Dr Bach and The Flower Bach Remedies

Dr Bach studied medicine at the University College Hospital, London and obtained a Diploma in Public Health at Cambridge, he was a house surgeon and a casualty medical officer at University College Hospital.
He worked at the National Temperance Hospital and practiced for over twenty years in London as a Harley Street consultant and bacteriologist. After research in immunology, he developed an interest in homeopathy, and joined the laboratories of the Royal London Homeopathic Hospital in 1919.

He believed that illness is the effect of disharmony between body and mind and symptoms of an illness are the external expression of negative emotional states; in 1928 he began work on his own remedies made from plants. He was sure a new system of medicine could be found in nature so he left to work in Wales and the English countryside.
By 1932 he had discovered the first of his 12  remedies, in 1933 he began making the second group of remedies the 7 helpers; in 1934 he found the remaining 19 remedies that he needed to complete the series. All these were used on many patients who came to him for free treatment.

Dr Bach created a system of Flower Remedies, a system of 38 flower remedies to help mankind achieve joy and happiness. remedies that correct emotional imbalances where negative emotions are replaced with positive.



The Bach Flower Remedies is a simple system of healing that  can work in conjunction with herbs, homeopathy and medications and are safe for everyone including children, pregnant women, pets, the elderly and even plants.

Talking about myself, I had the luck to come into contact few years back with people that used the Bach Remedies, most likely, if my memory doesn't fail me, in 2010, through both my homeopathic doctor and my Healing touch/ Cranio sacral  therapist and friend. 
Both gave me small bottles of flower remedies more times than I can count and my God, this works, this works so delicate and efficient, so powerful and so intelligently! As I write this, I have on my bedstand two bottles, one almost finished and one to start, both with flower remedies. 
Both full of magic that helped me change  my emotional state, my subconscious programs, fears, anxieties, intolerance, pain, possessive nature and many more that may arise from this thing we call life and interaction with others and ourselves.

I can say wholeheartedly  that Bach Flower Remedies have been a true friend on my road to recovery, health and a different, more evolved, spiritual and most importantly balanced me.

Below I will list the 38 remedies with few words on each, for more info check the link at the end of the post and search for a practitioner that can help choose the right Remedies for you.
