For Emotional Balance: The Bach Flower Remedies

With the help of The Bach Flower Remedies, we can heal ourselves of most emotional imbalances. A few drops of Aspen or Mimulus, for example, and an anxiety state will disappear.


There are 38 Bach Flower Remedies. They come in 20 ml (0.7 fluid ounce) brown glass dropper bottles. One usually puts drops into water to be sipped as needed. I have found this book very helpful: The Bach Flower Remedies, Revised Edition, copyright 1997 by The Dr. Edward Bach Center.

Wild Oat is a fundamental remedy. When we take it for four consecutive days, we shall become clear about our main concern in this life; what we want to accomplish.

Olive is for exhaustion and Sweet Chestnut is for the depths of despair. The remedies are specific and much work has gone into differentiating one from another. For example, Hornbeam is for the kind of tiredness we feel in the morning or at the beginning of the workweek. We feel we are lacking the strength to get through. Later in the day or later in the week, however, we see that we have gotten through. Olive is used when the person has no reserves of energy left and is completely wiped out.

These flower essences make a fascinating study, and I certainly encourage you to begin your investigations immediately. The work of Edward Bach is not known as widely as it should be. If you are not able to locate a professional practitioner where you live, you may need to practice on yourself, but nothing will be lost by doing so. You will learn how to help yourself and perhaps help others as well.
