The therapeutic system by using Bach Flower Remedies is designed to tackle the original emotional and spiritual problems before they manifest into a physical disease. This does not mean that Bach Flower Remedies can only be used to treat emotional and spiritual problems. It means, that instead of focusing on the physical disease, they try to solve the original problem of the disease and to bring a change and opening on spiritual, emotional, and mental level. The system of Bach Flower Remedies consists originally of 38 flower essences developed and used by Dr. Edward Bach. Each flower essence is unique and is used to treat a different problem.

For more complex cases, it is possible to mix a couple of remedies and to take the mixture rather than taking one remedy at a time.

However, no more than 7 remedies should be mixed at once. If you feel that you need more remedies than 7 at once, try to carefully think about your problems and pinpoint the top 6 remedies that seem to be the most predominant in your case.

Why is there alcohol in Bach Flower Remedies?

Alcohol is added to preserve the remedy. The remedy is prepared from flowers soaked in water and it can contain

microbial contamination. After adding high-quality alcohol, such as brandy, the possible microbial contamination is neutralized.

The strength of the remedy is not determined by the amount of alcohol it contains and the diluted remedy has

the same effect as the remedy taken straight from the bottle.

How do you take them?

The usual way is to dilute a couple of drops of the remedy in a bottle of water and to sip from it as often as you feel like, but at least

four times per day for longer-term problems. It is also possible to take the remedy without diluting it directly, but the strong taste

of brandy can be unpleasant for some.

When should I stop taking the remedy?

You should stop taking the remedy after the problem has disappeared. There is no need to take the remedies out of fear that

the problem might come back or take them prophylactically.
