The Bach Flowers
Dr.Edward Bach was born in England in 1886. He was a Bachelor of Medicine, Surgery, member of the Royal Academy of Surgeons, licensed by the Royal Academy of Physicians, and a graduate in Public Health.
Between 1930 and 1936 he discovered, perfected and applied a sophisticated system of healing prepared from wild plants, flowers and wild trees, now known as Dr Bach's Flower Remedies or Bach Flower Remedies.
Bach Flower remedies deal with a person's state of mind and temperament rather than physical ailments. As the patient's vitality increases, the means for his recovery arise within him.
Bach Flower remedies are benign in action, are non-addictive and can be used by people of all ages with absolute safety.
Bach's Thoughts:
"Disease is the result of the conflict between the soul and the mind, and it will never be eradicated except through mental and spiritual efforts."
"Our physical health depends on our way of thinking, our feelings and emotions."
"The real and basic diseases in man are certain defects such as pride, cruelty, hatred, selfishness, ignorance, instability and greed... such defects are what constitute the real disease... and the continuity of these defects, if persisting in them… is what causes the harmful effects on the body that we know as illnesses”.
"Medicines should act on the causes and not the effects, correcting the emotional imbalance in the energy field."
