Bach flowers are natural remedies used to improve emotional and mental well-being. Developed in the 1930s by Dr. Edward Bach, these remedies are based on wild flower extracts that work to harmonize negative emotions. Today, Bach flowers are appreciated throughout the world for their ability to promote emotional balance without side effects.
What are Bach flowers?
Bach flowers are flower essences prepared from specific wild flowers, each of which is selected for its unique properties. These remedies do not treat physical symptoms directly, but aim to resolve negative emotional states that may contribute to physical discomfort. The concept behind Bach Flower Remedies is that emotional well-being is crucial to overall health.
History of Bach Flowers
Dr. Edward Bach, a British physician, developed Bach Flower Remedies in the 1930s. Bach believed that a person's emotional state was fundamental to their physical health. After years of research, he identified 38 negative emotional states and found a corresponding flower for each. Each remedy was created to help rebalance these emotional states.
How do Bach flowers work?
Bach flowers work on the principle of energetic vibration. Each flower emanates a specific frequency that can positively influence a person's emotional energy. When a person takes Bach Flower, the essence of the flower works to rebalance and harmonize negative emotions, promoting a sense of calm and well-being.
