Bach Flower Remedies

Bach flower remedies are dilutions of flower material developed by Edward Bach, an English physician and homeopath, in the 1930s. The remedies are used primarily for emotional and spiritual conditions, including but not limited to depression, anxiety, insomnia and stress.

The remedies themselves are prepared by submerging the plants in pure spring water and allowing them to stand in the sun for a few hours. The water is then diluted and given to the patient in small doses. Practitioners of the system maintain that the process transfers a 'life force' from the plant to the patient, and alleviates mental and physical disorders.
