Bach flowers: the history

Bach flowers are natural remedies identified in the thirties by Edward Bach. These are essences obtained from the maceration in water of different species of flowers and from the subsequent dilution in water.

Edward Bach believed that the human being becomes vulnerable to disease when an underlying resistance acts as an obstacle: this resistance can take the form of emotions such as anxiety, anger or mental rigidity.

Dr. Bach believed that the dew collected from plant flowers could contain some of the properties of the plant and that this was even more effective when collected on flowers grown in the sun. So he decided to pick the flowers and immerse them in a bowl of water placed under the sun's rays. Bach called the result of this process "mother tincture" .

He therefore founded flower therapy , which differs from phytotherapy because it uses extracts that contain the energetic strength of the flower, while phytotherapy uses therapeutic substances and acts on the disorder.

The Bach method combines the four elements: the earth that nourishes the plants, the air that feeds them, the sun or fire that allows them to impart strength and the water that heals with its magnetic and beneficial power.

What are Bach Flowers for?

Born in the field of herbal medicine and represent one of the most effective natural solutions for the treatment of emotional disorders, These drops work only in case of psychic and emotional disorders such as anxiety, depression, panic attacks and insomnia.

The main purpose of Bach flowers is therefore to alleviate the psychological discomfort that underlies the physical symptom, in such a way as to reduce the latter as a direct consequence. One of the fundamental principles of this thought is in fact the idea that the body and the mind are closely connected to each other, and therefore condition each other.

How to choose Bach flowers

The first step to understand which is the most suitable flower for one's ailments is to ask oneself about one's own anxieties, one's inner disturbances and one's phobias, which say a lot about one's personality.

The numerous existing species were immediately divided into groups on the basis of the disorder for which they were indicated: for this reason it is possible to find Bach flowers for stress, shyness, panic, guilt and much more.

To deal with flower therapy and for self-prescription, you need to know your state of mind . There are seven types of moods to choose from: fear, uncertainty, loneliness, disinterest in the present, despair, tendency to be influenced by the ideas of others, excess of concern for others.

Bach flowers for children and pregnant women
