There are 38 remedies in total plus Rescue Remedy, which is a combination of five remedies. Each remedy covers a different mind, state, or personality type. From the 38 remedies, nearly 293 million combinations can be created to treat and heal us all, including our children, pets and plants.
How they work
Like all vibrational medicine, Bach flower remedies work to lift our vibration, allowing us to be more receptive to complete healing. Think of it as a beautiful piece of music. Allow yourself to feel into this and witness how uplifting, calming and inspiring it can be. The remedies, like the music, enter our very being, bringing us nearer to our souls, thus bringing us peace and relieving our suffering. The vibration of each flower essence, permeates us and cures us - not by attacking the negative mind state, emotion or disease, but by flooding our bodies with their beautiful song; their magnificent vibration.
The flower remediesDr. Bach found that the energy held within specific plants and flowers related to different emotions. Each remedy is homoeopathically prepared, is simple and very safe to use. Depending on your emotional or mental state, you would choose your Bach flower remedy according to your undesired emotional state. For example, if you were feeling fearful, you might choose Mimulus (for fear of the known) or Aspen (to treat fears and worries of unknown origin).
To treat your symptoms, look first within at your emotional and/or mental state. Then using this guide, match your state with your chosen Bach flower remedy or remedies. Choose up to four remedies - (place two drops of each chosen flower essence in distilled water and then place 4 drops directly onto the tongue, or in a small glass of water). Take at least four times daily or more often when needed.
