including children, pets, and even plants.

🌸 In short: Bach Flower Remedies are used to restore emotional harmony, which in turn supports overall mental, emotional, and physical well-being.

Rescue Remedy is the most famous of the remedies, but in fact is not a remedy at all but rather a mix of five different remedies, which together help you deal with any emergency or stressful event. However, it is not intended to replace emergency care or assistance.

For example Bach Flower Combination remedies could be : Star of Bethlehem, Rock Rose, Clematis, Impatiens, Cherry Plum.
