The 38 flower remedies
of Dr. Edward Bach.
A complete system of natural emotional support — discovered between 1928 and 1936 in the English countryside, and still gently at work today.
What are they?
Nature’s gentle wisdom, distilled.
Bach Flower Remedies are a system of 38 natural plant-based preparations developed by Dr. Edward Bach, a respected English physician and bacteriologist, in the early 1930s. Each remedy is associated with a specific emotional state — fear, worry, indecision, loneliness, or longing for the past.
Rather than suppress what we feel, the remedies gently shift our inner balance, helping difficult emotions soften so that our natural equilibrium can return. They are completely safe, non-addictive, may be taken alongside any other treatment, and are equally gentle and effective when used for pets and plants.
Dr. Bach believed that emotional health was the foundation of all well-being, and that nature held quiet remedies for every state of mind. His system remains, almost a century later, one of the most beloved approaches in complementary practice.
How they work
Three simple principles.
Dr. Bach designed his system to be approachable — anyone, anywhere, can learn to choose remedies that fit how they feel right now.
01
Listen Inward
Notice the emotional tone of the moment. Are you anxious? Indecisive? Tired of pushing on? Each feeling has its remedy.
02
Choose & Blend
Up to seven remedies are combined in a small dropper bottle of spring water — a personal blend, made just for you.
03
Take Gently
Four drops, four times daily, on the tongue or in water. The remedies work quietly, often before you notice.
