7 Bach flower remedies for inner harmony
Updated: Sep 25
Bach flower remedies are used in healthcare worldwide. They constitute a form of energy therapy developed by Dr. Edward Bach in the early 20th century.
Edward Bach was an English physician and medium. He was highly sensitive and loved long walks in nature. During his lifetime, he developed 39 Bach flower remedies. Bach flower remedies are vibrational remedies made of spring water and flower extracts that act on an individual's psycho-emotional state or personality.
Bach flower remedies act on the subtle bodies of the multidimensional energy structure of the human being. While conventional medicine acts on the physical plane, Bach flower remedies have an effect on the emotional, mental, and spiritual bodies of a human being. These subtle energy bodies, which together form the human aura, play an important role in an individual's psycho-emotional state and personality.
According to Edward Bach, illness reflects the imbalance between the physical personality and the Higher Self. Bach's vibrational remedies act on the energetic imbalances of the subtle bodies, thus allowing the personality to better harmonize with its Higher Self and regain inner harmony.
Dr. Bach divided his 39 remedies into seven different groups based on specific emotional and mental symptoms and personality traits. Here are three commonly used Bach flower remedies:
Rock Rose: for panic and intense terror.
White Chestnut: in cases of worry, obsessions and repetitive thoughts.
Mimulus: for specific and known fears.
Impatiens: for impatience, rushing, and irritability.
Larch: for lack of self-confidence and fear of failure.
Olive: for physical and mental exhaustion.
Star of Bethlehem: for physical and emotional shocks and to overcome sadness.
Rescue Remedy: Rescue Remedy is a blend of five different Bach flowers, chosen by Edward Bach (Clematis, Impatiens, Cherry Plum, Star of Bethlehem, and Rock Rose).
It is used in cases of acute stress and emergencies.
You can combine up to seven different Bach flowers. For this, use one of the following methods:
In a glass of water: Put 2 drops of each chosen Bach flower in a glass of water. Drink a small sip 4 times throughout the day.
In a dropper bottle: Fill a small bottle with water, add 2 drops of each chosen Bach flower, and take 4 drops directly on the tongue, 4 times a day.
Directly on the tongue: Place 2 drops of each chosen Bach flower directly on the tongue, 4 times a day.
If you use Rescue Remedy, put 4 drops in a glass of water or directly in your mouth. In cases of acute stress, you can repeat the dosage as needed, if necessary up to 6 times a day.
