Define Bach Flowers

Define Bach Flowers

Bach Flowers, also known as Bach Flower Remedies and Bach Flower Essences, are a set of 38 tinctures created by Dr. Edward Bach in the 1930s for alleviating emotional suffering and bolstering mental health.

History

    In 1930, Dr. Edward Bach left his lucrative London medical practice because he felt traditional medicine treated only the symptoms of disease rather than addressing the emotional and mental states of the patient. Building on the tenants of homeopathy, Dr. Bach believed that 38 distinct personality structures governed differing reactions to illness and subsequent emotional or mental suffering.

Creation

    Bach Flower Essences are made by sun-steeping the flower in spring or mineral water or boiled, filtered water that has cooled. The resultant liquid is often combined with a preservative such as brandy or vegetable glycerin. A few drops of the Essence can be placed under the tongue or in a glass of water.
