WHAT ARE THE BACH FLOWER REMEDIES?
In happy and peaceful periods of our lives we usually do not encounter health issues. At such times, we enjoy life and share our joy with our family and friends.
However, sometimes this may not be the case, and we find that we need a little something to help us balance our emotional state and continue our daily life without losing our motivation. That's what the original Bach Flowers drops are for, vitamins for the soul.
THE HISTORY OF THE BACH FLOWER REMEDIES
Edward Bach (1886 – 1936), an imminent researcher and bacteriologist, had a clinic on Harley Street in London. Bach determined 38 fundamental negative emotional states or types of behaviors in people and determined flower essences appropriate for these states.
In the final years of his life, he continued his studies in Mount Vernon, Oxfordshire which today remains the center of Bach Flowers therapy. The therapeutic essences are extracted from flowers found in the region through a process discovered by Bach.
