Bach Flowers: What Are They?

Bach Flowers are herbal preparations developed by Dr. Edward Bach in the 1930s. There are 38 flower essences, each associated with a specific emotion or state of mind. The essences are prepared from an infusion or a decoction, intended to capture the "energy" of the flowers, which are then diluted in alcohol (often cognac) to act as a preservative. The solution can be taken orally or applied topically to specific points such as the temples or wrists.

How Bach Flowers Work

  1. Flower essences work by harmonizing negative emotions and restoring emotional balance.

  2. Each flower essence is associated with a specific emotion and works on an emotional and mental level.

  3. Bach Flowers work deeply to soothe the underlying causes of disturbed emotions. 

  4. They help reduce stress, anxiety, sadness, fears, phobias, anger, and other emotional disturbances.

  5. Flower essences can support your emotional well-being by bringing a sense of calm, tranquility, and clarity.
