Bach flower essences/remedies were developed in England in the late 1920’s by renowned British researcher and physician, Dr. Edward Bach. In addition to a physician, Bach was a bacteriologist, immunologist and pathologist who turned from allopathic medicine to homeopathy. His understanding to reversing disease was to get to the root of the cause of disease. He believed that it was not enough to treat the body alone, but to also treat the mind and spirit for he believed this was the cause of illness. He believed in treating the persons soul and that physical problems were secondary. Through his own intuition he knew that the flowers and trees held the healing properties he was seeking. He developed 38 different flower essence from specific flowers to help with a wide variety of emotional issues. The remedies are now considered as vibrational medicine. They are taken by mouth or applied to the skin.
