What are Flower Remedies?

In the 1920s and 30s, a noted homeopath, Dr. Edward Bach, discovered a system of flower remedies that can help us rediscover the positive side of ourselves. He believed, as many doctors do today, that attitude of mind plays a vital role in maintaining health and recovering from illness.

The flower remedies act to balance in-harmonies in the emotional and spiritual body, and bring about a gentle healing by bringing the body back in balance with itself. They act almost a catalysts to cause healing. There were originally thirty eight Bach Flower Remedies that at that time Dr. Bach felt would correct all imbalances that were possible. There are remedies such as Holly which he found would heal the state of anger, and open the heart, and remedies that deal with a variety of other emotions from lack of confidence to over enthusiasm and impatience.

Each of the 38 remedies discovered by Dr Bach is directed at a particular characteristic or emotional state. To select the remedies  you need, think about the sort of person you are and the way you are feeling.
