These days life is full of uncertainty. If you find that you are feeling uncertain about things and it is impeding your life then Bach Flowers may be able to help.

An Introduction to Bach Flowers 

Firstly, let me tell you a little bit about Bach Flowers. They were developed by Dr Edward Bach, his story is below. Bach Flowers are completely safe flower essences that work on your emotions. There are 38 different types available which cover every emotion experienced.

They are safe enough for pregnant women, babies and children to take. They even work on animals and plants.

There are no side effects with bach flowers and they can be taken in conjunction with any other drugs or natural treatments with no contra-indications.

I have used and prescribed these remedies for about 18 years and have experienced amazing results.

The Bach Flower Story 

The Bach Flower remedies were devised by Dr Edward Bach. Dr Bach was an eminent Harley Street doctor who had become dissatisfied with the way doctors were concentrating more on the disease than the actual patient. He was of the belief that you had to look at the whole patient not just what their disease was.

He left his practice in 1930 and devoted his life to finding new ways of healing people and so the Bach Flower remedies were born.

He observed that people had 38 different emotions and came to the conclusion that if you fixed their emotional health then their physical health would improve.

He explored the English countryside until he found his 38 remedies. The last 19 of them he found in the Oxfordshire countryside where he lived in Mount Vernon until his death in 1936.

The Dr Edward Bach Centre is still based in Mount Vernon and carries on his work, making the remedies and passing on Dr Bach's teachings.
