Manage your emotions, fulfil your potential

In the 1920s and 30s, a noted homeopath called 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. When he died in 1936 he had developed a complete system of 38 flower remedies and also the famous Rescue® Remedy, each prepared from the flowers of wild plants, trees and bushes. The remedies work by treating the individual rather than the disease or its symptoms. Still made at Mount Vernon, the home of Dr Bach, Bach Original Flower Remedies are the only flower essences bearing Edward Bach's signature. Today, these gentle remedies are used world-wide and are sold in over 66 countries.

About the Remedies

Dr Edward Bach was a Physician and Homeopath who spent his life searching for the purest methods of healing. Dr Bach discovered 38 remedies which he split into seven different groups and can be combined to suit the individual. The flower remedies are made from wild plants, trees and bushes. They work by treating the individual rather than the disease or its symptoms and are a gentle way to manage your emotions and rediscover the positive side of ourselves.

Each of the 38 Bach™ Original Flower Remedies is unique and helps to treat a different emotion. Most people find it reasonably easy to select their own remedies. All you need to do is find the remedy (or remedies) that seems to reflect your situation, mood or personality the best. You can mix up to seven together at a time. All the states described are everyday human emotions that we all feel from time to time. Even the most negative state has a corresponding positive quality that shows us what we can be when we are fully ourselves. If you need help choosing the remedy for you, use the Remedy Chooser tool above.

Rescue Remedy® is a combination of five Bach™ Original Flower Essences - Rock Rose, Impatiens, Clematis, star of Bethlehem and Cherry Plum, specifically blended to help you face daily stresses or emergency situations in a better frame of mind. It can be taken when you feel fearful, nervous or unduly uptight and bothered. Today the distinct 'little yellow bottle' is relied on by millions of people when things just get too much.

How to Take the Remedies

The remedies are easy to take.

Add two drops of each chosen remedy to a glass of water.
Sip from it as often as you want, but at least four times a day for longer-term issues.

For convenience when taking several remedies at once, add two drops of each chosen remedy to an empty 30ml dropper bottle. Top up with mineral water, adding a teaspoonful of brandy or cider vinegar as a preservative if you wish. From this bottle take four drops at least four times a day. 30ml dropper bottles can be bought ready- to-use from your Bach™ Original Flower Remedies stockist.

For immediate use you can take the remedies undiluted direct from the stock bottle. Just drip two drops on your tongue, and repeat as necessary.

You can use the remedies externally. Just a few drops on the lips, temples or pulse points is effective and allows for first-aid use.

When using Rescue Remedy® use double the amount you would use for the single remedies. Put four drops of Rescue on your tongue or into your glass of water or Remedy  treatment bottle, rather than two.

Take your Bach™ Original Flower Remedies as often as you need to. They are also safe for young children. If you are pregnant please consult your doctor or midwife.

Remember that the stock remedies are preserved in alcohol. Dilute the remedies or use them externally if this is an issue.
