Bach Flower Remedies at a glance
Bach flower remedies are a system of 38 diluted flower essences developed by Dr Edward Bach in the 1930s, each matched to a particular emotional state such as fear, worry, impatience or low confidence. After a conversation about how you are feeling, a personalised blend is prepared for you to take at home. They are gentle and used as a complementary wellbeing support.
How Bach flower remedies are chosen
Each of the 38 remedies relates to an emotional pattern, such as worry about others, fear of the unknown, overthinking or feeling overwhelmed. In your consultation we talk about what you are going through, then choose a few remedies that match and combine them into a personal blend.
How to take them
A few drops are taken in water or directly on the tongue several times a day. The remedies are gentle, non-habit forming and can be used alongside other therapies.
A complementary support
Bach flower remedies support emotional wellbeing during stressful periods. They are not a treatment for depression, anxiety disorders or other mental health conditions, which should be treated by a qualified professional.
