Bach flower remedies are dilutions of flower "essences" developed by Dr.Edward Bach. They are similar to homeopathy in many respects and form a part of alternative medicine. Some researchers believe that they exert their claimed effects via the placebo effect, however practitioners feel the "energetic signature" of the flower can be transmitted to the user and affect a person's psychological state.

One difference between homeopathy and Bach flower remedies are the methods used to produce them, called "potentization": the sun method and for the hardier plants the boiling method, both invented by Bach. Another difference is that Bach remedies are used to treat the mental symptoms that are the root cause of the disease treated. Bach flower remedies are not dependent on the theory of successive dilutions, and are not based on the Law of Similars, which states that the signatures of toxic substances will stimulate the immune system to fight off a pathogenic condition that is currently expressing

 those same symptoms. The Bach Remedies are all derived from non-toxic substances, which is based on a positive energy that can redirect or neutralize the negative energy.

There are thirty-eight original Bach remedies plus "Rescue RemedyTM", each recommended for certain mental and emotional problems. They form a complete system with which practitioners treat every variety of human emotional imbalance. 

Each remedy is used alone or in conjunction with other remedies. Up to six or seven remedies are typically mixed together by us for each client to meet his/her individual needs. The remedies are used primarily for emotional and spiritual conditions, including but not limited to depression, anxiety, insomnia and stress and we determine what you need but the completion of an in depth work up.

Rescue Remedy

The best-known Bach flower remedy is "Rescue RemedyTM," a pre-blended combination of Rock rose, Impatiens, Clematis, Star of Bethlehem and Cherry Plum remedies. The ingredients are used to relieve acute stress, anxiety, and panic attacks, especially in emergencies. Rescue Remedy is taken as needed, and is available either in a small spray-bottle, in a glass bottle with an eye-dropper. Drops are generally taken under the tongue. Rescue is also available in the form of "Rescue CreamTM" which is rubbed into the skin.

Rescue Remedy and other Bach flower remedies are used on household pets and domestic animals, and have been shown effective in calming them and improving problem behaviors. Some clients have even said that they are also useful for the treatment of diseased plants.
