Bach Flower Essences from Scent By Nature - Header.

Bach flower essences...

The famous Bach Flower Essences sold worldwide today were first created during the 1930's by a respected scientist and homeopath, Dr. Edward Bach. Flower Remedies are the diluted essences of selected wild plants & flowers which he found to be beneficial in helping individuals cope more positively with the stresses and strains of day to day life by restoring emotional balance. Dr. Bach was convinced that prolonged stress resulting from constant feelings of worry, anxiety, pressure or despair can lead to a weakening of the immune system, which in turn makes us susceptible to all kinds of physical ailments.
Years of research had led Dr. Bach to believe wholeheartedly in the remarkable healing powers of plants. Through experience and much painstaking analysis he developed a simple system of natural medicine using the most effectual flower essences to treat 38 of the most harmful negative states of mind. Transforming these negative feelings into positive ones enables the physical body to heal, thereby restoring good health and vitality.


How Are The Remedies Prepared? 
Flower essences sold today, including those more recently discovered, are still prepared using the sun-infusion method developed by Dr. Bach many years ago. He discovered that when the blooms of selected wild plants are floated on spring water & exposed to sunshine for several hours, the healing essence of that species is captured in the water. This infusion is then preserved in brandy and is called a flower essence or flower remedy.

How Are Flower Essences Taken?
  • Single Essences
    • Take 2 drops of the chosen remedy directly on the tongue or dilute in a small glass of water, to be sipped at intervals throughout the day until relief is obtained.
    • If a longer course is needed, mix 2 drops in 30ml of spring water in a dropper bottle. From this take 4 drops, 4 times daily, directly on the tongue until better.
    • If a combination is required, use 2 drops of each remedy as above in a dropper bottle but try not to exceed six remedies in total. 
  • Bach Recovery Remedy
    • Taken at twice the strength of other essences by taking 4 drops per dose or by mixing 4 drops in a stock bottle as above.
