bach flowers

In the 1930's Dr. Edward bach develpoped 38 homeopathically prepared flower essences that are directed at healing according to personality, mood and emotional outlook.

In the process of extracting the essential oil from a plant or flower, the chemical essence is extracted separately as well. This chemical essence is a plant's hormonal imprint, similar to that in a human.

They are a gentle, subtle means of restoring one's peace of mind which allows the being as a whole to heal naturally.

One of the most popular Bach remedies is a blend called "Rescue Remedy", used as an all purpose first aid for symptoms of shock, emotional upheaval and illness related depression. Rescue remedy can be used by adults, children and animals.

There are other flower essence systems made from native plant that originate in Australia (Bush remedies) and other regions in the U.S. (native remedies).
