Healthy Emotions with Simple Nature
There are 38 remedies in the Bach Flower Remedies system. All of them were discovered in the 1920s and 1930s by Dr Edward Bach, a well-known bacteriologist, physician and pathologist, and have been successfully and widely used in many countries over 70 years.
Dr Bach in his medical career life, realized that physical health is closely linked to emotional health. To cure a physical ailment, resolving the emotional issues is of utmost importance. By 1930 he was so enthused by the direction his work was taking that he gave up his lucrative Harley Street practice and left London, determined to devote the rest of his life to the new system of medicine that he was sure could be found in nature. The pressure of financial instability and the threat from British Medical Association to withdraw his medical practice licence did not dampen his convictions.
Eventually, Dr Bach succeeded in his quest to discover 38 remedies from the nature that could help resolve any emotional imbalances. Each remedy is associated with a basic human emotion. Mimulus, for example, is the remedy for when we are feeling anxious, nervous or afraid about something. Taking Mimulus will help us overcome our fear and face life with courage.

The Complete System
With the 39 remedies (38 plus the emergency combination remedy*, which is usually thought of as a separate remedy), there are nearly 293 million available combinations. There is no personality, emotional states or moods that cannot be addressed by the remedies. This complete system is timeless, applicable for all times.
Each of the 38 remedies discovered by Dr Bach is directed at a particular characteristic or emotional state. Any of the emotion states could exist concurrently at any one time in a person, which would result in different manifestation of personalities and emotions. To select the remedies you need, think about the sort of person you are and the way you are feeling.
For new users to fully understand each of the 38 emotion states and to accurately identify which are the ones that describe your current emotion states, it is still highly recommended to consult an authorized Bach Foundation Registered Practitioner to help you select the appropriate remedies.

How Do Remedies Work?
Bach Flower Remedies are 'medicines' for the emotions that aim to balance negative states of mind and resolve character defects by encouraging the corresponding virtue. The remedies re-energise the positive emotions, and do not put qualities into us that were not there before. Instead, they encourage and enhance the positive emotions that were already in us, so that they become strong enough to drive out the negative feelings that were dragging us out of balance.
Instead of a new you, the promise here is to introduce you to someone you might not have met for some time: the old you.

The Makings of Bach Flower Remedies
Out of the 38 remedies, only 1 remedy is made using natural spring water. The rest are made using flowers of plants or trees with healing properties.
During the right seasons, the blooming flowers are plucked into a glass bowl of water and placed under the hot sun to draw out the healing energy of the flowers. This is the world-famous 'The Sun Method' discovered by Dr Bach.

The Sun Method
Woodier plants, and those that bloom when the sun is weak, are prepared by 'The Boiling Method' i.e. boiling the flowering parts of the plant for half an hour in pure water.
The Boiling Method
In both cases, once heat has transferred the healing energy in the flowers to the water, the energized water is mixed with an equal quantity of brandy. This mix is the mother tincture. With the all-natural way of preparing the remedies, it is no surprise that the Bach Flower Remedies have been in-use worldwide over 70 years without any adverse or side effects. Using Bach Flower Remedies, is indeed, the safest and gentlest complementary way of healing.
How to take the Bach Flower Remedies?
You can take the remedies in several ways, and the instructions here are designed to be easy to remember. Taking larger doses at one time doesn’t have a stronger effect; but if you are going through a crisis you can take more frequent doses to get through it.
You can use this method for longer-term problems as well. Just sip from the glass throughout the day, at least four times a day – and keep the glass in the fridge or make up a fresh glass each day.
1. Get an empty 30 ml bottle with a dropper in the lid (try the local pharmacy)
2. Add to the bottle two drops of each selected remedy (and/or four drops of the crisis formula)
3. Top the bottle up with still (i.e. not fizzy) mineral water
4. From this bottle take four drops, at least four times a day
Personal mixes will last two or three weeks if you keep them cool – in the fridge, for example. If that isn’t possible – maybe you live somewhere warm or will be carrying the bottle around in your pocket – add a teaspoon of brandy or apple cider vinegar to the bottle before topping up with water. This will help keep the water from turning bad.

To make it easy to remember, you take the same number of drops when taking a neat stock remedy as you do when you are adding remedies to a personal mix or a glass of water: two drops, direct on the tongue.
If you are taking the pre-mixed emergency formula the dosage is four drops, again direct on the tongue.
In either case, repeat as necessary – at least four times a day for long-term use.
