Bach flower remedies and its essences

Bach flower remedies were developed by Dr. Edward Bach (1886-1936) and are a form of alternative medicine inspired by homeopathic traditions. Bach flower essences are produced via a method called "potentization" which enhances the "energetic signature" of the flower from which the user derives the described psychological or health benefit.

All of the Bach flower essences are produced from non-toxic substances and are perfectly safe for use although medical science regards them as nothing more than placebos. In other words, they work because the person using them believes they will work.

Practitioners of the Bach flower system believe that with the remedies at their disposal they can treat every form of emotional imbalance through the use of one or more of the flower therapies. Although often prepared in special mixture for a given individual, the essences are available for purchase at health food stores in pre-formulated bottles with droppers for sublingual use and recommended dosage information. A normal price to pay for 0.7 fluid ounces would be approximately $15 with lower prices available online.

What Are Some of The Essences And Their Effects?

Altogether there are 38 remedies directed for use with specific characteristics or emotional states. The list, offered by the Dr. Edward Bach Centre, includes the following therapies.

AGRIMONY

Long used to help with sleep problems, the perennial flowering plant agrimony in the Bach system is recommended for "mental torture behind a cheerful face." There are between 12 and 15 species of agrimony native to temperate regions of the Northern Hemisphere.

ASPEN

A tree in the willow family, with five species typical to the colder climates and mountain ranges of the Northern Hemisphere, aspen essence is prescribed for "fear of unknown things."

CHERRY PLUM

Native to central and eastern Europe as well as southwest and central Asia, the cherry plum, which may be regarded as either a small tree or a large shrub, flowers in the spring with edible fruit being produced by August or September. As a flower essence, cherry plum treats "fear of the mind giving way."

CHESTNUT BUD

The buds of the Horse Chestnut are used in this essence of Bach flower remedy which treats a "failure to learn from mistakes." In the spring, the deciduous tree native to the Balkans (but present throughout the world) produces small white flowers with a distinctive red spot.

CHICORY

Chicory, known most often for the roots, which are used as a coffee substitute is a bushy, perennial herb so common it is a roadside weed in some parts of the United States. Many people do not realize there are uses for others parts of chicory. The flower in the Bach system, for instance, is a remedy for "selfish possessive love."

CRAB APPLE

A wild or crab apple is a member of the genus Malas, which represents some 25 species of trees which produce fruits, the best known being the common table apple. As one of the Bach flower remedies, crab apple is a cleansing therapy that can also be used to treat self hatred.
