Bach Flower Remedies Training Courses

Bach Flower Remedies are a healing system discovered by Dr. Edward Bach using the essences extracted from 38 different flowers. According to Bach Centre website, Dr. Edward Bach practiced medicine in London, then specialized in bacteriology. This led him to research vaccines in his own laboratory. His work as a physician during the first world war prompted him to pursue a more holistic approach to medicine that treated the emotional state of the patient, as well as their physical conditions.



Each remedy is suitable to a problematic personality characteristic or a distressing emotion. The flower remedies matched to these characteristics and emotions are very specific. In order to learn about the whole 38 remedies, and how they interact with one another in complex situations that require treatment with several remedies, attend a class. The Bach Centre approves courses in 22 countries around the world, including the U.S. and Canada. These courses start at a basic level, and work up to the requirements someone must satisfy to practice as a Bach Remedies Therapist.
