What is Bach Remedy?
Within the Bach Remedy healing system, all the remedies are prepared from the
flowers of wild plants, bushes and trees, none of them being toxic or addictive.
It is known that psychological states of mind such as anxiety, depression, etc.,
tend to undermine the body’s own healing abilities, hindering recovery. It is
now generally accepted by the medical establishment that stress is a primary
cause of illness because of its effects on the autoimmune system, leading to the
loss of the body’s natural resistance to external pathogenic factors. Long-term
anxiety is known to deplete the vitality, causing the sufferer to feel below
par, not ill but not quite right. Balance of body/mind is required to correct
these ills, and as balance is achieved, harmony returns, allowing energy to be
concentrated within the natural, internal, healing system of the body.
Therefore, the remedies deal with these states of mind rather than dealing with
physical complaints.
The late Edward Bach, MB.,BS.,MRCS.,LRCP.,DPH., who had practised for over
twenty years in London as a Harley Street consultant, bacteriologist and
homeopath, developed this system. He gave up his practise in 1930, devoting his
life in his quest to seek remedies derived from the intrinsic energies stored in
plants. His aim was to utilise these energies to allow sufferers to overcome
their anxieties, stress, depression, etc., thereby consolidating their positive
energies and bringing about healing.
Through his research and acquired sensitivity, Dr. Bach developed the ability to
sense, in himself, the properties of that flower simply by holding his hands
over a flowering plant, or the flower in the palm of his hand.
To produce a particular remedy, he would first put himself in a particular
negative state of mind, also taking on the physical complaint. Once he had
achieved this state, he would allow his intuition to lead him to find the flower
that would provide the remedy. When the right flower had been found, his state
of mind would immediately be restored to one of tranquillity and this would be
followed, shortly after, by the healing of the physical complaint.
In total, he discovered thirty-six different flowers that can treat negative
states of mind. These he categorised into seven distinct types: -
- Apprehension
- Loneliness
- Uncertainty & indecision
- Over-sensitivety to ideas and influence
- Despondency and despair
- Lack of interest in current circumstances
- Extreme empathy for the welfare of others (to the detriment of
one's own health)
